Song and music are a language distinct from speech - the language of feeling. Song supplies means by which multitudes may express thoughts as well as feelings. Let a thousand people speak at once; all thought and feeling drowned. But let them sing together in perfect time and tune; both thought and feeling are raised to a pitch of energy else inconceivable.

Music furnishes one of the most exquisite, elevating, unwearying pleasures of which
our nature is capable. But it does much more.
Song and music are a language distinct from speech – the language of feeling. This language supplies the means by which multitudes may express their thoughts as well as their feelings as with one voice. Let a thousand people speak at once; all thought and feeling are drowned in hubbub. But let them sing together in perfect time and tune; both thought and feeling are raised to a pitch of energy else inconceivable.
