(Westminster Catechism)
I wish to see all arts, principally music, in the service of God who gave and created them.
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I would not for the world forego my humble share of music...the Devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
(Martin Luther – foreword to the Wittenberg Gesangbuch, 1524)
The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
