Treasures of Earlier American Music

Music refines the taste, purifies the heart,
and elevates our nature.
It does more:
it soothes in sorrow, tranquillizes in passion,
and wears away the irritabilities of life.
It intensifies love,
it fires the patriotism,
and makes the altar of our devotion burn
with a purer, holier flame.
