  • “Where there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.” - J.S. Bach

    “There is nothing in the world so much like prayer as music is.” - William P. Merrill


    "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.” - Ludwig van Beethoven

    "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent." - Victor Hugo

    "If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: ‘The only proof he needed for the existence of God was music.'" - Kurt Vonnegut

    “Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.” - Martin Luther

    “The Church knew what the psalmist knew: Music praises God. Music is well or better able to praise him than the building of the church and all its decoration; it is the Church’s greatest ornament.” - Igor Stravinsky
