“Music is well said to be the speech of angels.”– Thomas Carlyle Related Quotes “Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive, even the smallest task in music is so absorbing, and carries us so far away from town, country, earth, and all worldly things, that it is truly a blessed gift of God.”– Felix Mendelssohn “You can’t fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that’s got nothing to do with it. It’s how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them.”– Etta James “Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.”– Henry Ward Beecher
