Hidden Art: Music
We sing to Him, whose wisdom form’d the ear,
our songs, let Him who gave us voices, hear;
we joy in God, who is the Spring of mirth,
who loves the harmony of Heav’n and Earth;
our humble sonnets shall that praise rehearse,
who is the music of the Universe.
And whilst we sing, we consecrate our art,
and offer up with ev’ry tongue a heart.Henry Purcell
English Composer
1659 – 1695Author of The Gift of Music:
Great Composers and Their Influence,
Jane Stuart Smith, is the *Jane* whom
Edith Schaeffer references in her book
The Hidden Art of Homemaking,
as well as L’Abri.I enjoyed listening to this interesting interview of her from 2008.

How cool!?! Thanks, Dana
Reading about Jane reminded me of her book also. I read that one years ago and should probably pull it back out.
I like The Gift of Music quite a lot and recommend it to my high school students. I like Purcell too!
