  • 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 – 1695

    Author 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.
