Musica dei donum optimi trahit homines, trahit deos.
Musica truces mollit animos, tristesque mentes erigit.
Musica vel ipsas arbores et horridas moveat feras
cunctisque solatia prestans.

by Edward Tambling
Music, the gift of the supreme God,
draws men, draws gods;
music makes savage souls gentle
and uplifts sad minds;
music moves the trees themselves
and wild beasts,
affording solace to all.
