Music seemed, however, the uatura!l voice of eniotion ; its spell, sv potent yet so subtle, sub- jreted alike the untutored savage and the fterce auimal to its sootbieg influence. The fexibility of the tones of voice im ordinary speech, would seem to lavite to greater trialand greater triumph in the realms of sovg. Nature's yreat choir with answering wusic in forest, rill, cataract and ovean, must early have attuned the sensitive soul to music but bow soon it took a systematic sbape will ever be conjectural. Lastrumental Music, which is a sequence of voeal, is early mnentiourd in holy scripture, bat it was reserved for the Catholie Churels to fll up the mea: iis perf iuspiration to their poetry and to their battles, Lut it was of earth, earthy. ‘Tie Hebrews attuned ft to Jebovab, with peattery, barp and timbre! they praised God, Aaron avd Moses answering Misiam, when the sea rolled upon the pride of Egypt. King David, the sweet singer, with four thousand teachers taught Israel to tune its voice to devotions swell, and thence the Israelites sang before the Lord, till carried away into ezptivity, they Lung their harps upon the willow and refused to sing the Loid’s song in a@ strange land. Then thetr sublime music was forgotten, and the second ‘Temple never beard the heavenly strains that had filled the first. The Catholic Church alone is able to renew such music, and, even now, swelling in that mosic known @s the Catho- lie chant, we hear the psaims of David, the prayer and praise of the chureb, escending to & od in the same tones which ages ago made glad the Temple of Jerusalem. St. Ambrose, of Milan, laid the found:tien usical setence in the fourths centery, two ceu nies after, Pope Gregory made it so perfect that it has received and needs no improvement. Popes. Bishops, and Kiags all lent ibeir sanction tomn- sic, until the organ, the crowning triumph of in- struments! art, first gave its solemn melody to the world in the seventh centary, and sacted mu- sic found there a fitting voice for swetting bat- monies.
