Music is as necessary for humankind as it is for birds. It affirms life. Ovid narrates the journey of Orpheus to hades playing his lyre and singing to rescue the soul of his wife Eurydice. Even though he found her and she followed him, he failed to bring her back. They called Eurydice.
Modern sources attest equally to the life-affirming power of aesthetics.
The Sacred Sacred experience is sublime and holy. Gaulli's Triumph of the Name of Jesus illustrates this. Despite the amusing misquotation, Longinus has perhaps inadvertently identified the nature of religion as such. This gravity uplifts and does not press down. Religious worship cannot therefore do without music.
