Wisdom demands attention here too. But whatever the music, we know how easily it can stir our memories. It has its own associations across time. Music can transport us back to weddings, back to Sabbaths, back to better times, back to tragedies, back to quietness. Some music does this trivially, but some of the grandest music a quiet lute melody or a live symphony orchestra can overwhelm us and shake us up, remind us that we have forgotten the important things.
Music can indict our priorities.
This too, though, is a trait of the Spirit. It can give us a taste of true Sabbath. Music reflects the Spirit not just in its connections to hearing, timeliness, omniscience, causelessness, mysteriousness, but also its unutterable expressiveness, its ability to draw on the deepest parts of our persons, and its ability to comfort via memory. This is the work of the Spirit reflected in the work of music. This is why the Lord decorates some of His most glorious acts of creation and redemption with music.
