Here is Wagner's famous musical
creed, which it is claimed by a writer in
Music "every musician should know and
repeat, even as the faithful repeat its
prototype and model in the churches:
II believe in God, Mozart and Beethov-
en-, and also in their disciples and apos
ties; / believe in the Holy Ghost and in
the truth of the one indivisble art; [
believe that this art comes from God, and
dwells in the hearts of all enlightened
human beings; 1 believe that whosoever
has but once reveled in the ennobling
joys of this exalted art will serve it for
all time. nor ever prove untrue, and [
believe that through this art all may find
salvation.
II believe in the Day of Judgment, and
that then all those will be damned who
have dared in this world to deal sordidly
with this chaste and noble art, putting
it to shame and dishonoring it, out of
badness of heart and mere greed for the
pleasures of the senses. But, contrari-
wise. / believe that the true disciples of
this exalted art will be transfigured in
heavenly commingling of sunny, sweet
smelling consonances, and will be united.
for all eternity, to the celestial source OF
harmony.
