Thus without music no discipline can be perfect, for there is nothing without it. The very universe, it is said, is held together by a certain harmony of sounds, and the heavens themselves are made to revolve by the modulations of harmony. Music moves the feelings and changes the emotions. In battles, moreover, the sound of the trumpet rouses the combatants, and the more furious the trumpeting, the more valorous their spirit. A chant likewise encourages the rowers, music soothes the mind so that it can endure toil, and song assuages the weariness encountered in any task. Music also composes distraught minds, as may be read of David, who freed Saul from the unclean spirit by the art of melody. The very beasts also, even serpents, birds, and dolphins, are enticed by music to listen to her melody. Indeed every word we speak, every pulsation of our veins, is related by musical rhythms to the powers of harmony.
