The Canterbury Music Scene
Influences: MUSIC is a roaring-meg against melancholy, to rear and revive the languishing soul; affecting not only the ears, but the very arteries, the vital and animal spirits, it erects the mind and makes it nimble. This it will effect in the most dull, severe, and sorrowful souls, expel grief with mirth; and, if there be any clouds, dust, or dregs of cares yet lurking in our thoughts, most powerfully it wipes them all away, and that which is more, it will perform this in an instant - cheer up the countenance, expel austerity, bring in hilarity, inform our manners, mitigate anger...Many other properties Cassiodorus reckons up of this our divine music, not only to expel the greatest griefs, but it doth extenuate fears and furies, appeaseth cruelty, abateth heaviness; and to such as are watchful, it causeth quiet rest; it takes away spleen and hatred, be it instrumental, vocal, with strings, wind...it cures all irksomeness and heaviness of the soul. Labouring men that sing to their work can tell as much; and so can soldiers when they go to fight, whom terror of death cannot so much affright, as the sound of trumpet, drum, fife, and such like music, animates...It makes a child quiet, the nurse's song; and many times the sound of a trumpet on a sudden, bells ringing, a carman's whistle, a boy singing some ballad tune early in the streets, alters, revives, recreates a restless patient that cannot sleep in the night, etc. In a word, it is so powerful a thing that it ravisheth the soul, 'regina sensuum', the queen of the senses, by sweet pleasure (which is an happy cure); and corporal tunes pacify our incorporeal soul: 'sine ore loquens, dominatum in animan exercet', and carries it beyond itself, helps, elevates, extends it.- Robert Burton
