- “Try to imagine being a destitute beet farmer in 1700. All of your life you hear only the birds in the sky, the sounds of hammers on wood and iron, and shovels digging in fields. The closest thing to music you get is a rowdy chorus once or twice a month at the local commons, more often during a harvest.At some point during your simple life, you have occasion to travel to a great city with a grand cathedral. It is the largest building you’ve ever seen, adorned by previously unimaginable wealth and splendor. It is God’s house. And there is music. It is a haunting, terrible melody that fills your chest with something that you cannot describe. The sound is so loud that it simply can’t be real. The pipe organ creating the noise is a device that you have heard stories about, but it is more impressive than you could ever guess. It is a colossus, a sparkling gilded tribute to God and truly must be the greatest creation of man.What a world we live in.” ― M
