Oh, dear Miss Brent: Well, yes, I do like the music of Chopin but, I must say, your choice of that piece of music on what should have been a happy day ("Merry"
mas) has me a bit perplexed.
Might I share a bit of the
with you, as it pertains to the gift of music that has been given to us by
Almighty:
Psalm 150:1-6:
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Now, then, rather than listening to dreary funeral-like music (and having it affect you in such a state), I suggest, wholeheartedly, that you set your mind on something that is more inspiring, such as a triumphant, victorious musical selection. And do give praise to
for the blessed
of
only Son!
A blessed day to you, Dear,
Sincerely, Isabella W.
