Imperfect Harmony - Reading Together - The Last Invocation


“A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"Music steeped in sorrow can sometimes be the very thing to help us get past seemingly unbearable grief." (page 208, Kindle Edition)

"Music critic Henry Krehbiel wrote, 'To sing in a choir is the quickest, surest, and best way to become intimate with music, to get close to the seat of its emotional life, where its heart-throbs can be felt and heard . . . to hold communion with its gentle saints and glorious heroes.'" (page 208, Kindle Edition)
