The Bugle
No. 4
Winter 2010
Music refines the taste, purifies the heart, and elevates our nature. It does more: it soothes in sorrow, tranqillizes in passion, and wears away the irritabilities of life. It intensifies love, it fires the patriotism, and makes the altar of our devotion burn
with a purer, holier fire.
-- W.W. Hall
Hall's Journal of Health for 1862
