norman dello joio - to saint cecilia lyrics

Loading...

from harmony this universal frame began:
when nature underneath a heap
of jarring atoms lay
and could not heave her head

the voice of thunder was heard on high
“arise, arise ye more than dead.”
then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry
the elements, they heard from high:
and to their stations leap
and music’s power obey

from heavenly harmony this universal frame began:
from harmony to harmony
through all the compass of notes it ran
the diapason closing full in man

what passion cannot music raise or quell!
when jubal struck the corded sh+ll
his list’ning brethren stood around
and, wond’ring, on their faces fell
to worship that celestial sound
