The Bugle
January - June 2009
No. 1
"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, 1862
