I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful; they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.

Inspirational, Music, God

As long as we live there is never enough singing.

Music, Long, Singing

Martin Luther, Helmut T. Lehmann (1986). “Luther's Works: Lectures on Isaiah”

We can mention only one point (which experience confirms), namely, that next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. No greater commendation than this can be found — at least not by us. After all, the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both word and music, namely, by proclaiming [the Word of God] through music.

The devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men.

Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God.

Music, Music Is, Gift From God

Martin Luther (1818). “The familiar discourses of dr. Martin Luther, tr. by H. Bell”, p.428

A person whodoes not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being; he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.

Music, Doe, Ass

I have no pleasure in any man who despises music. It is no invention of ours: it is a gift of God. I place it next to theology. Satan hates music: he knows how it drives the evil spirit out of us.

Music, Hate, Men

Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy; for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.

Music, Heart, Evil

Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.

After theology I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
