Musica Humana

What is more, human beings have also their peculiar musical instrument, namely their voice. This instrument is special not only because it pertains directly to human bodies, but also because its sound can exploit the preferential way to the soul through the ears in a particularly radical way: by trusting words to music, the voice can make any kind of teaching delightful. This is essential for sacred music, which is the foundation for the transmission of religious meanings through sounds.
