"For all their musike bothe that they [the Utopians] playe upon instruments, and that they singe with mannes voice dothe so resemble and expresse natural affections, the sound and tune is so implied and made agreeable to the thinge, that whether it bee a prayer, or els a dytty of gladnes, of patience, of trouble, of mournynge, or of anger: the fassion of the melodye dothe so represente the meaning of the things, that it doth wonderfullye move, stirre, pearce, and enflame the hearers myndes." ~ Sir Thomas More, Utopia
