"Music is a part of all cultures and, we might say, accompanies every human experience, from pain to pleasure, from hatred to love, from sadness to joy, from death to life...We see how, over the course of the centuries and millennia, music has always been used to give a form to that which we are not able to speak in words, because it awakens emotions that are difficult to communicate otherwise. So it is not by chance that every civilization has placed such importance and value on music in its various forms and expressions." - Pope Benedict XVI

"This introduces the consideration of the spiritual value of music, called in a unique way to infuse hope into the human soul, so marked and sometimes injured by it's earthly condition. There is a mysterious and profound relationship between music and hope, between song and eternal life..." - Pope Benedict XVI 4.24.08
