Judge Custis remarked, in spite of his fagged face, for good resolution and yesterday's unbracing had left him somewhat limp and haggard still. "He brings out 'love' as if he had made a vow against it, but the confession had to come. Many a monk would sing the same if instinct could find a daring word in his chorals.
Or as Auerbach put it: "Music washes from the soul the dust of everyday life." Realizing the influence of music, Martin Luther sang the Reformation into the hearts of the people with his noble chorals in which every one might join.
These, with all the other singers, stood around the revolving music-stand, on which the large manuscript chorals were placed. The old Byzantine pulpit still occupies its original position at San Luis Rey, but the sounding-board is gone no one knows whither.
Here, also, that voice of his, which rose above the choir and organ, sang the alto in those chorals which he gave to the world. Monmouth, sung in this great church by five thousand voices, must needs have a magnificent sound. The altar-piece is a Lord's Supper, by Louis Cranach, who appears in the foreground as a servant.

Among other things are two of the chorals; pieces of rawhide used for tying the beams, etc., in the original construction; the head of a bass-viol that used to be played by one of the Indians; a small mortar; and quite a number of books. Perhaps the strangest thing in the whole collection is an old barrel-organ made by Benjamin Dobson, The Minories, London.
It is known that Luzzasco Luzzaschi, pupil of Cyprian di Rore, master of Frescobaldi, and composer of madrigals and organ toccatas, wrote the chorals in madrigal style for Guarini's famous "Pastor Fido." There were choruses to separate the acts and two introduced in the action.
