Congreve,assures us - 'Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.'

A sentiment echoed softly by Cowper: 'With melting airs, or martial, brink, or grave, Some chord in unison with what we hear Is touched within us, and the heart replies.'

Longfellow's cry is more prosaic: 'Music is the universal language of mankind.'

And no doubt he would have nodded wisely at Kamahal's way of putting it ... 'Music has a fantastic way of getting a meaning across.'
