| No special knowledge is required, he wrote, 'we are not offering music to the criterion of the artist', but only an expression of the thankfulness, the hopes, the penitence that spring from the heart as it comes before the throne of God. |
| It was later said that 'music has been the portal through which the natives entered the Church.' Music remained central to the life of New Norcia for years, and as late as the 1940s aboriginal boys were joining monks in the chanting of the mass. |

Romantic music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3450 words) |
| The era of Romantic music is defined as the period of European classical music that runs roughly from the early 1800s to the first decade of the 20th century, as well as music written according to the norms and styles of that period. |
| Romantic music is related to Romantic movements in literature, art, and philosophy, though the conventional periods used in musicology are now very different from their counterparts in the other arts, which define "romantic" as running from the 1780s to the 1840s. |
| Music was regarded as a quasi-religious experience, and the "Philharmonic" society became part of a concert as a time for deep engagement in the music, in contrast to the less formal manners of previous concert life. |
