2090. What impression harmonious singing and Music makes on spirits and angels

It has happened two or three times that I have listened to singing in harmony, as I previously heard the music of stringed instruments [1996-8], and the spirits were so delighted by that singing that they were almost dumbfounded. Its sweetness penetrated their inward parts. Similarly in the case of angels, I was able to have a certain sense of awareness of their joy. 1748, 26 May.
