Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 50: Devoted to Literature, Science, Art, and Politics; December 1882 Indeed, it seems to have been a sort of musical horse-race. But there was this gain at all events music was at last listened to as music, and not alone as ritual; it was thought worth the while in itself; there was a chance that it might come to something really musical in course of time. It was essentially a secular reaction against plain, sol emu psalmody; but all within the house of worship, the choristers, drunk with the new wine, setting themselves up on their own account to do their part in the public service; no strait jacket any longer, but a general sunburst, and a breaking loose of the imprisoned school boys.
