I. January 21 - Schiller
The hallowed melody of magic song
Does to creation as a link belong;
Blending its music with God's harmony,
As rivers melt into the mighty sea.
II. January 5 - A rule drawn up in Germany, signed by Emperor Ferdinand III
"No man shall dare to perform on dishonorable instruments, such as hurdy-gurdies, bagpipes, and triangles, which beggars use for collecting alms, so that the noble art of music is brought into contempt by them."
III. November 10 - Milton
And ever against eating cares
Lap me in soft Lydian airs,
Married to immortal verse
Such as the melting soul may pierce.
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony.
