One of the many stories the Quaker attitude toward music-so board.

As Edwin Alton remarks in his unpublished thesis, Quakers and Music in the British Isles, ''The pattern that these early Quakers laid down was repeated for many gener­ ations without much fresh thought being given to the subject" (1965, p. 57). The onset of quietism, with its rigid observa­ tions of the old ways, set Quakers apart more than ever, even from their fellow Dissenters. It is possible that the sacrifice of music was not actually as great as it would seem. Even if they had wanted to go to concerts, probably only the city­ folk would have had the opportunity, and musical instruments and lessons would have been expensive. "Probably music entered so little into the lives of the great majority of them that they had little difficulty in ignoring it complete­ ly" (Alton, p. 252). It is a rather reassur­ ing thought. Still, there were probably always those to whom music was readi­ ly available, and that the sacrifice may at times have seemed too great is demon­ strated by the existence of "Gay Friends." Elizabeth Fry (then Gurney) retained her love of music even after becoming a "plain" Friend at the turn of the cen­ tury. In a letter to her brother, Joseph John Gurney, she wrote the following: ~ t'- 5' il My observation of human nature and q the different things that affect it frequent­ ~ ly leads me to regret that we as a Society ;

After a brief silence, the group leader rose and put on a record,quietly announcing the com­ poser and the title of the work. When it had been played through, silence again settled over the group-or perhaps I should say remained over the group, as there had been a very attentive silence during the music. Several people spoke out of the final silence before the meeting concluded, none referring to the music, yet each somehow seeming to have been refreshed and inspired by it. Perhaps more than any other meeting I have attended, it was both peaceful and thoughtful. How much of that proceeded from the music, one can only guess. It seems appropriate to let the final word come from someone who could never have existed within the Society 300 years ago: a professional musician. Far from seeing music as an end in itself, Jean Hadfield points out that it is an in­ tegral and essential part of the com­ munity, drawing strength from it and giving it back. The artist cannot isolate himself from the community. He must be concerned about both the sufferings and joys of others and find ways in his life to express this care. Without this, the life blood of his art will dry up. Nevertheless, an artist must be true to his art and dedicated, in the conviction that his fellow men need this as much as they need bread.

10 meant to be moved off center, and already she knew those deep places in her spiritual self where music could not take her. Music is not the only language of the soul. It can help describe, point, connect, but there are times that we can treasure being away from sounds alto­ gether. Those who have experienced God's power in the stillness of a " gath­ ered" meeting for worship, or who have walked alone or with a Friend in full awareness of God's presence, know another realm to which Elizabeth Fry refers. It is in these "deeper recesses of the heart" that music or other aids to worship are not able to guide us. This leads to more queries: Does the music we listen to sometimes cloud or dull our minds, or trivialize things of the Spirit? Do we allow sufficient time in our lives to silently listen to the voice of God, not filling our minds and bodies with sounds which we really do not hear? And thus, the cautions about music voiced and written about by Atkinson, Farnworth, and Fox were not simply over­ reactions to an art form they did not un­ derstand. As is the case with all products of human creative imagination, music has its limitations: it can lead us aright, astray, or simply not far enough. Ex­ cerpts from the concluding minute of a Pendle Hill workshop led by Donald Swann, called The Song as an Act of John Woolman Healing (May 1983), sum up some of the limitations as well as opportunities: Inside you is a song; you find it and it can and Animals be an agent for God's healing.
