It is the music of a transitional period, and of a time when men feel that great changes impend in their intellectual and moral beliefs. It is the music of those who long for certainties, and feel they long in vain. It is, also, the music of those in whom ignorance has bred confidence, and a familiarity with divine mysteries which degenerates into unctuous jauntiness. This, at least, is my feeling, and I have had a wide acquaintance with dissenting sacred music. In concluding this brief survey of some of the psychical characteristics of the nations of the north-west of Europe, I must not omit to notice the different religious training which the north has had from the south of Europe. Centuries ago, Roman Catholicism embraced both. Times have altered. Protestantism broke the spell under which the human intellect was bound, and has enlarged the sphere of mans knowledge only to show him how much there is which he can never know. Catholicism, in engaging to answer all the intellectual and moral needs of man, took from him responsibility, and gave him a restfulness to which Protestantism is a stranger. The change from the old faith to the new (or rather revised) faith, has not been without its effect on music; and the emotional cravings and wild unrest, which characterise the best music of our times, may be largely attributable to this cause.
