J\.S\. Bach said, “All music should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the soul’s refreshment; where this is not remembered there is no real music but only a devilish hub\-bub\.” He headed his compositions: “J\.J\.” “Jesus Juva” which means “Jesus help me\.” He ended them “S\.D\.G\.” “Soli Dei gratia” which means “To God alone the praise\.”
