We have a "music room" in our house. Actually, its the formal dining room- but we don't eat many formal meals, so I redid the room to house my Baby Grand (which is my favorite toy).
Anyway, on the wall of the room, I've already stencilled the first stanzas of the second movement of Beethoven's Sonate #14 (the "Moonlight Sonata," and one of my favorite pieces of music). On the opposite wall, I would like to stencil the phrase (in fact, I had one of those sleepless nights last evening and this phrase just sort of popped in my head around 3am):
"Music is God's favorite language."
in as many languages as possible. I would particularly like to do so in:
French
Italian
Hebrew
German
Spanish
Portugeuse
Greek
Russian
Latin
Dutch
and Swedish if possible.
If any of you bi-/tri-/multilingual folks could supply me with the translation of this phrase, I would be really appreciative (please indicate any applicable emphasis markings that should accompany the text)! I'll post pictures when its complete if you like as well.
Thanks,
Pete
