“The timbrel represents the death of fleshly desire because of honesty itself. Dancing is the agreement of reasonable spirits all saying the same thing and in which there are no divisions. The stringed instruments suggest the unison of the voices of moral excellence and the unity of the organ which is the church of God…”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — COMMENTARY ON THE PSALMS 150:3-5
