安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

It was in connection with the Swedenborgian Society that a taste for music was first aroused in me. As an appendix to the hymn-book of the society there were short selections from the oratorios. I fastened instinctively upon these, and although denied much of a voice, yet credited with "expression," I was a constant attendant upon choir practice. The leader, Mr. Koethen, I have reason to believe, often pardoned the discords I produced in the choir because of my enthusiasm in the cause. When, at a later date, I became acquainted with the oratorios in full, it was a pleasure to find that several of those considered in musical circles as the gems of Handel's musical compositions were the ones that I as an ignorant boy had chosen as favorites. So the beginning of my musical education dates from the small choir of the Swedenborgian Society of Pittsburgh.

白话

卡内基说,他对音乐的爱好最早来自斯威登堡教会的唱诗班。教会赞美诗集后面附了一些清唱剧选段,他本能地抓住这些,虽然嗓子不好,却被认为有“表现力”,所以常去唱诗班练习。指挥科滕先生常原谅他唱出的不和谐音,因为他热情高。后来他听到完整清唱剧,发现音乐界视为亨德尔杰作的那些曲子,正是他当年无知时选中的最爱。他的音乐教育就从匹兹堡这个小小的唱诗班开始了。

上下文

卡内基少年时随家人参加匹兹堡的斯威登堡教会,那里有唱诗班。他后来成为慈善家,捐建了许多音乐厅。
