The Sanctuary of Melody
The Daily Strengthening from Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Tuesday, 29 Sivan 5782 – "The gentile musicians were geniuses, but they did not act for the sake of Heaven, therefore they died in disgrace," these are his holy words:
Every second is songs – Moses built the Holy Temple only to sing songs; the goal of the Temple is that the essence is the melodies.
All the wars (in the world) were to control the melodies; the idolaters, the nations of the world, it all stems from the melodies.
All day (the gentile) plays the violin, all day he plays Mozart, Beethoven, Bach. It is written about Mozart that he did not even have a burial – if a person does not follow the Torah, in the end, no one knows where he is buried.
Mozart had no money for a burial, he did not have a single penny, he did not have anything... he was lonely, he did not marry, he passed away at the age of 36. He barely had a minyan at his funeral, he had nothing to pay a penny with, they buried him among the poor, among people found in the streets, they buried him just in some corner there, no one knows where.
In the second stage of his work, Mozart began to compose opera melodies and the like. They could compose a melody for 20 musical instruments at once, it was a tremendous brain – the Rebbe opened all the gates of music.
Now (at the time of giving the lesson during the days of Sefirat HaOmer) it is the Netzach of Netzach, the Rebbe opened all the gates of music – the Hall of Melody.
Everything was started by the Baal Shem Tov; the Baal Shem Tov and Rebbe Nachman are the ones who found the Hall of Melody. They could compose a composition in which one would hear 20 musical instruments at once. A composition of some 20 hours, one song to Hashem.
They would play for Hashem, a person comes only to thank Hashem, the whole purpose is to say Sefirat HaOmer with the melodies. To say 'LaMenatzeach BiNeginot' seven times with the Menorah, like King David. With this, David would win all the wars; 'LaMenatzeach BiNeginot' and all the prayer arrangements are in the shape of the Menorah.
And after that, we have 'Ana B'Koach', to say 'Ana B'Koach' three times (with a melody) and after that (the melody) abundant flow will be influenced – we rectify the sin of Adam HaRishon.
In 930 years, Adam HaRishon did nothing, so we must atone for his 930 years.
