And the minute the words were out of his mouth somebody over in the crowd struck up the doxolojer, and everybody joined in with all their might, and it just warmed you up and made you feel as good as church letting out. Music is a good thing; and after all that soul-butter and hogwash I never see it freshen up things so, and sound so honest and bully.
– Mark Twain
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Chapter 25. Disgusted after the King’s speech over the coffin of Peter Wilks, pretending to be his brother, Huck tells how music unifies the crowd and changes the vibe into a feel-good one, just like in church. Doxolojer is an allusion to the doxology, a short hymn of praises to God.
