Why is saint Cecilia patroness of musicians?

It is said that on the day of their marriage, while the musicians played, she sang to God in her heart. It is important to remember that she didn´t want to marry.

Pope Gregory XIII named her patroness of the musicians because she had demonstrated an irresistible attraction to the melodious chords of the instruments. His sensitive and passionate spirit for this art thus turned his name into a symbol of music.
