Does the bible say music soothes savage beast?

No, the phrase "Music soothes the savage beast" is not from the Bible. It is a quote from William Congreve's 1697 play, The Mourning Bride. The line appears in Act 1, Scene 1:

Music has charms to sooth a savage breast,

To soften rocks, and bend the knotted oak.
