THERE'S BEAUTIFUL MUSIC,

AND THEN

THERE'S "BEAUTIFUL MUSIC"

<smile>
 

We'd like to ask for your help, please, so we can achieve one of the main goals of this web site!

 
The goal we're talking about:

People do things every day that are as beautiful as the most beautiful classical music ... but ... do we ever *hear* about those things?!  Well, okay, *once* in a while we do, but it's pretty rare ... these things just aren't "dreadful" enough to warrant coverage in such places as our newspapers. <grrr>

Result: we don't get to hear about a *lot* of things which are *inspiring*!

*So* ... we'd like for this site to be a place where people, and especially children, can come and be inspired by the beautiful music they see and hear, and learn about, and also be inspired by the "beautiful music" they read about!  Hopefully, this will be an encouragement to *all* of us to remember to create our lives, moment by moment, day by day, and year by year, in a way which is as beautiful as the most beautiful classical music (and other types of music which are truly beautiful, too!)  

Thus, our request of you:

Please *write* to us (via e-mail) and share *two* things:

(1) The name of a particular piece of music (whether classical or otherwise) which you find truly beautiful ... it would be nice, if you're willing, to tell us why you think it's beautiful (not in terms of, say, musical structure, but why you find it beautiful, *personally*) [We're asking for this so that our readers, and especially our *younger* readers, encounter *lots* of opinions about what people think of as beautiful music.  There are studies which say that music which is felt to be beautiful by a particular individual is health-enhancing to that individual.   We want people to have an encounter with as many types of beautiful music as possible, so they can find the music which *they* respond to.  In turn, we hope they will be inspired to find the "beautiful music" which lives in *them*!]
 
and
 
(2) Something which you've seen someone do which you consider to be "beautiful music."  It could be something you observed during a very brief period of time, or over a lifetime.  As we suggested in our "goal," above, one of our hopes is that, by reading about the "beautiful music" in people's lives, children will be inspired to live *their* lives like the most beautiful music, classical or otherwise.
