Music: Sun Jan 10

 

This morning’s musical selections draw attention to the work of composers who benefitted society in their lifetimes and beyond. Whether they elevated the status of indigenous peoples in their music, extended educational opportunities to disenfranchised minorities, or raised funds for charitable causes, these composers’ music brought not only aesthetic pleasure to listeners, but also served greater moral goods.
