Ultimately, we listen to music to be moved, for example, to be elated, exulted, calmed or pained. Which are the 3 most affecting pieces of music do you find the most affecting?
Copland, Gershwin, Louis Armstrong, Rogers & Hammerstein (and several others) should be required listening in grade school since their music is such a part of our national character. Make civics, a foreign language, and art/music appreciation (humanities) mandatory from an early age for a better America!
Herbert Howells English Cathedral Music,especially the "Collegium Regale"(King's College) service. Mozart's Requiem,possibly the most important piece ever. Beethoven's 9th symphony.A turning point in history.
