Music

You read in FOV Chapter 22 that music has been a powerful medium of communication worldwide, but that it really affects each person differently. Some composers have relied on musical instruments to convey their message, while others mix music and lyrics. In some instances the lyrics have been most important especially when they have spoken of people's patriotism or rallied people in times of crisis.

Music can make you sentimental for your homeland and can inspire and bring you joy. Talk about your relationship to music.Are you a musical person? Is there a piece of music that you especially enjoy? Can you share it with us (by link and/or by words)?
