My friend, Geoffrey Withington, has been sharing some amazing information about classical composers and with it some biographical information on each one. He is helping me to gain a new-found, but growing, appreciation for classical music. One of my favorites so far, whom Geoffrey has introduced me to, is Antonin Dvorak, whom you can read about on Geoffrey's blog.
A few days ago, while I was enjoying some classical music being played on the cable on tv, I heard a familiar tune. I was captivated because I'd heard it in an old black and white movie a long time back and it had a quiet sad quality to it. I had heard the music with words to it which I found had been added sometime later. The original music was all instrumental.
I happened to recall the name of the now song entitled, "Going Home".
I found the video on YouTube with accompanying Hubble Telescope images taken in space. Listening to the music, with the words included near the end, made me think of those whom I have loved who are resting in sleep awaiting the resurrection. I think "Going Home" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever listened to.
