1000 Flowers for the Planet - #413 Keep Alive Music from the Past

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #413 Keep Alive Music from the Past

Have you ever wandered around an old trades day and listened to the old time music they play? We did recently, and it was such a lot of fun. I also remember, with much pleasure, a special evening watching and listening to live music played in the Tirol when I toured Europe many years ago. Music from the past can be a new experience to many people. It’s important that we not only cherish the music of our classical composers such as Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and many, many more, but keep alive the music from even earlier centuries and cultures. Even music from the 19th and 20th centuries should be preserved and brought to life by live bands or musicians. Live music has a whole different feel to it, a completely exhilarating experience. Encourage yourself and your children to listen to different types of music from many different periods in history. You may be surprised how much you like it. Let’s ensure out musical heritage is kept alive.
