I've just listened to Beethoven's Choral symphony. It was such a joyful piece of music, it's actually made me fill up. I've fallen in love with this music.

Incredible jaw dropping piece, made me feel like I knew him. When I first heard this I was just getting into choral music at junior high school and I couldn't believe what those voices were doing...it was mind numbing! And with me being a fair to barely middling vocal student.
It was like you had to be a god to sing like that. Impressive. And then when I learned it was all about freedom of the human spirit..well...like WoW. Kennedy was in office in those days and that made a difference to me. Human progress was honored for a little while back then.
