We definitely need some universal joy at this time and as I am presently listening to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony of which a part is called An Ode to Joy I had this vision of one assigned time,when every symphony, band in concert halls and auditoriums in the whole world would play ” Ode to Joy” simultaneously. I think the reverberations of the sound and sentiments would unite the world into one cause – the need for the human spirit to show it’s need for joy and universal strength. I’m still an optimist.

Thank you, Elena! I can at least hear the melody in my head now. What a wonderful idea – the whole world could use this – in unison.
Although I do enjoy Classical music and it is said that music can calm the savage beast it is an individual thing. However, I do believe there is a fact that listening to the right kind of music that’s in keeping with the rhythm of a heart beat will calm the heart. When my husband was in Rehab after his stroke. There was a man who came around every few days to do music therapy , that was a good thing.
