I have been very touched to hear Mozart and beautiful Renaissance choral music on network television news shows during the many reviews and reports on the Pope's life that have been aired during the last two weeks.
It seems like American culture accepts that classical music naturally fits state funerals, the Christmas season, sometimes the Easter season, and the ceremony of most weddings.
I wonder why it is that music that lends such a sense of nobility and celebration - even sacredness - to these occasions isn't permitted to make each and every day of our lives celebratory and special.
