INSPIRED MUSIC
Beethovan's Ninth Symphony never ceases to inspire me. Undoubtedly the greatest symphony ever composed, it uses Schiller's poem, "An die Freude" as its centerpiece:
"Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Within thy sanctuary.
Thy magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers,
Under the sway of thy gentle wings."
Also, anything by Telemann!
