The exquisite sounds brought to us through classical music, with a range of splendid musical pieces, created by superb composers, gives us all good reason to introduce this wonderful music to others.
It's a real tragedy that there are adults who have never been exposed to the some of the most inspiring, melodic and atmospheric compositions ever produced. Our lives can only be enriched by exposure to such masterpieces of music.

To think that there are people today, young and old who have never heard Dvorak's New World Symphony, The Planets by Gustav Holst, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik courtesy of Mozart or even the relatively well-known Fur Elise by Ludwig Van Beethoven.

The world would be a better and more peaceful place if more people listened to classical music and perhaps endeavored to open it up to those around them. The opportunities to make your world more classic conscious are numerous.
Bringing this style of music to those who have yet to appreciate it is something they will thank you for

Why not tune your radio to the Classical station at home and in the car. Or the next time you visit your local music store, look for some of the excellent compilation albums that usually include the better known and more melodic pieces from the classical world.
Do you have babies or very young children? Why not send them off to sleep to the strains of those beautiful, serene, haunting melodies that encourage a relaxed feeling of well-being.

Classical music has become lost among the abundant varieties of music available today. While it may never again become the world's first choice, classical music should still have a place in our musical lives giving us and our children a welcome change from the fast-paced, frantic music styles that seem to add to the frenetic, stress-filled lives of so many.

Go on, relax. Pour yourself a drink, put your feet up and press the play button on Mr. Dvorak.

Ya' know, sometimes I wonder that if Mozart is alive today, would he compose classical music or rock. ;o) Good to see another classical music fan around!
