Music for Shelter — April 10, 2020
Derived from a range of outstanding choral music, my Playlists are designed to be like concerts, of about an hour in length. Each will be organized by a theme. The music of this first Playlist speaks of hope in the midst of turmoil, despair and loneliness. If music be the food of love, play on.
