The words, the rhythms
the vibrations in the music
shimmering in my soul
words of the student
power in these memories
the work of the master
changing the world
Gifts to the senses
the music of our lives
dancing in the speakers
the story come to life

“Remembering Composer Leon Kirchner
The music world is mourning the death of Leon Kirchner, one of America’s greatest composers. Kirchner died yesterday at his home in New York, the cause was heart failure. We revisit a conversation that Robin Young had with Kirchner before he was honored at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum earlier this year.”
