Music's Children September 2009
Welcome back to our 6th season of
We are ALL Music’s Children!
SEPTEMBER’s Child…
London, England: circa 1955
What an old soul looks out of this young face! She’s a kindred spirit to another whose face, less mobile, haunts this issue of the WholeNote.
More coincidences? Both have acquired a penchant for ribbons. Each in their own ways has crossed oceans, continents, and centuries to delight audiences. Both continue to inspire string players to free “the human voice.”
