The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – Luna (the moon in Spanish).
Classical music has been inspired by the Moon because it naturally evokes emotions & ideas that composers like to explore – mystery, nostalgia, romance, solitude, stillness, beauty, dreams & desire. Soft dynamics, flowing melodies & serene harmonies create the beautiful feeling of moonlight. So, when we hear a piece inspired by the moon, we’re hearing a composer seeing the moon as a delicate doorway into human emotion.
