Infect others with my passion for classical music

“So, this is Bach singing?”
I have failed in their education.

Last night I was singing my children to sleep. As they were taking a long time to fall asleep, I started searching for lullabys that I like, and when I was running out, any songs that mention night or sleep… then I remembered, there was a Hebrew translation of Die Lotusblumme by Schuman, and I tried to recall the words. It’s about a lotus flower that’s in love with the moon (aha! moon – night!). When I was done, my 4.5 years old daughter was looking at me with wide eyes: Mother, may I get out of bed to give you a hug and a kiss? She was filled with the beauty of the song, overflowing with love.

Many people don’t know that. They think it’s “calm”, if they only listened! It’s exciting and bursting with energy and emotion.
I’m not saying everyone should like it, or try it. I just believe that some people may enjoy it as much as I do, but they don’t know it.
