I think I've always been in love with Classical music. I honestly can't remember a time when I didn't enjoy listening to it. Ever since I was a kid. Remember Fantasia? Yeah, that was one of my favorite Disney movies when I was a kid. I always loved hearing the music. I thought it was great. And of course, old-school, hand-drawn Disney animation didn't hurt either.
In particular, I've always loved Beethoven. I think his music is just really honest, and pure, and in a way, simple. Unlike somebody like, say, Mozart. (Who I don't dislike, but sometimes, he kind of overwhelms me).
Anyway, what I've posted above is the final movement of Beethoven's 6th Symphony. For anyone not familiar with it, the 6th Symphony is like Beethoven's homage to nature. He loved to go out for walks in the woods and from what I've read, would often just sit and listen to the forest. The 6th Symphony tells the story of a day in the German country. In the final movement, a new day breaks after a terrible storm though the night. It is so incredibly beautiful.
Whenever I hear it, I always feel like no matter what happens, everything is going to be okay. So long as we have music like this, so long as it survives, so will my hope for humanity.
