      Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

      Homage

      The gift of immortality through the hands of great composers. How would you like to be the subject of a composition by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, or Mozart? In many cases, the fame of the music has outlasted that of its honoree, but we’ll explore some of these heartfelt gestures and the composers who made them. Works include Handel’s "Water Music" and Mussorgsky’s "Pictures at an Exhibition."
