I love the music of William Schumann (and Roy Harris and Charles Ives and Walter Piston) - so much great American music out there and orchestra rarely perform it. 'Tis a shame.

@QMPhilosophe Thank you for watching. So glad you enjoyed this profound and touching music.

Jesus weeps at all the violence perpetrated by the wars of our history, both foreign and domestic. Schuman captures those feelings in his music based on a folk hymn.
