Great International Hits

In Italian, we would say “che bella cosa, la musica!” (“What a beautiful thing, music!”). What would we do without it? Mostly, music speaks of things we feel, like love, smiles, laughter, desire, God, hope, longing, honesty, sincerity, and faith. Of course, there is hurt, pain, disappointment, disillusionment, anger, and all the emotions that make us human as well. Music and emotion are synonymous. And our emotions are universal, meaning all peoples of all countries have emotions in common. We respond to life and love as we respond to music. What makes music truly international are the expressed emotions we all share.
