Catching the Moon
Romantic; enigmatic, dark; made of cheese, blue; something you may be over. The Moon has had music written about it from time immemorial. From Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” to pop standards like “Fly Me to the Moon,” the Moon’s central role in music reflects its timeless, universal appeal. It’s a poetic and versatile symbol that allows musicians to explore a wide range of themes and emotions, Becoming a recurring symbol for good and bad, for hope and dismay in hundreds of songs. Today we play a few of them.
