I commend this young Iraqi woman, Zuhal Sultan, for keeping the SOUND OF MUSIC alive in her war wrecked country. Would a live assembly of the National Orchestra of Iraq on tour in the United States applaud the honorable presence of that Abraham Lincoln of Iraq-American president George W. Bush ? We know today - WE with any sense know the U.S. occupation of Iraq was not only the greatest foreign policy blunder in U.S. history. It destroyed their ancient culture. We learned in high school Ancient History that Iraq was " the cradle of civilization ". BLOOD DANCE is moving. Why not compose an orchestral piece in honor of the Abu Ghraib prison ? It might sound like a Beethoven Pastoral - or H.P. Lovecraft's THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN -too eerie for this world.
How touching that America should now welcome the terrified refugees it created ? We are all heart in America -just sentimental slobs.
There must be classical music inspired by the Holocaust applicable to this " unprecedented migration crisis ".It will take you to a place you can go to that is not where you are..... LIKE A CAVE !
We also need to be human
