Letters to Electra ~ Welcome to the World of Classical Music

25/01/16

Dear Electra,

Although we're almost a month into 2016, I want to greet you a happy new year. I've decided that the wait for the first day of school would be too long and I've missed writing to you. In between the hiatus I've been writing my book, reading a lot of stories and listening to new types of music.

My new favourite music genre happens to be classical music. It's a beautiful rest from listening to songs with vocals. I adore how classical music is able to tell stories without words and instead uses tones, textures and a variety of musical instruments. As I write this, I'm listening to Cristofori's Dream, a piece I discovered last midnight when I couldn't get to sleep. After listening to it a billion amount of times I went to bed, anticipating the morning when I could listen to it again. If you're new to the genre of classical music, Electra, I definitely recommend this piece. It will immediately pull you into the brilliant world of instrumentals.

Once you've listened to your first piece of classical music, please write to me and describe how it makes you feel. Does it empower you, or does it feel like a hurricane in your ears?

Stay powerful and beautiful as usual,
- M
