Another recent work for my Music, #Pandemics and History course: the award-winning opera "On Call: COVID-19" by David Shenton and Christine Steyer. They characterize it as "An operatic love letter to global frontline health care workers." I use this as an introduction to how form shapes opera, and explore the intersection of news and #CurrentEvents with #creative response.

Achso, es ist ja #Advent. Wer eine großartige Vertonung eines der ältesten Kirchenlieder überhaupt hören möchte: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcmQt-q5m6g (lat. Text: Ambrosius von Mailand um 386 n. Chr., Vertonung aus dem 12. Jh. & Martin Luther 1524) #kirchenmusik #steyer
