A full moon in Montana, photo by Christopher Martin
A symbol of change, a measure of time, the guardian of sleep, the harbinger of incredible natural forces, the consoler of the lonely, the cause of madness, the light of love.
In this hour, the moon . . . in music by Dvorak, Offenbach, Orff, Debussy, Beethoven, and more.
