This final episode of our series on active listening. We build on our introduction to some of the elements of music and take a look at the larger structures that create longer pieces.  We listen to some of the fundamental building blocks of my piece, Inspiration, and hear how they work together to tell a story over the course of 5 minutes.

In this second of our three-part series, we dive into the elements of classical music, melody, harmony, meter.  We listen to section from Inspiration and hear fragments that help peel back the surface and hear the component parts from which music is constructed

We are constantly surrounded by music and it can be difficult to slow down and give our full attention to it.  In this three-part series, Gustav Hoyer will walk through some thoughts about how to listen anew to engage classical music.  

In this episode, Gustav begins with some thoughts about 'cleansing the palette' and then connecting with the players and context in which the music was made.

In this initial episode, we introduce this podcast.
