Welcome to Quiddity, the original podcast from the CiRCE Institute, featuring interviews and ideas that are important to Christian classical education. 

Here in episode 52, John Hodges, director of the Center for Western Studies and an experienced conductor and composer, explains why he thinks we take music too seriously, how to cultivate good listeners of music (it begins, he claims, with cultivating humble listeners), and what he would listen to if he could only listen to one piece of music (forever).
