In Memoriam

From Stravinsky’s famous In Memoriam: Dylan Thomas to Hindemith’s
Trauermusik,   composers have long written their most
personal and moving music as a   tribute to a friend or
great figure they admired.  We’ll remember
  several great personalities with musical tributes by
modern day   composers.
