Musical Quote for Today

"Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
'To him who sits on the throme and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!'"
—Bible: Revelation 5:13

Hallo, this is my first post in the forum. Sorry for my mistakes in english (I'm a Spaniard).
2nd of August 1905 was born Karl Amadeus Hartmann. So, this year has been celebrated his centenary, although it has been absolutely forgotten, I think.
Greetings.

Thank you, Yoda. I've added Karl Amadeus Hartmann's name. Never mind your English ... it's fine. Don't let that detract you from participating here. We're delighted you have come aboard.
