I like classical music, not Wagner or Liszt please.
Right now listening to a Piano Trio by Lou Harrison, a 20th Century Modern Composer.
His music has balinese and 3rd world influences and many modal effects, like Jewish music.
Much classical music is uplifting, invigorating, and intellectually stimulating.
Much music can lift the spirits and help one to serve H’ with joy.(even other types of rhythmic music can help one physically and mentally.)
As far as vocal music, I must admit that I do enjoy opera.
Being female, it’s less of a problem for me than it would be for some very strictly observant men.
Also, some of the librettos (stories) are not especially appropriate but even there one can find a moral lesson often enough.
Look at Otello, one could say that it’s a horrible story about a man getting jealous and killing his wife.
I try to find something positive about them but for some there is no redeeming factor and it’s best to avoid or just listen without understanding what they are saying.
