Sinopse
Music for Life is a music-appreciation and music-history based program that explores the purpose and value of music to humanitys enrichment. Hosted by Ryan Malone, each episode of Music for Life surveys the history of music, introduces its major composers and plays examples from the standard repertoire. The selections played highlight each episodes particular theme. Along the way, the discussion is usually interspersed with three segments. These segments explore each episodes theme further. The segment Sounds of Scripture surveys the biblical records many references to music giving a longer-sweeping historical perspective on the episodes main theme, and giving insight into what ancient music was like. The segment Classroom Corner explores different methods and curricula for introducing young people to music. And in the segment Backstage Banter, Mr. Malone interviews performers on the concert circuit today for their perspectives on music. Finally, each episode will end with what Mr. Malone calls musical dessert, where he plays an example from the popular or folk tradition, or something of lighter fare musically as relates to the episodes main theme to end the show.
