Thread Name: Folklore: Amazing Grace. Should We Be Singing it??
Subject: RE: Folklore: Amazing Grace. Should We Be Singing
Many Jews that I know won't listen to Wagner because he was an anti-semite, and his music became hitler's favorite. I have no great love for Wagnerian opera, but the music, I believe, stands on its own. I have no doubt that many of the world's historically great works of art and architecture were produced with the labor of people working under virtually slave-like conditions. Should we reject their obvious beauty?
