"This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly, than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein
(thanks to fellow organist Jan Kraybill for posting this quote on her Facebook page.)
I think the Bernstein quote was in the context of the late 1960's, another troubled time in many respects. For a fuller response from Bernstein to one part of that time, here is a YouTube of his "Kaddish Symphony," written after the assassination of J. F. Kennedy. The Kaddish is the Jewish prayer of mourning.
