The Beauty of the Ballad

The beauty of the ballad is that whether through music, words, or visual art it tells a story, usually very personal to the creator. Bach, the Beatles, Esaye, Picasso, Piazzola Carson McCullers, and countless composers, writers, and artists have shared so much of their lives, their loves, their personal experience, and their wisdom through this medium. Here are just a few of my favorites, enjoy!
Mahler Adagietto

Beatles Rocky Raccoon

The Ballad of Beaker

Ysaye Ballade

Picasso Guernica
