Milk and Honey

Derived from Israeli folk music and dance, the show's book is by Don Appell with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. The underlying thread of the story is the fierce love Israeli pioneers have for their new freedom in the Promised Land, as it reveals two touching romances: one is between a mature American widow in Israel as a tourist and a retired American businessman visiting his married daughter.

Mostly Music Series: Debussy
A crucial figure in the transition to the modern era in Western music, Claude Debussy remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. He was the most prominent figure in developing "impressionistic" music, although he intensely disliked the term when applied to his own music, which often reflected the activities and turbulence in his life in French literary circles.
