So it turns out, most of the heart-wrenching pieces of Classical music about mothers were written in response to mothers\u2019 deaths. Depressing for Mother\u2019s Day, I know. But, beautiful and inspired music, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Below, we present a list of Classical Music, some happy, most sad, inspired by composers and librettists\u2019 appreciation of and love for mothers.<\/p>\n

Songs My Mother Taught Me \u2014 Zigeuner Lieder \u2014Antonin Dvorak<\/h3>\n

Composed by Antonin Dvorak in 1880, \u201cSongs My Mother Taught Me\u201d alternates between major and minor with lilting, melancholy motifs. The text sings of tears at the loss of a mother, but hope in that now the child can teach their own children the songs their mother taught them. Oft-performed by singers as well as violinists and cellists, Anna Netrebko sings it particularly poignantly.<\/p>\n
