Published: June 6, 2015, 8 p.m.

From Stravinsky\u2019s famous In Memoriam: Dylan Thomas to Hindemith\u2019s Trauermusik,   composers have long written their most personal and moving music as a   tribute to a friend or great figure they admired.  We\u2019ll remember   several great personalities with musical tributes by modern day   composers.
