For Charleston, here's an offering from Mozart.
The story, apocryphal or not, is that the despondent genius returned to his room and this sublime sonata emerged from his despair.
Here's praying that, out of the "awful grace of God," something equally divine emerges from Charleston's and our nation's anguish.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Sonata for Piano and Violin in E minor K. 304 (2nd movement):

Happy Father's Day, and God bless our country.
