In his book, The Four Loves, author C.S. Lewis takes readers on a journey by exploring the nature of love utilizing the four different definitions used by the ancient Greeks:
Agape (charity), Storge (brotherly affection), Philia (friendship), and Eros (sensual).
According to Lewis, Agape is the most perfect form of love. It is that selfless love which God has for man and which man attempts to attain and perfect within himself. Sensual love is more pleasure oriented, needing to be purified in its journey to Agape. The program tonight is entitled “Two Loves.” It is a play on the title of C.S. Lewis’ work and seeks to musically express two of these four loves.
Agape
“We were made for God. Only by being in some respect like Him, only by being a manifestation of His beauty, lovingkindness, wisdom or goodness, has any earthly Beloved excited our love.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Eros
“Eros needs to be disciplined and purified if it is to provide not just fleeting pleasure,
but a certain foretaste of the pinnacle of our existence,
of that beatitude for which our whole being yearns.
-Pope Benedict XVI (from the Encylical Letter Deus Caritas Est)
