That's beautiful.<br /><br />The difficulty is being confronted with these sounds when our guard is down, when we're in public, or trying to operate in a professional capacity. I hope the list doesn't grow too long.<br /><br />As it happens, my choral society will be performing Mahler's 2nd symphony in May. That has no associations for me - yet.Bbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989307876421460920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075874513240872047.post-16988629137992252772012-04-14T07:51:38.539-07:002012-04-14T07:51:38.539-07:00Hey Dermot,

And btw, "Jupiter" was one of my early favorites too, and still is--the whole Suite, actually, but that one in particular. As an adult I've thought of it sometimes as music for a Bear God, lordly and portly and jovial while strides among the other planets.Dirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652710339222473915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075874513240872047.post-83910525464804116692012-04-13T03:09:47.506-07:002012-04-13T03:09:47.506-07:00Hi Dermot,

Those types should be banned, but who would know?<br />It is quite interesting how music can bring back time periods and events.<br />Thanks for following on my blog. Though my giveaway was over earlier this month, I'm following back on your blog. My dh and I live in the woods too. Makes for a lovely life.<br />Coleen, an American in UkraineColeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468346475920474062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075874513240872047.post-65598654627973473942012-04-05T03:37:53.812-07:002012-04-05T03:37:53.812-07:00Sounds like a perfect music list.
