Did you ever see his Lewis & Clark story? That had wonderful music too. More great music in a Masterpiece Theater presentation several years ago: The Choir. Thank God for music!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-28378591915694117572008-07-20T08:24:00.000-04:002008-07-20T08:24:00.000-04:00The Messiah does me in every time...maybe it's goo...The Messiah does me in every time...maybe it's good I only listen to it in public once a year!

Vaughn Williams' Lark Ascending is one of them.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-70454373726028173952008-07-14T13:37:00.000-04:002008-07-14T13:37:00.000-04:00I've occasionally murdered Ashokan in my basement....I've occasionally murdered Ashokan in my basement.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-44128375961680509632008-07-14T12:52:00.000-04:002008-07-14T12:52:00.000-04:00Good choices, Donna.

The husband plays the music from The Tales of Hoffman and turns the speaker toward the window so that his wife can hear it. The love that that man showed for his family brings me to tears just thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>I was reading about grief the other day and the writer was speaking about how certain melodies or words of songs can bring tears at moments when you thing "you're over it." (Believe me, you're never over it.) My husband had a booming bass voice. Whenever we sing "Wonderful Grace of Jesus" or "It is Well With my Soul," my daughter melts in tears.<BR/><BR/>Click on my first link on my blog today...A Mark on My Wall. Vicki has a post along these lines.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-70511110402276356042008-07-14T08:59:00.000-04:002008-07-14T08:59:00.000-04:00So many, so many.

Always sends chills through me and makes my eyes moist just as it did the first time I heard it.<BR/><BR/>There is a drawback to such sweet music. It can be performed only by the perfect voice. There should be a law prohibiting voices of lesser quality from performing my favorite. In those cases, it send chills of another kind before I can reach the remote and turn them off.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.com
