"...he was deeply interested in the problems of Bilbao bankers, the history of piracy, the painting of Orozco, the modern French theatre, the jurisprudential features of Mafia administration, the disease of cattle, the works of Yeats, the ramblings of the Bible, the novels of Joyce Cary, the lordliness of doctors, the psychology of bullfighters, the ethnic choices of Arabs, the origin of trade winds, and very nearly anything else contained in any of the books which he paid to have selected at random by a stranger in a bookstore on Market Street and shipped to him wherever he happened to be."

Sound familiar...?

My Music Nodes

I have been involved in several choirs and singing groups, and have enjoyed learning and performing the music tremendously. I'm trying to share my enjoyment of Choral Music by noding some of my favourite pieces. I do this by listening to a recording over and over, with the score open in front of me. I try to describe what I hear and what it means as best I can, without using too much musicological jargon (mainly because I don't know much). I hope I can convey something of the music in a purley text form.

So far, I've done five works in some detail-

• A Sea Symphony
• Ceremony of Carols
• Rejoice in the Lamb
• Bach Magnificat
• Carmina Burana (In parts; Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi , Primo Vere, Uf Dem Anger, In Taberna, Cour D'Amours, and Blanziflor et Helena)

Next, I might try-

• Bach Mass in B minor (thanks Kurin!)
• Verdi Requiem
• Mozart Requiem
• Mozart Vespers
• Monteverdi Vespers
• Dark Side of the Moon
• Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of the War of the Worlds
• The Ballad of Little Musgrave
• {YOUR SUGGESTION HERE}

Tom Lehrer

Tom Lehrer is great. I sent him a letter asking his permission to node his songs here on e2- and he said yes!
