I usually have to  

repeat
the first track
                       a few times
The Fireworks Music

  the
fast section
         of the overture
               makes me
glad
to be alive


  The scherzo from
Messiaen 's
Turangalila
Symphony
   for the
sheer joy
of making the most
extraordinary
noise


   only being able                
to listen to
one piece
of music
 is probably         
the worst form of
torture






a lot of
my favourite pieces
   are actually
rather
sad

I would need
some
encouragement
to get up
     in the morning








     it would be important
  to have a piece which
celebrates
  the visceral
energy
of life














The music on this page is part of Cum Sancto Spiritu from J S Bach's Epiphany Mass, played by the Gabrieli Consort and Players on DG Archiv 457 631 2
