Happy Finals Week, Errrrbody.

Studying tonight has put me in a Wagner sort of mood...why? Beats me, but it's been a while since I had any time with Richard (Wagner that is) so, I popped in disk 2 of my Overtures & Preludes album (the better disk; it's got the Ring cycle stuff on it) and sat back to enjoy.

Well, I don't know how I did it, but somehow I managed to forget that the second track on that CD, the Prelude to Act 1 from Parsifal is the prettiest song EVER. Every time I hear it, I want to frolick with puppies, or fall asleep in a meadow, or maybe even fall asleep in a meadow full of frolicking puppies. Anywhom, if you care for orchestral music at all, you should give it a listen sometime. It's 12 minutes of delicious romantic period goodness.
















You know, now that I think of it, I listened to this CD a lot freshman year. In a lot of ways, I was a better student back then. Then again, that's largely due to the fact that I was blissfully unemployed at the time. C'est la vie.
