Three Albums

Friday, 14. March 2008, 23:52:27

I've been tagged by Star to do one of these
list type things. Normally I don't go in for
that type of thing, but Star has been such a
good sport coming here through the months
and paying me a visit that I want to join in with
her on this one -- with a few modifications.

The assignment was to list your top 3 favorite
albums and your top 3 favorite songs from each
of those albums. For the ones I've picked, naming
my favorite songs didn't seem quite so important.

Except for the Courante. Of that one, I will put
a few things down for the record.

So here they are:

Ah, the Courante of the D minor suite. To me, it is
the ultimate. Over the course of my ill-health since
2005, this movement has come to mean so much to me.
In fact, by the Spring of 2007, when I felt that my
time was pretty much coming to a close, it was the
ONLY music I listened to. It carries both a joy and
a sadness to it -- so all of a piece -- that it seems
to just lift me out from this tiny world and all its
sadnesses and tragedies and into the distant stars and
nebulae. With it, I dance in synch -- step step stop/
step step stop -- with the universe.

If you want to listen to it, it's at the top of my
blog in the P.M.P.I. Theme post.

So there ya go, Star. And thanks.
