Finally giving in and joining in with Helen’s Monday posts over the past few weeks, because I couldn’t resist any longer. I went hunting for a few of my own favourites; here’s one for today: the first movement of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater.
And along with that, because Anna’s got into the music from The Piano by Michael Nyman recently: The heart asks pleasure first. Have borrowed the soundtrack CD from Steve’s parents, so Anna and I spent a happy hour knitting and listening to it together earlier tonight. Must re-watch the film sometime soon too.
ooh, i love both of yours.
oh, you linked to me 2ce btw, rather than to the pergolesi
oops! sorting it out now.
I think if I had to choose I’d take ‘Big my secret’ over ‘The heart asks pleasure first’, but I like them both.
Sounds fab to me
i think i have loads of mondays to come! i am choosing fairly randomly – i might have listend to it, or thought about it over weekend. obviously, things i love to listen too, but not done in a top 10. don’t know where i would start! was happiest with dives and lazarus. always in top 10.
the pergolesi may well hit my list sometime, as might the nyman!
That Pergolesi music was mentioned in the book I’ve just read (Bareback by Kit Whitfield – very good – you’re obviously not allowed to read it though Sar!
) – might have to actually listen to it …
