I’ve been getting back into classical music. It’s been really fun. Sunday I downloaded two songs off of iTunes. Both of them are from the 2005 movie Pride and Prejudice. The songs are Dawn and Mrs. Darcy. They are both very similar. I am more familiar with Mrs. Darcy because it is a song that my sister frequently plays. I like it when she does because I’m drawn to the room where the music is coming from.
Sunday night I set my iTunes to repeat and listened to these two songs over and over again until I went to bed. I found myself more alive in the morning and was able to wake up faster. The morning went much better, especially for a Monday.
I think it’s really neat the effect that music can have on you. In addition to this I’ve been listening to various songs by Percy Grainger (I played Children’s March in High School and it still gets stuck in my head!) and Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber.
i love that album.
jean-yves thibaudet is brilliant.
