Much as I adore English/British music, somehow this morning it does not seem appropriate.
I started my day in defiance, with Shostakovich 5 and 9.
I'm now needing more consoling and differently uplifting music, and have plumped for Copland's Appalachian Spring and, more specifically, the coupling on the CD I'm playing: The tender land suite, with its 'The promise of living'. It can make me well up at the best of times, so in this worst of times I know I'll need my tissues handy.
What are you choosing to play today?
