    A light-hearted thread....

    I was wondering whether we could play the word association game. With pieces of choral music.

    I'll start: Blessed city, heavenly Salem. I'm sure there are lots of things you can do with that.

    Witches!
    Bit obscure but it always makes me think of them!

      I was actually hoping that we could do it using only pieces of music.....
      so would you mind changing that to the Witches' Sabbath from Symphonie Fantastique?

          I'm not certain I have the rules right (sacred choral music?), but my 'association' would be ---

          Dum transisset (sabbatum)

            Silent (dum(b)) Night
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              Berlioz: Les Nuits d'Ete. (Well, at least it's vocal.)

                      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                          Turn Back, O Man, Forswear thy Foolish Ways - Holst

                          afterthought - good hymn for a wedding?

                              Combining mangerton's thought about the Holst being good for a wedding with Ofca's suggestion:

                              The Wise and Foolish Virgins - Martinu (it is opera thus choral!)
