Elgar's "Jupiter" theme from "Planets" is another.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if anybody's studied whether there's a cultural connection. Would a Kalahari bushman be moved by Mozart? Or would that be as strange to him as his music is to us?<BR/><BR/>If that turns out to be the case, then perhaps it's what we grow up with. And if that's the case, I weep for the next generation of kids, whose parents grew up on tuneless, thumping rap - what I call loud brutish music. Even there, I stretch the use of "music" to include things singularly unmusical.ZZMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16913899667726940233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11168555.post-10905525055415412182007-01-12T23:05:00.000-05:002007-01-12T23:05:00.000-05:00Any chance you might show a link with a few mp3 sn...Any chance you might show a link with a few mp3 snippets of yer stuff?
