Sorry, Housemouse, but I find Samuel Barber's work depressing rather than inspiring. If it's got to be the work of 20th century American composers, give me Aaron Copland every time!
Brenden, thank you for that. I recognise all of these pieces, but I'm not expert enough to identify them! They're all lovely to listen to.
housemouse ... your Edith Piaf 'Sous le ciel de Paris' ... about 16 seconds in there's a street scene with some steps and a lampost. I'm sure it's the same scene of a print I've just bought > http://www.easyart.co...Montmartre-45537.html
To-Ryscum, Cavatina John Williams is a particular favourite of mine. I use to listen to him when he belonged to 'sky' Went to see them in fact! Going to listen to it now!
