So instead of the usual Pink Floyd, Rush, Cars, Madonna, Depeche Mode, and so forth that we'd get (and that you'd read about if this were a MySpace-cloned "Check the first 10 random songs in your music library" meme), we've been listening to (among many others):
Finlandia, by Jean Sibelius
Lohengrin: Prelude to Part 3, by Richard Wagner
The Four Seasons: Autumn, and Winter, by Antonio Vivaldi
The Firebird Suite, by Igor Stravinsky
Rhapsody in Blue, by George Gershwin
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, by Wolfgang Mozart
Orpheus in the Underworld: Overture, by Jacques Offenbach
"Emperor" Concerto, by Ludwig van Beethoven
Mlada: Procession of the Nobles, by Bedřich Smetana
Don Giovanni: Overture, by Wolfgang Mozart
It's been fun playing "What's that tune" with those that I know well and seeing how fast I could get those, and see for how many of the others I can at least guess the composer. (Nailing "Don Giovanni" just from hearing it all the times I've watched Amadeus, and getting "Rhapsody in Blue" in one note have been the high points of that.) It's also been fun to discuss with
In short, good times. (I'm mostly feeling better, too, thank goodness.)
