What a day. It seemed as though everyone was trying to cram Monday into today, just to make sure they got their money’s worth.
I find a remedy to moments like these is listening to Arvo Part. (Incidentally, there should be an umlat over the ‘a’ in part but I’m too exhausted to try to find that key. So in Margauxville, it’s just Arvo Part, sans umlat.) “Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten” is exactly what I need right now.
I promise you it’s exactly what you need right now too. I would never leave you astray. After all, we have so much in common.
I need to step away from the computer now. Ideally I’d write an insightful or mildly interesting blurb about the importance of Arto Part and how I love the bridge between classical and sacred music. Or maybe I’d tell you that for some reason every September 11th I realize it’s his birthday and how that seems oddly fitting. But I’m too tired. Maybe I’ll do it another day. Another day when I’m not too burnt out to look for the umlat key.
Until then, enjoy the next Arvo Part-filled 5 minutes. Ahhh.
