PS: Hey Jay, for being a light on an otherwise dim newsgroup, here is a gift
for you ... "Red Wing" by Slim Whittaker. Yes, you would not think so, but
he does it perfectly, yodeling and all. It is less than 2 minutes. I have
got 51 versions of this song, so you can trust me on this. You should easily
be able to get it via LimeWire (FrostWire is even better in my opinion).

Folk song (Jerry Bryant) for Ed to bring back memories of crossing the
equator for the first time:

P.S. Thanks to Sheldon for posting - RIP.

A very nice sea chantey indeed, but I require musical instruments as well.
When it come to folk music, I am not a purist. I suspect the tune is of
Irish origin like all good folk music. The closest I ever got to the equator
in my 4 years in the Navy was Morocco.

Sheldon Brown was a strange character to me. I cannot fathom how anyone
could concentrate like he did on cycling and all its trivia. Still I must
admit he was a valuable resource when you really wanted to know something.

My favorite Bryant folk/sea song - almost makes me want to go out and
row. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rdqQxlx9hI. The studio version is
even better, with (strangely appropriate) tuba accompaniment.

P.S. The song is based on real events:

I find Va Pensiero more moving and approprate for thye summits of
great passes such as the Gross Glockner, Gavia, and Stelvio:

My favorite Joe Green is Elisabeth Schwartzkopf singing Libera Me from
the Manzoni Requiem (first Carlo Maria Giulini recording on EMI/HMV). To
bad her husband let the recording engineer set the gain too high, so
there is tape overload in some places.

I am not a great fan of ballads unless the melody is quite beautiful. Most
of them go on way too long because they think they have to tell a complete
story. I prefer folk dance music with as little vocals as possible.

Have you ever been on the ocean? It is the dullest place in the world. Even
a seashore bores me after a few hours.
I am a land lubber who loves to hike in the mountains and the deserts of our
country. The American Southwest is the land that I love the most. Death
Valley National Park is like heaven to me!

I have a Telarc version of the Verdi Requiem (Shaw/Atlanta Symphony)
where the opening drum strikes practically knock you out of your seat.
Telarc's typical sonic showcase -- for better or worse.

I know the Verdi Requiem is regarded as a great piece of music, loved
by all, etc., but I think it is bloated and a little over the top.
Call me crazy. I much prefer the Ein Deutsches Requiem, but then I am
almost Lutheran (Episcopalian married to Lutheran), so that figures.

I'm guessing the Shaw/Atlanta Berlioz Requiem is your favorite?

Gawdamighty, how could I not like it? It's full employment for
trumpet players. As Hillary Clinton said, "It takes a village to sing
a requiem" -- or maybe a small city. It is the musical version of the
economic stimulus package. -- Jay Beattie.

Then you enjoy Bach cantatas?

Here is a good piece of liturgical music on a small scale.

Gioacchino Rossini
Petite Messe Solennelle
pour 4 solistes, chœur, 2 pianos, & harmonium.

The Michel Corboz (1989) performance is recommended.
