Light On Dark Water

I mean literally little: the brief Romance in Cmaj for String Orchestra, of which you can hear a thirty-second sample at the preceding link. This is a very lovely piece which I discovered a month or two ago only because it’s packaged with the 2nd Symphony. (I bought this “disk” as mp3s but am slightly compulsive about getting the complete album.)

I often like to have a little musical nightcap at bedtime, and this is perfect: tranquil and sweet, but substantial. Usually I find the sort of short piece that’s just there to fill out a cd to be forgettable, but not this one.

Another recent find suitable for the same occasion: the 2nd movement of Mozart’s first string quintet.
