Have a great day, everyone.
The first part of my day has been spent racing to meet yet another deadline (and losing, of course, but my editors are used to it). Now I sit here, drinking my tea and watching the snowfall, awaiting the imminent blizzard and lazily thinking of music to suit the storm.
Julius Fucik, “Winterstürme”

Richard Wagner, Die Walkure: Act I, “Winterstürme”
Franz Liszt, Transcendental Etudes: “Chasse-neige”
Prokofiev, Alexander Nevsky: Battle on the Ice
Vaughan Williams, Symphony No. 7 “Sinfonia Antarctica”

Henry Purcell, King Arthur: Song of the Cold Genius (but why the shorts?)
Any other ideas?
