Argyris
Head-Fi's third most long-winded poster.
A search turned up a few threads about this, but most of them started pushing up the daisies over four years ago. I figured instead of necromancing, I'd begin afresh.
Lately I've found myself listening a great deal to "In Paradisum" from the Faure Requiem. I often fall asleep listening to it--a "lullaby of death" indeed. I'm particularly enamored with the Jeremy Summerly/Schola Cantorum of Oxford recording on Naxos.
Somewhere along the line I decided that, when I'm dead, this is the piece I want played (or performed).
I know it's kind of morbid, but I'm sure some of you have paid a passing thought to this. So I ask you, which song/piece would you like played when you make like Polly the Parrot? It could be anything, and it certainly doesn't have to be "purpose-written" like the Faure Requiem.
