Keep your Derry Aire to yourself!
Wordless voice can be such an effective technique in orchestral music, I am surprised it isn't used more often.
Can you say Rotogravure?
I love the old-timey photographs from this series! Doesn't it make you want to say dames, gams, and Rotogravure?!?

Youth Regained
I tend to enjoy the early works of composers more than I should. After all, composers really only get interesting once they break from the mold of influences and burst forth into their own. Right?

Delius in the Fjords
The travels of Delius in his younger days are an interesting time to read about. It is amazing to me how the genesis of inspiration and the cone of influence combine to create a unique artistic expression.
