Air on a G String... one of the most gorgeous pieces ever.

I tried writing a melody line over the Prelude in C Minor in college when I was studying it. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.

I was hoping to find the Edmonton Orchestra playing on U Tube. That was before I realized that the In Held was this enormous thing. I had never heard it.

I'm a big fan of J Bach, I just wasn't overly impressed with the way it was used in Whiter Shade of Pale.
'In Held Twas In I', not only is the music exceptional but where else do you find lyrics like...

In the darkness of the night, only occasionally relieved by glimpses of Nirvana as seen through other people's windows, wallowing in a morass of self-despair made only more painful by the knowledge that all I am is of my own making ...
When everything around me, even the kitchen ceiling, has collapsed and crumbled without warning. And I am left, standing alive and well, looking up and wondering why and wherefore.
At a time like this, which exists maybe only for me, but is nonetheless real, if I can communicate, and in the telling and the bearing of my soul anything is gained, even though the words which I use are pretentious and make you cringe with embarrassment, let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama.
