Music to read by

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

Bach's "Art Of Fugue", any version---all versions, all versions all at once---sprinkle in viol consorts playing suites by slightly lesser masters---Byrd, Dowland, Purcell. Espicially Dowland, perhaps a few of his songs:

"In darkness let me dwell,
the ground shall sorrow be;
The roof dedpair to bar all cheerful light from me;
The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep;
My music hellish jarring sounds to banish freindly sleep.
Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb,
O let me living, living die, til death do come.

 "Throw in "On Land". Stir about a quart of Kirsch into your favorite hot toddy while reading your battered and underlined copy of "49".  Stand back as all hell breaks loose.
