Today
is the twelfth, and in twelve more days it will be Midsummmer’s Day. In
preparation for that, I offer these twelve pieces of music, either ancient or
ageless, whose cadences (dreamlike or merry) seem fit to tread a measure to at
such a time. There are pieces from The Lord of the Rings, Excalibur,
Restoration, Shakespeare in Love, Amadeus, and Rob Roy, with performances by Kitaro, Dead Can Dance, The Chieftains, Loreena McKennitt, and Simon and Garfunkel.
Listen and dream.
