I've just written a short article for the Heritage Journal, about a personal association of a 'megalithic event' with a piece of music:
That was a nice wee article in the Guardian , good to see that somebody stoill listens to Bruckner . I noticed you mentioned Bryan Magee ,Gordon , what a great bloke and writer ,although I draw the line at Wagner but can't stand "celtic " music which is so often used by producers when looking for some aural honey on the ears ,the other dislike is bombastic sub Stravinsky with it's woooo somebody is going to be sacrificed . Cage's 4' 33'' is ideal for me . http://heritageaction.wordpress.com/2010/01/06/a-soundtrack-for-the-sun/
Prompted, I should admit, by a recent feature, by Tom Service, in the Guardian:

This can't therefore be only my own oddity ;) Does anyone else have music that is wedded in their own minds with specific monuments, or moments, perhaps, at the same??
