I like this post very much. The most obvious choice that sprang to mind was the Hebrides Overture (Fingal's Cave) by Mendelssohn to remind me of the ferry crossing to Mull and Iona back in 2007. Should I ever make it to Callanish this will be my internal music. Fingal's Cave On less dramatic note - The Lark Ascending by Vaughn Williams for walking to hilly places around Avebury on a sunny, spring morning. Last weekend I made it to a couple of long barrows in the Cotswolds and that evening with my meal listened to In Gloucestshire (String Quartet No 3) by Herbert Howells. atb tj Reply | with quote |  6th January 2010ce 19:08 In reply to: Music for Megaliths (gjrk) |
