seid umschlungen, Millionen
Oct. 9th, 2002 07:54 pmYes, I'm still at work at 8pm. I wanted to stay late to get some stuff done since it looks like I probably won't come in tomorrow -- going into Boston to take the "Jeopardy" test (whee!).
So I've actually gotten some stuff done, and I'm at a good stopping point ... but I can't leave! I'm listening to Beethoven's 9th and they're just getting to the good part!
I swear I get chills every time, when I hear that one part, where the altos start on "seid umschlungen" and the sopranos come in with "Freude schoener Gotterfunken, tochter aus Elysium" in counterpoint. Chills up my spine, dude. Seriously. I so love that part. There's no auditory-orgasm like a Beethoven auditory-orgasm.
Alle Menschen verden Bruder... if only.
Three more minutes and I can go home.
