Do jwfaners have any music (scores, or other music) that they prefer to be seasonal? Do you ever play "Winter music"? I say Winter, but not necessarilly Christmas music. Some music can be played at any time of the year, and while I really do enjoy playing "Setting The Trap", or Handel's "Messiah" in July, they both have an extra resonance when played in December. IMO, some music lends itself to being played in Winter, rather than another time of the year. It just seems "right" in Winter. Scores such as "Batman Returns", "King Of Kings", and "Sabrina" all get wheeled-out at my gaff around the 15/12. Other "Winter artistes"/music would include Jonanna Newsom (especially "Ys"), Tori Amos (especially "Under The Pink"), "The Soul Cages", by Sting, and works by Emily Barker, Rebekka Karijord, The Blue Nile, Peter Hamill ("Over"), and "...and then there were three...", by Genesis. It might be just me, but these sparse works - either sonically, or thematically - lend themselves to being listened-to in Winter. Anyone else feel this way?
