That's easy. Handel's Messiah. All of it. -Mac



I just listened to the 'Hallelujah Chorus of Handel's Messiah. Wow! I'd sort of forgotten about that one. Good call.

there's something fascinating about:

1) the awesome power of nature and our comparative smallness
2) the drama and heroism of a team trying to survive in a hopeless situation
3) being musically projected into someone else's last moments
4) symbolically experiencing the grief of the families left behind

this song has all that



Well said. Another one of my favs that I've not listened to in awhile.
