  1. Listening to Francis Poulenc's O Magnum Mysterium, from 4 Motets pour le temps de Noël, FP 152. It's ethereally beautiful and more than a little spooky.

    I've performed it in choirs in my singing days. There are few feelings quite so naked and vulnerable as a performer than when the sopranos float in out of nowhere to make their entrance on a high F -- and later in the song on a high G.
