I suppose being English, I have to fight the mental urge to mentally play the Elgar Cello Sonata with regard to the Shire and specifically Frodo's relationship to it .... it has a very Autumnal feel ..... it is a cliche but it is also still one of my desert island choices and the piece that tuned me in to classical music .....DuPre & Barbarolli .... od course...
I got this recording for my birthday and I love it ... how about " Winter " winter in Rivendell as the fellowship start out?

I fell in love with that bit of Beethoven when I saw the Peter Weir film "Picnic at Hanging Rock" one of those pieces I find so moving I find my self crying when I listen to it.........
Oh what good taste we have
...love Dido's Lament
Only trouble is I think I am doing this the wrong way round and trying to fing scenes for my favourite music rather than vice versa ..... How about Faure's In Paradisum for the grey havens.....
And for some reason I keep hearing Gandalf singing the bass arias from "Messiah" and the Commendatore fom Don Giovanni......
To side track .... no I'll start a new topic...
