It’s interesting VK. Clement has a powerful voice and I like the musical background to his talk. Thanks for sharing.

When I sit in the library and work, in the book shelves behind me are the shelves — actually the beginning of the Dewey Decimal system so Philosophy books and a bunch of computer programming books as well as directories of all sorts of things.

So I ran across a book titled, “The 1,000 musical pieces you need to hear before you die”. Provocative title, eh?

So I decided to use their recommendations and find the music they recommended on YouTube, and I think I could find 90% of the tunes I searched.

So I download 10 tunes. And the best one in the lot, IMHO, an adaptation of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by Bach.

Now the first 50 seconds is the original Bach, but then the composer/pianist Gabriela Montero begins a charming variation of the work.

Curious if it pleases you too.

Please me, it did.
There are a number of classical tunes which are enjoyed.
After all these years, still remember seeing this film as a child.
Not only the music, but the visuals were enthralling. LOL, my introduction to the classics.

AVE MARIA (Fantasia)
Tip: Stay focused for the next track, "Night on Bald Mountain"
