89. And I Love Her by The Beatles

Sat Dec 1, 2012, 06:11 PM

Dec 2012

it was my and my husband's song when we dated in college.

The Star Wars theme: favorite movies. I clearly remember going to the movies on New Year's Eve (a popular tradition in Italy) as a kid and watch The Empire Strikes Back.

The Indiana Jones theme: same as above. And it is also a sweet reminder of my husband. He wanted to be an archaeologist and his last name is Jones.

La Boheme: my favorite opera. In particular "Che Gelida Manina" and "O Soave Fanciulla" which to me are pure poetry, not just musically but poetically. It helps that I can understand the language. I have the Mirella Freni/Luciano Pavarotti recording of it, with Von Karajan conducting. That music is very powerful for me.

Lots of Mozart's works are also powerful to me - His symphonies numbers 40 and 25 in particular.
