The first part of "In Memoriam" is brooding, even majestic in a solemn way. However (from 8:54), Brian then takes the listener on a more obviously spiritual journey with music that suggests some sort of mystical transcendence. A work of two fascinating and effectively contrasting halves.
@@maxmerry8470 -- OMyGod, Max! You're still running around with MI-5 & Kim Philby....Yes, I watch films and hear music til 3AM, accompanied by wine, cheese, dinner....then can't rouse myself until noon or 1 the next day. Only challenge is to get down to the beach for an hour of sun but the Pacific is rough now....so...Regards to Port Ree!
@@steveegallo3384 I'm a morning listener these days, Stevee. As a youngster, I used to do the late-night sessions but.....very rarely now. Remember, if you come across Edward245100 (code name P. Lock😉) on any other channels you visit, avoid like the plague........
@@maxmerry8470 -- Envious. Even though I have no Pain, getting out of bed takes forever...my worst time, mornings. But by the late afternoon after starting the Wine Ritual, I feel fine again especially now that after a whole year I finally finished Joyce's Ulysses and began "1001 Arabian Nights"! (If I encounter Edward, I shall engage with the enemy in close combat, and vanquish...no concern)

Max Merry -- Marvelous! I'll track down his 30-odd symphonies and report back.....
All-nighter, Stevee???

A thoughtful reflective work.
