Rolling Out The Day

26 Ramadhan 1433

The extended weekend we enjoyed recently gave me a chance to visit a local CD store and reward myself, for no very good reason, with a number of musical offerings, prominent amongst which was a full set of Haydn's London Symphonies. I'm now wondering why on earth I'd never bought the full set before. Heretical as it may sound, I reckon there's more sheer pleasure in these corkers than in Ludwig's phenomenal nine, though since we're privileged to have both sets this is a non-issue.

Anyway, I've just been listening to the Drum Roll at the end of a packed day and the experience sort of unpacked said day in a most satisfactory manner. If the idea of civilisation means anything, it means this.
