The Lark Ascending - Ralph Vaughan Williams
Summer is here! Beauty and Joy! Be grumpy no more! This music breathes resurrection: sorrow filled with the promise of ecstasy!
Waking or asleep,
Thou of death must deem
Things more true and deep
Than we mortals dream,
Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?
- P. B. Shelley: To a Skylark

Glorious and profound words on the sublime Mozart by the greatest living composer of sacred music in the West. A fountain of beauty for thirsty hearts!
