Ah here we go again - I was brought up to think zithers and dulcimers and cembalons were all hit (and as the part in Vienna Woods is clearly plucked you can understand why I believed it to be a Mandolin).
And now I learn that Zithers are plucked.
Please excuse me whilst I try to selotape my world together.

If we ever meet up again I'll try to remember to bring mine along and you can have a good old pluck. It isn't as nice as this one though.  Back on topic: at the moment, these things: Haydn - "Paris" Symphonies (Harnoncourt) Hans-Joachim Hespos - kaleidoskopes luftsilberMonteverdi - L'Orfeo (La Venexiana) Anthony Braxton - Six Compositions (GTM) 2001CPE Bach - viola da gamba sonatas (Friederike Heumann) Actually all the music I love gives me a lift. If I allow myself to listen properly. |

You must have missed my zither thread, Tommo. http://r3ok.myforum365.com/index.php?topic=1645.msg54519#msg54519There's a link to Anton Karas playing The Third Man theme in my second post. |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

I don't know which member in particular was ignoring your PMs, AtTL, but it does strike me in passing that there's another not a million miles away for whom that picture might also have a passing relevance....
Not sure who you mean Ron, (french frank?) but have found another of my old French rustique ones.  |

Must be lots of music which gives me a lift but just three i can of think of at the moment Academic Festival Overture - Brahms Ancient Airs and Dances - Respighi - most of it imo Schumanns Rhenish Symphony especially the joyous last movement

Schumanns Rhenish Symphony especially the joyous last movement Absolutely, offbeat! I listened to this on the iPod (Gardiner) as I walked through the water meadows yesterday afternoon. There's something gloriously autumnal about it, full of sunshine. |

Tcha! How could I have forgotten Ancient Airs and Dances? Also the Moderato from Concerto Grosso No.2 - Handel.
Cantus Arcticus holds me spellbound. Not quite the same as a "lift" but .....

Haven't heard anything by Haydn yet that hasn't managed it. Telemann is also a good bet. And, well, the best of Graupner seldom fails to raise the corners of the mouth a bit. Sorry to be back on my hobby horse though...  |

I would agree almost on Haydn, but I don't seem to be lifted by the 7 last words from the cross.
And is "Best of Graupner" the title of your next album, Ollie?

This thread has given me serious cause for thought. Is it the lugubrious Scot in my family line (had to think carefully about phrasing there - Lugubrious Scott, great-uncle. Scot in my genes? not the hairy, bearded sort! I am very particular about who gets into my jeans) that makes it difficult for me to identify music that lifts my mood? I have actually been known to dance to "A man alone" from The Ipcress File. (Still waiting to see the opera), and sometimes I listen to Just to change my mood. We have a new "Dogloo" on the back porch. The dogs will stand in the rain rather than go inside. I know my place.  |

Bach, Jauchzet, frohlocket (Christmas Oratorio), lots of Haydn; Britten, The Driving Boy and quite a few other bits of Spring Symphony.

An impulse buy. Barbara Cook's new album, "No One Is Alone" on the drg label. She must be near the 80 mark but her voice remains fresh and can she handle a lyric. Accompanied by a trio; Eric Stern, MD/piano, John Beal, bass, and Jack Cavari. guitars; she brings vitality and sheer zest to a selection of Sondheim, Bernstein, Styne, Comden-Green, Kern, Hammerstein, Rodgers & Hart - and I'd love to accompany her on 'The Surrey with the Fringe on Top' after such a scintillating performance. If you're troubled by seasonal affective disorder, or simply feeling sad, here is the cure! |
