Music for your death....

I glanced down the thread list just now and thought this thread was called: "Music for your Teeth".

I learned as a kid that the best "music for your teeth" is when you accidentally chew a mouthful of that old-fashioned foil-covered gum wrapping together with your Wrigleys.

Man, does that ever make your teeth "sing"!

That (the foil-covered gum) or chalk across a blackboard !!

But music for my death? One piece I wouldn't mind hearing as I lie on my deathbed, agonizing: Beethoven String Quartet Op. 132, 3rd movement, Molto Adagio, A convalescent's hymn of thanksgiving, in the Lydian mode.

That makes two of us then

Oh. My choice of music will depend largely upon just how acute is the cause of death. If I am conscious, in my own bed, surrounded by family, pets, and neighbors with nowhere to go, nothing to do then I'd go for Walküre Act III - from Wotan's Farewell to the end (I have no plans to linger).

Something more traumatic and acute in nature, well then Prokofiev's Lt. Kijé Suite.

Crikey, DB, you'd certainly like to make a grande sortie !! No Bruckner? No Bruckner codas e.g. 1st movement and Finale to the IVth, ditto Vth, VIIth and VIIIth, first movement of the IXth?

But as I posted before for my own agony, I'd like to go out thinking I was on the road to recovery. On my gravestone will be the words (copying a British comic) :
Here lies Don Quijote. I told you I didn't feel well !!

Maybe Faure's "Pavane"... It's so tender and touches my soul every time I listen to it...
