Getting work done while trying to not to cry during Adagio's crescendo ;(
This music is beautiful and moving. I love the way it builds and builds. It is particularly intense from approx 5:00 to 7:00. It is especially breathtaking at 6:40 to 7:00. If you don't like the words on the video - just close your eyes and let the music speak to you. I'm jamming the Adagio, not the Desiderata. This is longer than a lot of jams but it is worth a listen.

Haunting.
Three days of national mourning in Serbia, for the people killed in the heaviest rainfall in the Balkan regions since records began 120 years ago.
Following days of heavy rainfall, causing rivers to burst their banks and triggering hundreds of landslides, many people died in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia.
Adagio for Strings has been voted the saddest piece of classical music ever composed.
