Oh I LOVE the suggestion about the Dido and Aeneas story being a dig at
Anthony over Cleopatra, that is just SO good. That just made my day.
It just reminded me of the most amazing, transport-me-to-another-universe
music that would be a perfect warmup for students who are even a tiny bit
receptive to classical music - Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, the Kirsten
Flagstaad - Elizabeth Schwartzkopf (excuse spelling) recording. Play them
'When I am Laid in Earth'. Guaranteed to melt the hardest heart. If you
haven't heard it, go listen to it!
this webpage has an audio file, I don't know if it works though as my
computer wouldn't load it:
