The ice skating was fun. Good music for high-speed ice skating includes the second allegro from Bach’s Concerto No. 2 in Am, BWV 593, which is a Vivaldi concerto for two violins that Bach stole borrowed and reworked for organ, and geBORGt’s “Stausong” and “Alea Iacta Est,” since anything sung reasonably rapidly in German is good go-fast music.

I also now have 1.6 kg of chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate covered hazelnuts, and just plain chocolate. I got the volume discount for buying lots at once!

Then better hope that you'll get lots of new clothes (one size more than you wear now) for christmas - I fear you'll need them... *ggg*

Oh, and the song... I LOVE "In spite of all", it fits so well with one of my role playing characters (even though he was invented much after that song was written)

Well, the ice skating and the walking all over the city help dissipate the energy in the chocolate.

"In Spite of All" Hmm *twiddles iPod* Oh, that one! I love that one. Maybe I'm biased by the man's part in the recording matching my singing range so nicely, but I really like it.

Recording this one was so much fun! Sabine, who sings the part of the elf who fell in love with the human, told us that the elves should sing their parts in a "biting" voice. So we practised and practised until Bine was contented - and the rest of us hoarse. :)

*scratches head* Looks like "Past Life's Temptation" and "In Spite of All" have their titles interchanged on my iPod. I'll have to fix that. Well, I like them both... You got the biting voices, yes. It really works for the song.

I always wonder how these elf and human in love songs will seem to me in a decade or two...

Curiouser and curiouser, the track titles match those printed on the CD liner, which doesn't match what's actually on the CD.

They have - it's a printing error on the cover of the CD, I think.
I love them both, but I thought of the song with the elves (the "real" In Spite Of All). My role playing character Fynn (a little human thief) comes into this elven settlement together with his lifebonded, the elf Mhiriyel (a character of [livejournal.com profile] aryana_filker and thinks that everybody there hates him (which isn't true, but he feels like it... *g*
