I’m under orders from my wife and from my editor: rest! Get well.
That’s what I’ve tried to do today. It’s raining, but a break in the weather allowed me to have a cigar. And then we settled down to watch Babe.
The musical theme in Babe is an adaptation of Symphony No. 3 by Camille Saint-Saens, sung here by the Libera Boys Choir. It never, never fails to move me. We have the lyrics for you in the video. They’re in Latin, but you might find it surprisingly easy to understand.
And the movie itself is genuinely inspiring. I feel better for having watched it.
Yes, there’s a reason why GOOD MUSIC is good for the human soul! (And it’s NOT modern music!)
We have our own copy of “Babe” because we love the movie so much – and the music score really ads to it.
Sure beats the heck out of unimaginative R&B played on synthetic instruments, which is what passes for music, these days. Even the Grand Old Opry has become all but unlistenable.
Thanks for another great song.
