Just once, I’d like to be in a large public space where a surprise “flash mob” but of musicmaking happens. And if it happened to be one of the ensembles of our armed forces, I think I’d burst into tears on the spot.

Tchaikovsky, Suite from The Nutcracker

This is one of those pieces of music which carries a very strict association with a time and place for me. In my case, it’s to my college years: we played this on all four orchestral Christmas concerts in which I was a part.
