If you could do with some uplifting music, pause your day for a few minutes and listen to this piece, Seek him that maketh the seven stars, by Jonathan Dove. A word for those in a hurry - it does take its time to build and for its shape to become apparent, so stay with it and you'll be glad you did. For those who like to know a bit about structure, you can read a brief analysis by composer Phillip Cooke.

Another musical offering, but just words this time: Stephen Hough wonders, would Rachmaninov enjoy Twitter?
Beautiful - thank you! I haven't sung a lot of Dove's music but have enjoyed what there's been, especially A Song of Joys (Last Night of the Proms 2010).

Thank you. Listened to your suggestion and Rosie's. Very soothing whilst ironing. Everything now smoothed out - sheets and mind!
