Day 10. A song that makes you fall asleep

Morton Feldman - Rothko Chapel


I discovered this piece (the first of several parts) about a month ago looking at the upcoming season of the San Francisco Symphony. They are performing it in February on a concert with the Mozart Requiem. Interesting choice for a symphony concert since it involves only a few musicians (other than a chorus): solo viola, celeste, and percussion.

Nice piece. We'll see if it works for insomnia - it's 3:30 A.M. as I post this. I suddenly woke up after four hours of sleep. It occasionally happens to me.
