re: #107 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Earworms - term is used to apply to certain Christmas songs that have been played so much that they sit on the brain without end (and I’ve got plenty of those lined up for the future…)

Serious (“classical”) music has a few of those, pieces that stick in the mind and won’t leave.

For me it was “Alla Hornpipe” from Handel’s “Water Music.”

I used it as the Groom’s March for my first wedding.

Strangely, since my first wife dumped me on the street, it is no longer an earworm to me.

Our wedding was the first held in the little Presbyterian church in Bartow, Fla. in over ten years. The organist, who was classically-trained, lit up when I suggested that tune. (I imagine endless Presbyterian hymns were not exactly a challenge for her.)
