By that I mean pulls on the heart strings. Punsters get punished, Wiga! Back to top

Listen for that changeover at 2.50. If I ever get to see The Northern Lights (as in the video), that music will be playing. But,  another example here of Mike's ability to switch the mood,  just like that - like turning on a switch. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Wiga, I see what you mean about Aurora. But for some reason, whenever I listen to the whole piece, I think first of Profofiev and then of  "The Doge's Palace". Perhaps it's the similar contrast of a quick, jerky rhythm with a short melodic refrain. I saw the aurora in Norway some years ago. It was visible at dawn, and was in patches rather than the usual shape you associate with auroras. It was as though there were oil-slicks in the sky! This was in Trondheim; I never saw the aurora anywhere else. Back to top

It's visible from southern New Zealand, but apparently the Kiwis don't notice it. For one reason or another...   Back to top
