But to make it a semi-real post, I just found out that Amazon's giving away $3 gift certificates for mp3s! Just check out the Amazon mp3 section - it should show up somewhere - but only this week, since it's for Black Friday.
I got three tracks:
- The Meadow from the New Moon soundtrack - a score excerpt by Alexandre Desplat (though it's actually an arrangement - for some reason, the actual mp3 isn't downloadable).
- Farewell to Lorien - from the Two Towers special edition score - a bonus track from the Fellowship of the Rings Special Extended Edition. I listened to this when I borrowed the special score from the library about six or seven years ago, but I only bought the original score release (which is gorgeous). Now I have the extra one as well!
- Due for Flute and Piano, by Aaron Copland, movement 1. I recently did a semi-presentation on 1950s art music for my Introduction to Cultural Studies class, and listened to some late Copland I'd never heard of before as a result, including this absolutely gorgeous piece. It reminds me of a cross between Appalachian Spring and Fanfare for the Common Man - spare, clear, pastoral, angular, sweet, and utterly beautiful.
