A little late now, but Stephen Dankner’s “Hurricane” would be a good one. Recorded by Louisiana Philharmonic, I think on Albany.

“Rock You Like a Hurricane” on repeat

To follow-up, I’ve just enjoyed:

Davd Lang: Evening Morning Day from “The Little Match Girl Passion”

Bach: Minuet-Trio from Brandenburg Concerto no. 1 (the trio is probably one of my favorite moments in all the Brandenburgs)

Shostakovich: String Quartet no. 12, movt. 2

Beethoven: Funermal March from the “Eroica” Symphony

(my soundtrack isn’t exactly an upper)

I don’t really have a playlist, but here are some notably ominous tracks that have popped up on my iPod as it has been shuffling the last few hours (in order of appearance):

Berlioz – Introitus to the “Requiem”

Bernard Rands – …where the murmurs die…

Milton Babbitt – my ends are my beginnings

Pink Floyd – Us and Them

Black Sabbath – Into the Void

(to be continued…)
