I didn't mean it personally but I just find it really difficult to listen to even though the singing is beautiful I am sure  ;D

Ju Ju - sorry, I really should be getting back to the subject of this thread, but if you like choirs and singing, you might like this (I've just listened to it.) 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxCGFPEx2Ks
It's a video of the Berlioz Te Deum, with choirs of a thousand (so to speak!) and the most fantastic sound!
See what you think!

Wow! Thank you, Dulciana. I listened to  the beginning, but will save it till tomorrow and listen with better speakers. I am not yet up to the standard required for choirs like these, though maybe with time and practice, I could aspire to this. Music like this touches your soul.

My sleep is disturbed recently by: very busy, involved, long dreams during which I cry out and wake DH  ::) as well as by deep burning pain in left thigh  >:(

I used to enjoy going to bed and sleeping. I enjoyed my dreams. It was like living 2 lives. Now I worry whether I will have a good night's sleep and pains and discomforts seep into my dreams. I have even dreamt I was dying. Horrid.

I know this is off topic again, I have been to concerts with choirs that lift your soul, one I will always remember was a  Royal‎ Liverpool

Philharmonic Orchestra Christmas Concert, I think you have to be there for the soul stirring stuff.

Has anyone heard of The Sixteen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcWo1hKHu40

This will touch your soul too.

Don't think so Taz I always had busy dreams.  Very vivid.  Usually about wolves  ::) . now my brain picks up something from the News, something I've overheard, draws out a person not spoken to for years and mixes it all up.  I was dreaming about David Beckham last week, he knew me by name  :o and we were in a very posh Hotel foyer with a wide stair case: think Gone with the Wind : but he wasn't fazed and I thought, in my dream, 'he must be *so* used to all this' ........... then he was calling me a Black Cab and giving me tickets to a 'do' but didn't get there 'cos the Cab got stuck in traffic  >:(

Silverlady - I absolutely love Allegri's Miserere!  And the Sixteen are terrific.  Oh, it must be lovely to be able to sing...............................

I used to be able to sing until I had 2 lots of surgery in 2 weeks which altered my vocal chords  ::) - now I can croak in tune  :D

Slept well last night.  Still weary though, my head never seems to get enoughsleep  ::)

It's rotten, isn't it, not getting enough sleep?  In the summer, the hot nights trigger hot sweats & flushes; then in the winter, things like brushed cotton sheets are normally so comforting and cosy but - then we get hot and they trigger hot sweats and flushes!  Honestly, sometimes I think we can't win!
