Title is the song I've been listening to over and over again from "Miss Saigon" it's really potent.
This would be an interesting experiment: have people listen to the finale of the Firebird, "Oh Happy We" from Candide, and Micaela's Aria from Carmen and see which one is more moving to them, the one with no words, the one in English, or the one they can't understand but has words. Personally the firebird is the most moving; I get chills down my spine when it is played at full volume. Creepy. But I love the horn part in Micaela's aria. "Oh, Happy We" makes me happy, but the two lovers aren't listening to each other so it has some tension that never really develops into anything because they are torn apart.
that's it. ttyl!
