1) "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi", Karl Orff. Did that once (modulo dancing in underwear). We'd asked the neighbors three times to turn down the party. It was 3am on a Monday night. The (absent) roommate was an audiophile with a sound system which "went to 11". We decided to return fire, and this is what we used.

2) "Personent Hodie", The York Waits. Shawms at their unbridled best.

3) "This Corrosion", Sisters of Mercy.

4) The ubiquitious salterello on Istampitta! by The New York Renaissance Ensemble.

5) "Bittersweet Symphony", The Verve.

I like seasonal stuff. On May morning, Loreena McKennit's "The Mummers' Dance", Broadside Electric's "Hallantow", the Maggio from the Rough Guide to Italy (Ricardo Testi), etc. Halloween, Dan Fogelberg's "Ghosts", Loreena McKennit's "All Souls Night", etc.

Hey! It's the Days of the Blackbird! Time to crank up "Merla" by Baraban, on the Rough Guide to Italy.
