Mercoledi Musicale - All Hallows' Eve

And what could be more appropriate for All Hallows' Eve than the Lyke-Wake Dirge as eerily - dare I say creepily? -  sung by Buffy Sainte-Marie in a setting by Benjamin Britten - two names I never thought I'd type in the same sentence.



31 October - 1917: World War I: Battle of Beersheba – "last successful cavalry charge in history".
