On Saturday I went out to a concert – the Sydney Symphony playing Carmina Burana – and so got home late. I wanted to get up early on Sunday to go photograph the sunrise (best time of year for it right now), but I was tired. So I decided not to set the alarm, but if I happened to wake up before 5:30, I’d get up and go out.
I slept solidly and when I woke up it was still dark. I turned to look at the clock… and it said 5:29.
So I got up and drove to Mona Vale, which is possibly my favourite beach and ocean baths for sunrises. It wasn’t a great sunrise, but I think it turned out to be worth it.
Which are your favorite numbers from Carmina?
Mine are Fortune Plango and the section from Circa Mea Pectora up through Veni, Veni, Venias.
I don’t really know, I haven’t listened the full piece all that much. I like all of it!
