O Fortuna

Finishing the little elephant quilt feels like a real achievement with Carl Orff's Carmina Burana playing in the background.

I deserved that dramatic soundtrack. Yesterday I worked on a couple of chapters of the current novel and got a lot done in the studio.

Here's a live version of O Fortuna, introduced in French. I've always loved this magnificent piece, and it's even better watching the violinists plucking at their strings, the guy banging the huge drum, and the choir stretching their mouths around the notes.
