I always ensured a seat on the &#8220;alps side&#8221; of the plane because of the magnificent view of the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>At around that time I had been to see the National Theatre&#8217;s marvellous production of &#8220;The Mysteries&#8221; at the Lyceum Theatre and the recording of the music was part of my regular &#8220;playlist&#8221; &#8211; well before anyone had invented the word playlist&#8230;.. On one trip as the Alps came into view this song started playing &#8211; and on future trips I made sure the same happened&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>This music came at the end of The Nativity &#8211; it is perhaps a bit early for a Christmas Carol, but I&#8217;ve always associated this recording with the magnificence of creation.<\/p>\n<h5 align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QFFbROpTeUs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shepherds Arise<\/a><\/h5>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"video-wrapper\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QFFbROpTeUs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s music evokes a specific memory &#8211; but not a specific place, unless you count the inside of a plane \ud83d\ude03<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[85,104,105,114],"class_list":["post-1377","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music","tag-folk-music","tag-popular","tag-religious","tag-vocal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1377","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1377"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1377\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1381,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1377\/revisions\/1381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1377"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1377"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systemsthink.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1377"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
