Tonight I am going to hear the Nelson Mass performed in Temple Church

Beautiful music written by a German ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช who was living in fear of conquest by the French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท and then write the final exultant chorus at the end of the Benedictus in the euphoria of hearing that the Frog navy had been crushed in Egypt by a British hero ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง.

Then I am going out to eat cicchetti ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and drink Italian wine in Covent Garden.

This is in no way a political post, I was merely reflecting on what a nice evening itโ€™s going to be.
