We only played the part for orchestra. There are only 6 notes in it. 
(Which, incidentally, is 1 note more than the Enya song that started 
this thread...)

I'm partial to "Book of Days", but I would love to hear the Gaelic 
version of it (I've only heard the English version).

There's a reason it served as the inflection point in the movie "Equilibrium".

Huh, I remember it was the first movement of the symphony.  BTW, that 
movie is a Matrix wannabe... :P

Well, yes, I think that's right. And given the record player, it probably 
wasn't the whole symphony. (I guess "Ode to Joy" is just the last movement, 
then, yes?)

>  BTW, that movie is a Matrix wannabe... :P

That's why I rented it. The box said "like the Matrix!" and I figured that 
would mean it's awful enough to be worth renting, while it actually turned 
out to be one of my favorite movies.
