Subject: RE: The most beautiful modern slow air
Just played Ashoken's Farewell from the link above. It's quite a schmaltzy tune in 3/4 time that sounds like lots of others. Can a dance tune be a slow air?

I still prefer Red Kites by John Spiers. It's supposed to be inspired by the birds which have been reintroduced to the Chiltern Hills to give drivers something to watch from M40 traffic jams.

Actually, though, I think it comes from the beer of that name...
