Subject: RE: BS: Gender-neutral Love Songs
Well, thinking laterally ( which according to my better half is about the closest I come to actual thought), quite a few requiems are love songs. I'm thinkinng of the very tender pieces of music, full of longing ,and love
The best example of the type is probably the Brams Requiem, whose original title was 'a human requiem' I have never heard any other piece of music that moved me so.
