Naut, Carmina Burana is on my list of music to hear in person...
I have never forgotten the week I attended my first classical concerts: I had a boyfriend my first term in college who appreciated classical music, and got tickets for us to hear the Cleveland Orchestra perform Beethoven's Ninth Symphony-- twice! An incredible, indelible experience!
Must admit, my first exposure to Carmina Burana was in the bits of it borrowed by Basil Polidouris in his soundtrack for the movie, Conan the Barbarian. Now, that is some fine house-cleaning music!

What an interesting question! I had to think about it for a while, and I am still thinking, actually...I know I would want different music for different moods and times...Mozart definitely, and not just his orchestral music, but also for his glorious operas...(I forget who it was that said, 'A day without Mozart is a day without sunshine'...) I love opera anyway - the whole 19th century Italian school...And further back...Telemann, Bach...And how could one not love Handel...and Beethoven, whose Violin Concerto is one of the most glorious pieces of music ever written...it goes on and on...Among later composers Debussy and Saint Saens and Faure, and I really like Orff's Carmina Burana (currently on my MP3 player for workout listening, among many other things). And I love jazz and the earlier rock, but cannot stand heavy metal, country and western, and absolutely detest rap, which ain't music at all, really...
As I said, you got me thinking...

Turlough O'Carolan's music fits right in with the way I picture you. Both magical.
