Pachabel's canon in D major always makes me weepk in a good way, no matter the instruments playing. I first heard it in high school, 1981, and still do not understand its powerful effect on my affect. Thank you for this version. I hope some musicologists can comment on the Pacabel effect.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
