I never listen to music when I am writing. It would be impossible. I listen to Bach in the mornings, mostly choral music also some Handel, mostly songs and arias I like Schubert's and Beethoven's chamber music and Sibelius' symphonies for opera, I listen to Mozart and in recent years Wagner.

Patrick Watson

I'm not a great deductive thinker, but I will admit to having competence in a very wide range of things - not being afraid to try to write about baseball, choral music and dinosaurs in the same week and see connections among them.

Oh, I am all for singing. If I had had children I should have hounded them into choirs & choral societies, and if they weren't good enough for that, I would have sent them out, to sing in the streets.
