Pick Music for this Module

Dear Users: Click on the number for each of the musical selections below, listening to each one at a time, to determine which might be the best selection to attach to the cover of this lesson on Sonnet 116.  Consider the style of the music, its mood, which instruments are used, perhaps. Your reasoning might include which phrases from the poem you think of while listening to the selection you prefer.

If your answer is "none of these," suggest what sort of music would match the mood or sentiments of this sonnet. (Note: The time in parentheses on the play list is playing time.  It should take less than 10 seconds for your copy of Real Player to open and begin playing a selection.  Recommended minimum modem speed is at least 28.8 kps.)
