Yes ... but for the havens ..... it isn't unmitigated grief and sadness ....which is why the Canon works nicely because there is that sense of positive resolution .... parting is devastating ... but they are going to the blessed realm ... something sad and cathartic but not despairing ..... tchaikovsky ballet music was teh first cassetes I got but I haven't listened for years ... must check that out.....
