Sadly, I know nothing about classical music. I do, however, enjoy listening to Klaus Nomi..
On his "best of" cd their is the following song which I totally love, called on his record, The Cold Song:
What power art thou, who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting snow?

Far unfit to bear the bitter cold,
I can scarcely move or draw my breath?
Let me, let me freeze again to death.

Any knowers?
ps: Here's a good
