Oh, what deep joy!!!!
Last night, after a superb dinner cooked by my husband, we watched my favourite film, The Shawshank Redemption again, and the music played by Andy Dufresne in this scene has all the inmates spellbound, understandably.
Here's an uninterrupted version with some "astronomical oddities", which I think you'll like, Martin!

Thanks, Jayne. A great movie and wonderful astromomical images in the second link. I especially love the picture of the aurora borialis with the Milky Way in the background. I've seen many of those Hubble Space Telescope images, by the way. But it was nice to see them again.

I'd hate to be so miserable that this cheered me up, Allen! It's elevator music  (You're kidding, right?)

I live in an elevator building. I’ve observed that all sorts of things follow YouTube selections, and disavow any and all. No, I wasn’t kidding. Our tastes in music may differ. I like many things.

I'd take the stairs...
(Sorry, Allen, I shouldn't knock your choice, if you find that kind of music uplifting. We do have different tastes, it appears.)

It’s not sublime. It’s not even grand. Least of all is it Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto or Copeland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man” (about the only piece by Copeland that I do like), or anything from Ravel’s “Daphnis and Chloe” ballet, or is it the ending music about the Great Gate at Kiev in Ravel’s orchestration of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” (my sign-off at one of the radio stations where I announced), but I think it is pleasant. Here’s a link to something else:
