If I had to pick one piece of music that would be my ultimate favorite, it would come down to Mozart’s Requiem, since I’ve sang that as a tenor in a choir before, or The Inner Light by Jay Chattaway for the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode of the same name. I recently bought a tin whistle in the key of D, which was the instrument used for the recording of The Inner Light, even though the instrument shown in the episode is called a Ressikan Flute. Ressika is a fictional planet introduced in that episode and while there are some replicas of the flute around that actually play, the one in the episode did not. I’m going to attempt to learn the tin whistle as I have time and attempt to play this song. Here’s hoping I don’t sound horrible!
