A dear friend asked me to play her down the aisle with this masterpiece from Pride and Prejudice by Dario Marianelli - just over one minute of music, but each note speaks uniquely, and I hope I've done it some semblance of justice.

I expect that Aus media *will* cover Silksong—but in the way culture writing happens in 2025. SatPaper will do a review. ABC will do a detailed feature cut to 800 words for news. The Guardian, a profile and syndicated review. That's probably it, because that is all that is possible anywhere anymore.
