This music brings me tears every time when I listen to it.
The death of Jane Seymour, the only wife of Henry VIII’s received a Queen’s funeral.
I’m an atheist, but chorals, cathedrals and churches make me feel peaceful. Chorals, you don’t have to understand what they’re singing, you just enjoy the melody.
The love between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

I like the smile when Anne turns back and leaves. It shows Henry is a fool king and she wins.
I like it because Anne knows to fight back, but it makes my cry every time I see this scene. Why did Anne need to suffer like this? And before why did Catherine of Aragon need to suffer? Why is it always women’s fault?

When Hollywood actress Natalie Portman dramatically portrayed a stick thin ballerina with an eating disorder in the film Black Swan, she provoked fury over her fictional account.
Now the new artistic director of English National Ballet has confirmed the drama reflects the painful reality for many dancers.
Tamara Rojo, widely considered the best female dancer in Britain, will begin the job next week and says she wants to stamp out anorexia in ballet.
She said: ‘Audiences want to see beautiful and healthy-looking dancers yet there is still that pressure to be thin.
‘Some comes from the fashion world and that in turn affects ballet. When you are in a ballet company, you often lose perspective of reality. So you go for extremes in order to stand out and be noticed.’
Miss Rojo, 37, who was born in Canada to Spanish parents continues: ‘But I have preached and will continue to preach. I have never been thin and I want for myself and for . . .
First of all, congrats to Tamara Rojo, a principle dancer of Royal Opera Ballet, named Artistic Director of English National Ballet in 16 April 2012! More pictures: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/theatre/dance/9200763/Tamara-Rojos-ballet-roles-in-pictures.html
I’m very glad I’ve seen her dance when she was invited to perform with my dearest ballet teachers’ production of the ballet event, International Ballet Star Gala in Taipei, in my country, Taiwan. She’s stunning, lovely and so down to earth!!!
And speaking of “too thin” issue, my favourite, my goddess ballerina, Svetlana Zakharova has the same problem, she is way way too thin, no, skinny! I think she’s even way thinner after she gave birth to a baby. I wish she could put a bit weight on though. But whatever, she’s forever my favourite ballerina!!!

Hmm, I personally prefer Lang Lang and Marc’s version. They put more emotion in this piece. Beautiful!
