Snapey music for the month of October
will try to post one a day...unless, like Luna's career as a quidditch announcer, it doesn't work out...
(you can't really hear the music beneath the film audio in the above fan-made video, so I am posting the two songs separately so that they can stand on their own)
Two Steps From Hell - Heart of Courage
Broken Iris - A New Hope

Thank you for posting these. I do like all kinds of music. If I wasn't dealing with chronic migraines, I think I would take out my violin and try learning it again.
Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata" (1st movement)
to me, this is the quintessential ''Severus Snape'' autumn mood.
Brahms 3rd Symphony (3rd movement)
This is an old recording...recorded, in fact, on Lily Evans' birthday(!) -- January 30, 1960 -- one of Columbia's early classical recordings in stereo. I think that's such a cool coincidence.
Anyhow, I chose this version before I realized the connection to Lily--just because when it comes to powerful, moody slow movements, I think Bruno Walter is one of the best. He's not flashy, and he's no showman. But that's partly why I like him : )
My head-soundtrack for Severus and Lily playing together at magic & wizardry when they were children
