Sunday Fugue State

Fugue (fūg):
1. A musical composition in which a short melody or phrase  is introduced by a single part or instrument and is successively taken up by additional instruments and developed by interweaving the parts.

2. A pathological state of altered consciousness in which an individual may act and wander around as though conscious though their behavior is not consciously directed.

Sarah has been walking around in a fugue state all day, and only just realized that the tune she’s been humming under her breath all day is from Bach’s Little Fugue in G-minor.

I won’t lie—my favorite fugue is actually a nap.

But this one comes close.

And again, with full orchestra and shivers around :54 and 3:04
