Non-English music? Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Monteverdi, R. Strauss, J. Strauss, Verdi, Debussy, Ravel, Arvo Part, Josquin, Palestrina, Schubert, Schumann, Grieg, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Bruckner, Handel, Haydn, Cherubini.

That should give you several thousand hours of non-English music! And that's a far from inclusive list too, plenty more where that came from! They've got songs, operas, choral music, you name it!

Here's a short little gem from Schubert from his Winterreise song cycle (translation below also)

A friendly light dances before me,
I followed it this way and that;
I follow it eagerly and watch its course
As it lures the wanderer onward.

Ah! one that is wretched as I
Yields himself gladly to such cunning,
That portrays, beyond ice, night, and horror,
A bright warm house.
And inside, a loving soul. -
Ah, my only victory is in delusion!

A great hit dance song, but the lyrics are serious; about the tragedy of AIDS, discrimination and death.

Plethyn and Siwsan George are Welsh artists whom I love.
