I also often play Classical Music (i.e.  Symphonies and Operas), and also
prefer to "start it" interactively (I use the Command Line "play" Command,
found in the sox Package), but then let it fill my alarm, while the Power
Save actions (Display to Sleep, and system Locked, in case I have
visitors).  And then, when the Piece ends, I unlock the Display and,
perhaps play something else.

So this *has* to be Configurable.
