Music for the changing seasons
Episode m0000nlg, broadcast at Tuesday 9th October 2018, 7:00pm.
“A specially curated musical journey across the seasons. The eclectic music mix begins with Autumnal tracks by Haydn and Fanny Mendelssohn, shivers in icy Winter chills from Purcell and Vaughan Williams, joyously thaws into Spring with Copland and Eric Coates, basks in the intense heat of Summer with Vivaldi, and leaves the bittersweet scent of the Last Rose of Summer in the air. The perfect way to usher in your evening.”
