“Take time out with a soundscape of classical music including Eric Coates's overture The Merrymakers, Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu in C sharp minor which inspired the song "I'm always chasing rainbows" and the lilting waltz from Bernstein's Divertimento. Also in the mix are Byrd's Vigilate for 5 voices, Bach's "Awake, we are called by the voice of the watchmen" arranged for solo organ, a minuet for strings by Mozart and Rachel Portman's music for the film 'Emma'.
