Episode m001p2jh, broadcast at Friday 4th August 2023, 7:00pm.
“Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music including the scherzo from Borodin's Second String Quartet which inspired the popular song "Baubles, Bangles and Beads", a dance from William Grant Still's American Suite and Sally Beamish's Seafarers concerto for fiddle, Scottish lever harp and strings. Along the way there's also an Albinoni concerto played on trumpet, a romance for clarinet by Finzi, Mozart's soprano aria "Exsultate, jubilate" and Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" on piano. Producer: Ian Wallington”
