成人快手

This week芒聙聶s Words and Music is devoted to the season Emily Dickinson described as the time when the sky is low and the clouds are mean: winter.

With this you芒聙聶ll hear Peter Maxwell Davies芒聙聶 芒聙聵At the lochan芒聙聶 from his 芒聙聵Seven Songs 成人快手芒聙聶, the series of songs which tell the story of children in the Orkneys making their way home from school on a winter芒聙聶s afternoon.

The memory of winter past is heard in David Hartnett芒聙聶s 芒聙聵Two winters芒聙聶 in which a man, now a parent himself, remembers his father shovelling snow outside his childhood home, a time in which he dreamed that the snow fell for years 芒聙聵and the ray of stars like birds芒聙聶 feet flecked the white芒聙聶. Winters in California and Tangiers are evoked by the poets Karl Shapiro and Sarah Maguire 芒聙聯 in one the pink camellias line the paths, in the other 芒聙聵hibiscus blooms burn, scarlet, cerise, tangerine芒聙聶. The programme ends with Robert Frost芒聙聶s 芒聙聵Stopping by woods on a snowy evening芒聙聶 and Wayne Barlow芒聙聶s rhapsody for oboe and strings inspired by Appalachian folk songs, 芒聙聵Winter芒聙聶s Passed芒聙聶.
