A Moment of Calm

For two hours Jamie explores classical music that lets us escape into a world of our own.

For two hours Jamie explores classical music that lets us escape into a world of our own, with specially chosen longer sequences of music to encourage us to just stop and listen for a while. Amongst the well-known classics like Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending or Debussy鈥檚 Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune, there are gems by Tomas Ades, music for strings by Florence Price and Rebecca Dale鈥檚 鈥楻equiem For My Mother鈥�.
