We sow the seeds of love in Sussex, waltz in Scotland before resting a while with JS Bach. Following A Night on the Bare Mountain, we head to Italy, and Naples.
We begin by Sowing the Seeds of Love with a Sussex folk-song from George Butterworth, travel to Scotland for a waltz from Malcolm Arnold and rest a while with a contemplative Bach Prelude and Fugue before spending A Night on the Bare Mountain, courtesy of Modest Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov. In the light of the morning, we head to Italy for a tarantella, an Italian-styled czardas and finally our travels end in Naples.
