Many composers have turned to nature for inspiration and this programme reflects some of the finest examples. Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending needs no introduction, even though it has been dislodged from first to second place in the Classic FM Hall of Fame 2023.

The titles given by Beethoven to the movements of the Pastoral Symphony might suggest programmatic music but, as one expects with Beethoven, he was less interested in delightful pictures than the emotions they elicit.

Repertoire:
Delius On Hearing The First Cuckoo In Spring
Delius A Song Before Sunrise
Caroline Shaw And The Swallow
Vaughan Williams The Lark Ascending
Beethoven Symphony No. 6 Pastoral
