I live on the South Downs and am often accompanied on my ramblings by a skylark singing it’s heart out as it ascends higher and higher into the sky. There is nothing so glorious as, like this morning at 5.30 when I and the dog have the world to ourselves, the sun is up, the sky is that pellucid blue you get in early morning and the skylark is awake.
That music is so evocative of those mornings and the world at its peaceful best.
Yes, just so, tho its at the top of a moor in the High Peaks where I recall it. My favourite Vaughan Williams is "Theme on Thomas Tallis" (have shortened the title).
But my list of favourite music is too eclectic to define and top ten choices vary week to week.
However I wasn't brought up (I played the cello as child/teenager) knowing Early Music and the Early music show (R3, Sundays) is a must listen.
And recently discovered this amazing counter tenor... just for a haunting flavour....
