Classical music to inspire you
Orchestral music by Brahms and Eric Coates, fire-themed pieces by Debussy and Stravinsky separated by the tranquility of Arvo P盲rt, and the driving rhythms of Alfonso and Adams.
We begin with orchestral music by Brahms and Eric Coates. There are two lively fire-themed pieces by Debussy and Stravinsky, separated by the tranquility of Arvo P盲rt, and we end with the driving rhythms of music by 13th-century monarch and composer Alfonso X and the contemporary American composer John Adams.
