Thirty minutes of uninterrupted music including theatre music from 16th-century Florence and movie music by Michael Nyman.

'Summer's a pleasant time' - Robert Burns's song forms the centrepiece of tonight's Mixtape, with connections stretching via Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony to a folk song from northern Bengal, the Wingates Brass Band and the complete Rustic Concerto by Vivaldi, 3 movements in 3 minutes. Emilio de Cavalieri's music for the Florentine Intermedii is the grand climax.
