Gentle Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Following the sad news about the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II we thought we would share with you some some of our favourite pieces of gentle music for contemplation  that you can find on our site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holst. The Planets: 2 Venus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Venus, the Bringer of Peace <\/a>\u00a0from the planet suite by Gustav Holst<\/a>\u00a0is a sensitive and tranquil piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massenet. Thais, Act 2 Meditation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Meditation<\/a> from Thais, Act II by Massenet<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0The opera, set in Egypt, explores a monks confused struggle between lust and religious ardour. This is an exquisite piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satie: Gymnop\u00e9die No.1. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Gymnop\u00e9dies by French composer Erik Satie<\/a> are all gentle and dreamy pieces. The 1st Gymnop\u00e9die<\/a> is the best known.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debussy. Reverie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reverie<\/a>, or A Dream by Claude Debussy.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0This piece is more difficult to play than it looks but comes across as easy and relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chopin. Op.09, No.02 Nocturne   <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Frederic Chopin<\/a> wrote this piece when he was only 20 years old. This is his best known Nocturne<\/a>\u00a0and is simply quite beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elgar. Enigma Variations 09 Nimrod<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 9th of his Enigma Variations, Elgar<\/a> dedicated Nimrod<\/a>\u00a0 to A.J.Jaeger, his great friend and supporter.\u00a0\u00a0This piece is often played at ceremonial occasions so we may well hear it at the upcoming State Funeral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just a few of the gentle pieces of music that we like and have listened to during recent days whilst we contemplate the changes that the passing of Queen Elizabeth II<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
