Show Notes
Hannah French continues her series of programmes associated with the ancient Greek concept of the four elements - symbolic forces that inspired Renaissance and Baroque composers with the essences of creation out of chaos: earth, water, fire, and today air.
Today's programme focuses on all things to do with the air and the wind, with music by Bach, Rameau, Monteverdi, Boyce, Marenzio, Rebel, Palestrina, Handel, Lully and Hildegard of Bingen.
