Early Delights

A Sunday hour with early music goodies. The longest day of the year should be celebrated with summer music. Besides Vivaldi with his Four Seasons, there were other composers in the Baroque period who let summer sound in their music. Today you’ll hear music by three Frenchmen and an Englishman.
