Most, although not all, of my Friday choices have been of relatively positive\/happy music. Today’s is less cheerful.<\/p>\n

This counts as one of my earliest introductions to classical music as it was one of the set works that I studied at school for my music exams. It was also the ‘earliest’ chronologically as Purcell was the ‘oldest’ composer that we studied.<\/p>\n
So I learned all about a Ground Bass \ud83d\ude03<\/p>\n
This version is a very recent recording – another covid-version – and it appeared in my feed just before Christmas – I immediately earmarked it as a future share – taking me back to my school days.<\/p>\n
We only studied in depth about a handful of pieces (some of which I have previously shared) but I am grateful for the fact that our school had a great music department – with a varied collection of recordings which we, as music students, could listen to in our free time. There is no doubt that this environment widened my musical appreciation.<\/p>\n
