Today we bring you a collection of music often with regal and ceremonial connections, and largely (but not entirely) with a British flavour. Opening with William Walton's Prelude for Orchestra: Granada, written to open broadcasts from Granada Television "from the North" in earlier times, we then take you on a celebration of impressive and stately music from the likes of Elgar, Holst, Bliss, Boyce, Handel, Arne and Rameau. Well, it's not all regal: you'll hear, for example, Elgar's Nursery Suite, conducted by the composer in an historic recording, along with one or two other surprises.
Today's programme is presented by Elrik Merlin and produced by gullar sahir in conjunction with our friends at the Alexandrian Free Library Consortium of Second Life.
