Summer, Father's Day, Festivals, it's a great time of year!

 

The first official day of Summer is June 21st. That's only a few days away! Yes, we have had our fair share of rain, but it's still Spring, so let's remain hopeful that the dog days of summer are still to arrive, SOON!

I will do my best to conjure up some hot weather by playing an hour of Sumer music, like this:

 

Prokofiev: Summer Day

 

 

I have never been to Scotland, but I have always loved the music from and inspired by the country. There are some fantastic works by Classical composers based on Scottish folk songs, that are NOT by Max Bruch. For example:

Grainger: Scotch Strathspey & Reel

 

 

One more appetizer before the meal tomorrow, I don't want to spoil your appetite:

how about this string quartet!

 

We are going to have some fun, so join me between noon-6:00 on The Wide World of Classical Music
