Programme 16 description: about Music: The Art of Listening: Structure in Music Part 1 – Song

--:--
Today’s programme is a repeat of the music of last week, by request.
But! Also included by request is a much expanded commentary on the composers’ intentions and how these are expressed in the songs.
I compare four songs frequently sung in church and compare how they are perceived by the congregation.
We hear two songs from 1540 and 1975 and find out in which way these two are remarkably similar.
