My apologies for not posting, earlier in the day, YourClassical's
free download of the day.
We continue to see free pieces on the theme of "autumn." Today's
freebie is in keeping with that.
Today's
freebie comes from the (William) Alwyn album
Orchestral Music. We can get the piece
Autumn Legend, a nearly 11 minute piece,
free from the album.
The music on the album is performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of David Lloyd-Jones as the conductor. Rachel Pankhurst is on the english [sic] horn.
To find out more about the entire album, including the
free piece, go
here. If you wish to download the piece, go
here and look for the link "Direct MP3 download link." You'll know what to do next.
Now, I'd like to make a social/political statement. While it's turning fall (autumn) in the northern hemisphere, it is turning spring in the southern hemisphere. Yet, "all" that we see on the Internet are references to the coming of fall! It seems kinda unfair, don't you think? I think that I know the reason, though. According to
WolframAlpha, the population of the northern hemisphere is 6.57 billion people. The population of the southern hemisphere is "only" 1.09 billion people, less than 1/6 of the population of the northern hemisphere. So, the way that I look at it is that things on the Internet in this regard are really just being democratic.
