I call this day of the month "Super Tuesday," because the freebies from all of the providers are offered on, or close to, this day. Classical-music.com's newest
free weekly download has been posted. It is '
There is Sweet Music,' by composer Edward Elgar.
Unfortunately, I am going to be limited in how much information that I can give you. When I was clearing my cache and doing some other cleaning up on my browser, in order to try to get the Naxos download to work, I must have cleaned up too much, because the user names and passwords that were automatically filled in for me on websites no longer appear. And I don't see anywhere on the log in webpage an "if you forgot your username or password, click here" kind of thing. I'm going to have to work on that later. Arrghh!
Anyway, here is the blurb for the Classical-music.com
freebie:
This week's free download is 'There is Sweet Music', the first of Four Part Songs by Edward Elgar, performed by Tenebrae and conducted by Nigel Short. The recording was Choral and Song Choice in the Christmas issue of BBC Music Magazine.
'Tenebrae sings with delicate sentience,' writes Terry Blain, 'the pulse and phrasing of the musical lines determined by a refined attention to words and meaning.'
I remember that to get the
freebie you have to have signed up to get them. Then, to get a particular download, you must be logged in. For this week's
freebie, go to
this webpage. There should be a red button (I think that it says "Download") that is superimposed on the thumbnail image of the album cover. Click on it, and you're on your way.
I'm almost certain that the download is an MP3.
I can barely make out, from the thumbnail image that I mentioned above, that the title of the album is
Music of the Spheres - Past Songs of the British Isles.
