In the meantime we’ll be re-broadcasting a few programmes from Series 2, starting with Serenity Valley (S02E08). While “WYB” includes quite a few time-related items like gallery exhibitions and places based around the time of year, there are some places we’ve visited which are longer-term in scope and we’ll be revisiting a few of them in the show’s regular timeslots of 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Historically, the term ‘classical music’ refers specifically to the musical period from 1750 to 1820. The transition from the classical period of Western art music, which lasted around 1750 to 1820, to Romantic music, which lasted around 1815 to 1910, took place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Composers began transitioning their compositional and melodic techniques into a new musical form which became known as the Romantic Era or Romanticism due to the implementation of lyrical melodies as opposed to the linear compositional style of Classical music.
