Celtic Moods
Today’s programme takes a look at the expansion of Celtic music and themes into several different genres of music.
Here we are featuring musicians and music that start from the Celtic tradition and take it forward into other realms, from Joanie Madden to Mendelssohn to Geraldo and his Orchestra; from thunderously spectacular orchestral arrangements (you’ll hear several of those today) in the wake of Riverdance, to inspiring music for a small Celtic ensemble and organ, played in the largest Gothic space in the world.

Folk Music from the British Isles: Spell Songs II
Today, Weds December 15, we present a programme of folk music from the British Isles (well nearly — there are a couple of North American artists in there if truth be told), covering the last 50 years or so.
In particular, we are celebrating the new album from Spell Songs, “Spell Songs II — Let The Light In” by playing a track every hour.
Spell Songs is a musical evolution of both The Lost Words and The Lost Spells books by acclaimed author Robert Macfarlane and award-winning illustrator Jackie Morris; creating a listening experience that intersects music, literature, language and art, as a call to reawaken our love of the wild.
