Classical music for focus or relaxation
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music by favourites such as Dvorak, Saint-Saens, and Chopin.
Take time out with a 30-minute soundscape of classical music including a mass for peace by Karl Jenkins, a nocturne by Chopin, and a Romanze by Weiner.
Tonight's classical mixtape opens with one of Dvorak's Cyprise for string quartet, an arrangement of his 12 songs from the Cyrpise song cycle. Bruckner brings us calm with one of his haunting graduals for choir, Os justi, gently drawing us in the fourth of Alice Mary Smith's 6 short pieces for piano. From there, Saint-Saens uplifts us with his Symphony in A major, before Jenkins prays for peace with the Benedictus from The Armed Man. Chopin reminds us of the time with his Nocturne in B major, before Leo Weiner shares his indulgent Romanze for cello, harp and string orchestra.
