Flora and Fauna

Not surprisingly, the natural world is a never-ending source of fascination and inspiration for composers. From the datura plant in southern China to a rare bird in the wilds  of Australia to strange animals that exist only in the composer’s  imagination, we’ll feature music inspired by the boundless creativity of  nature.
