SORM Playlist #14-19: Light As A Feather
(airing the week starting 05-07-14)
Recently a friend remarked while I had produced some great instrument-focused programs I had never put one together featuring the flute. This week we’ll travel the world and listen to the flute in its many settings from the penny whistle in Celtic music, the quills and cane flute in traditional blues and the transverse flute heard in many styles of music including jazz and rock music. Music that’s Light as a Feather.
