There is always a sense of renewal about Spring and that the shackles of a past life or past problems can be broken, and from it springs new hope and new reasons for being. I think [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon will understand what i mean. I have thus searched this out from You Tube after listening to a Radio 4 programme last night. It is by Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Springtime of The Year.



Conducted by Paul Brough, the BBC Singers celebrate the arrival of Spring with Vaughan Williams' arrangement of English folk song The Springtime Of The Year

He is also one of my favourite English composers and hence here is a second slice , a masterpiece, from this pastoral composer - Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis.



Enjoy.
