Spots in Time

Bach Suite (excerpt)

Urban Flute is not just about flute adventures, as you might have noticed. It’s also about ambient city soundscapes, concert adventures of all description, as well as chance encounters with street musicians, as offered here.

Wordsworth called his restorative forays into nature ’spots in time’. These experiences offered him solace long after the fact, as he found even the recollection of a walk by a stream, sitting under a tree, etc, was effective in alleviating the ‘evil’ urban stresses of big city life in the 1800’s!

I like to think that my posts - with or without flute - offer a similiar kind of relief from the everyday pace of our modern age.
