Recording Music in Ukraine
British composer, Ralph Vaughn Williams created his Symphony No. 6 in E minor while bombs were falling on London during World War II. In the United States, WWII was a very popular war, most everyone was on-board. U.S. citizens were told this war would end all wars, it would be humanity's last descent into barbarism. That did not turn out so well. That was propaganda and self-deception. We have had many more wars, and added several million more dead bodies to the pile of 40+ million dead bodies of WWII. The reptiles in charge did not seem to notice or care.

Larissa. The Mistress of Large Music. Episode no. 6
EPISODE NO. 6 “THE BRITS” In this episode we will hear music from The Brits. British composers of the late 19th Century, and first half of the 20th Century. Edward Elgar, Ralph von Williams, Cyril Scott, William Walton, and Frederick Delius. British orchestral composers are as different from each other as the atmosphere of Mars, Venus and Jupiter. It is amazing they all lived on one rainy little island in the north Atlantic. In these five composers we again hear the vast variety of music styles available within a symphony orchestra. The only thing similar in their music is the instruments used to play the music.

Larissa, The Mistress of Large Music
Hello music lovers. I'm Larissa. Your Mistress of Large Music. Large music is classical music for full symphony orchestra. Most of us listen small, to country bands, rock bands, or rappers. We only hear large music in movie soundtracks, or way, way in the background, in elevators or Barnes and Noble Bookstores. In elevators and bookstores, the music is not music. It is wallpaper, hardly noticed at all. And that is why I sit here. I sit here to tell you Classical music, and classical orchestral music in particular, is probably the most interesting and diverse music you are ever likely to hear. Many people have not paid attention to Classical music, through no fault of their own. They have simply not thought much about it. My video series can help with that. https://www.charlesrolandberry.com/listen-large
