Episode 390: Moonlight

7/10/2016

Picture
Every few decades the first full moon in June, the Strawberry Moon, falls on the Summer Solstice.  Before 2016, 1967's "Summer of Love" was the last time it happened. Astronomers and Astrologers aren't the only ones who notice. Composers love to create tone poems in which the moon is the subject. Wind & Rhythm honors Earth's moon and the wonder it imbues.
