Episode 415: Inspired by Great Architecture

Why, for centuries, has architecture inspired music? Perhaps it's the common ingredients that make up both: patterns, textures, harmony, balance and scale. Or perhaps it's the overall emotive properties a structure or a composition impart upon and draw out of its audience. This week on Wind & Rhythm we'll explore these links with great music inspired by great architecture.
