Episode 798, The Magic Number

The number three is considered magical because it's the smallest number that can create a pattern, and it's associated with completion, wisdom and harmony. On this episode of Wind & Rhythm, we explore three "magical" tertiary compositions, each with three movements of their own. Join us here, at the gathering place for people who love band music.
