“Now the woods put forth their blossoms, and the year puts on its bright attire.”
So wrote the Roman poet, Virgil, some 2000 years ago.
In other words--as one humorist put it more recently--“Spring is nature's way of saying, ‘Let's party!’”
In the next hour, a celebration of the season with music of Morley, Vivaldi, Schumann, Debussy, Sibelius, Orff, and Strauss.
