Relax... Unwound... Let Go... Get Motivated!

When one thinks of the greats of classical music, we may tend to associate those composers with European countries like France, Italy, Russia, Germany, and Austria. However, how can we forget the little country that ruled over many others for years? England, and the United Kingdom in general.
The greats like Handel and Bach were so beloved by the English, that some may even be forgiven for thinking they were indeed English, drawing much inspiration from the fair countryside.

Let’s take a listen to what the English have to offer… And what do you think of these wonderful English composers compared to their European counterparts?
