Classical music to inspire you

A 30-minute soundscape of classical music, with pieces by Haydn, Bach and Clara Schumann.

The mix begins in sixteenth-century Italy with a lively rustic Vilanella, then moves through eighteenth-century Scotland with a Robert Burns setting, and ends up in twentieth-century Mexico with the song 'Little Star' by Manuel Ponce. There's also some classic Bach, Haydn and Rachmaninov, and there's a serene chamber piece by Clara Schumann.
