Midday Classical: Stenhammar Serenade
Friday, 11/06/09 10am on Classical Music with Walter Parker
Swedish composer Wilhelm Stenhammar was inspired to write his Serenade
while spending the spring of 1907 in Florence, Italy. He wrote to a
friend, 'I'd like to compose the kind of beautiful poetry about the
South of which only a Northerner is capable.'
