CLASSICAL MUSIC SOCIETY - Say it with Flowers was the title of Margaret Morter's presentation of recorded music.
She had made a selection of arrangements of spring flowers, many of which were illustrated in music.
Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons opened the programme.
Among the items heard were Ave Verum Corpus by Mozart, representing Monk's Hood, and there were Roses from the South by Johann Strauss II, the Flower Duet from Lakme, and Muzzorg Sky's Night on a Bare Mountain, when Mrs Morter displayed mountain laurel, and Flowers that Bloom in the Spring from The Mikado. As they contribute to the growth of the flowers, Flight of the Bumblebee and Chopin's Raindrop prelude were heard.
London Pride was depicted by Elgar's Cockayne overture, Paganini's La Campanella for any bell flowers.
The Duvant Male Choir sang Lily of the Valley, and the evening ended with Summer which, as Mrs Morter said, is another programme entirely.
