Best of English Composers – Purcell, Holst, the ‘African Mahler’, Elgar… And More!
Bringing You Purrfect Music Every Day!
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?

Every day is a new experience, we face new challenges, and we learn new ways to overcome. And that is why every day I aim to bring something different, with bringing my own songs to the mix, along with some other great artists – from nature, meditation music, chill music, binaural beats, and of course, classical music.
So, whatever mood you are in, I have something for you!
Let us not forget our mascot for the channel – Wolfgang… Whom you may see pop up from time to time. Watch out for him.
