Music Appreciation Monday: Serenade for Strings

Composed by Edward Elgar, conducted by Ramon Tebar, performed by the Spanish Radio Television Orchestra. This is a beautiful piece, quiet and slightly mournful. It's excellent baby-sleeping music, too. :-)

First movement, Allegro piacevole*:

Second movement, Larghetto:



Third movement, Allegretto



*piacevole means "agreeable"
