Hear more. Feel more. Be more! Come with me and dive into some great classical music. For over 1000 years great musicians have explored what it means to live, love, die and everything in between: asking all our deep and universal questions. Escape the cacophony - the noise of your brain and daily life; tune into the music, your feelings and emotions ‘good’ and ‘bad’ …and find the space, stillness and love that underpins everything. NB: May include loud noise, surprises, challenges, cacophonous racket. May cause shock, comfort, discomfort, smiles, tears, peace, transcendence. www.cacophonyonline.com classical music Home of the Women’s World Cup of Classical Music

American composer Amy Beach was so popular that her followers held ‘Beach Clubs’* to play and listen to her music!
Her Quartet for strings is lean and powerful, as well as being a great jump-off into the world of string quartets: a place fraught with danger for the players, where composers go to bare their souls.
Take a listen and join the Beach Club!
Music here on Youtube or Spotify. (Listening time 21 mins: podcast 7', music 13')

If you like this piece, you can buy it here or elsewhere in top quality download (FLAC is ‘lossless quality’, MP3 is compressed, so might loose some impact) for a couple of quid! This isn't an affiliate link, I just want to make sure you get a great recording. It's the Ambache Chamber Ensemble. Please buy recordings! The artists get almost nothing via youtube/Spotify...
If you're enjoying Cacophony and want to help, you can support us, by 'buying me a ko-fi'!
Thanks for listening!
*This means I can milk the terrible Beach pun, cos it was used in her lifetime in the 1930s and 40s!
