Light classical music

Oh, the joys of listening to light classical music. On Friday, 2lst October, I watched a programme on BBC4 called "Light Fantastic." The orchestra played pieces by Eric Coates, a favourite composer of mine - "London Calling," "The Three Elizabethans," and "The Knightsbridge March." I was enraptured. Other pieces included "London Cameo" by Hayden Wood and "Jumping Bean" by Robert Farnon (I may not have the spellings correct of these composers but you can put me right!) For well over an hour, I listened to the enthralling music and watched the energetic and skilful musicians play their instruments devotedly. More please!
