This piece takes us straight into the city of its composer’s youth. A waltz spins past like a memory. A blues groove strolls in from the street. It all begins with just two notes - and unfolds into a series of playful, colourful sound pictures. Can you #NameThatPiece? 🤓

Great guessing! Our #NameThatPiece today was taken from the 3rd Movement of @leonardbernstein.com’s ‘Chichester Psalms’. Last weekend, Chichester Cathedral unveiled a new plaque, to mark the 60th anniversary of Bernstein's ‘Chichester Psalms’ and the Cathedral’s 950th year.
