World Minerals

Autumn is the season of falling leaves, transience and melancholy. In this episode of Metamorphoses, we take a walk through autumn music from all over the world. You will hear wild geese flying over the Chinese cither, the autumn moon dancing on the water, and the leaves falling in New York. There will be no gloom or depressiveness in this programme by the way, for melancholy should remain fun.
