A weekend of remarkably sunny weather was the perfect opportunity for a walk along the Thames, ending in an afternoon drink in a pub garden, where a plucky robin serenaded us with his impressively loud voice. The soundtrack to my walk was Delius’s On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring - a warm 1997 recording by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields under Neville Marriner. Alas, no cuckoos on the river - but plenty of geese, ducks and coots!

Bach's recycled choral music brings festive cheer to Leipzig
Shout, exult, arise, praise these days! Glorify what the Almighty today has done!' Early on the morning of 25 December 1734, these words resounded from the choir stalls of the Thomaskirche, Leipzig, to a jubilant accompaniment of festive timpani, pealing trumpets and scampering violins. Seated at a keyboard, the church's director of music Johann Sebastian Bach marshalled the musicians in a performance of the cantata Jauchzet, frohlocket! Auf, preiset die Tage, which preceded the sermon in the morning service.
