Lyra Angelica

. I got to hear "Lyra Angelica" from about 9:37 p.m. until it ended tonight. I turned to it and liked it and wrote a note that it was from 1960s, and then changed my mind and wrote, 1940s? or? harp and/or piano? My guess, judging by the style of the composition and the way they played, was close. It was from 1954, by William Baldwin (or aldwin?), Harp and piano, and was played by the City of London Symphonia. It caught my attention by the very soft harp I believe, and then after a few measures, before 1 minute was up, I thought, it's vintage. Like 1940s-60s vintage. Ah, it's William Alwyn.
