Music in Public Places Part 2: France
download file - France Streets (~11 Meg)
There's quite a bit of variety in a small space here. From the streets
of Lille and Boulogne-sur-mer (by the sea), we have cameo appearances
by a jazz duo playing in a big square in Lille and a lone flutist blowing
up a storm in a winding, cobbled side street. There is virtually no
traffic noise as these are pedestrian areas. Then we go to the seaside where
we start with a Celtic influenced rave up and then have a twenty voice
men's choir singing two old standards that involve the sea. Then, to finish,
our favourite which is a lone accordian player with the sounds of seagulls
wheeling overhead, people passing by, and puffs of wind.
