Music of the Day: Mompou – Paisajes no.2 “El Lago”
Today’s piece is “El Lago (The Lake)”, the second of three piano pieces by Federico Mompou (1893-1987).
“El Lago” is inspired by Barcelona’s Montjuic Park, but this piece is not so much a picturesque depiction of nature as it is a abstracted and polished beauty that has been cut out of the composer’s inner landscape.

Music of the Day: John Ireland – “The Island Spell”
Today’s piece is “Decorations,” the first of three piano pieces by John Iarland (1879-1962).
This beautiful and picturesque piece seems to delicately depict the green of a lake or forest and the breeze. It’s a nice change of pace.
