Episode description
In this week raising awareness of mental health, Hannah French considers Music for Melancholy. From Dowland’s Flow, My Tears, to David’s Harp, she’s off in search of music with the power to balance the humours and transform the spirit. CPE Bach offers a contest between Sanguinius and Melancholicus and Michel Richard Delalande emerges as a figure who turned to music when faced with mental trials both great and small.
