Tennyson wrote a famous poem for New Year’s Day, or any day. Jonathan Dove, a contemporary English composer, set it to music. This episode begins with that piece. There is also a song from the American Revolution, sometimes known as “Chester” (“Let tyrants shake their iron rod”). Jay further includes a little-known composer from Brazil with a flavorful name: Radamés Gnattali. Then you get Brahms and others. A nice, varied menu.Dove, “Ring Out, Wild Bells”Gnattali, Guitar Concerto No. 4Brahms, Ballade in D, Op. 10, No. 2Billings, “Chester” (“Let tyrants shake their iron rod”)Martucci, Nocturne, Op. 70, No. 1Verdi, Ave Maria from Otello
