Phillip Sear plays a descriptive piece by the British composer Frederic Mullen (aka Gustave Lind)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#1  from 'Winter' (1919)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This suite is actually by the gifted British composer (Alfred) Frederic Mullen (1868-1936). Appraisal of his work is obscured by his use of pseudonyms - for example: Jean Morel , Gustave Lind - as in this work - and Pierre Lescaut.  The works Mullen wrote under the Lind 'brand' tend to be headed by short verse quotations.  This one is headed by a quotation from Robert Browning's 1848 poem 'The Guardian-Angel : A picture at Fano': "O world, as God has made it! All is beauty" - except that Mullen changes the 'O' to an 'A'!  Interestingly the Guercino picture described by the poem has no reference to winter - and you can even join a Browning enthusiasts' club if you go and see the picture in Fano, Italy ( http://bit.ly/1RYuKOg ).  For my thumbnail, I have superimposed Guercino's guardian angel on a winter landscape, and even given him some sun as he seems dressed for summer.
