Music for Eating
STATION 4YC solves the problem of the attention divided between eating a meal and listening to the radio very nicely with its Early Evening Concert. These programmes ate made up of familiar and attractive music that can ‘be listened to with one eye on one’s plate. It has been recognised at last that the items need not be brief, and with this recognition we have got away from the rather scrappy music that used to accompany our meals, and the session has greatly improved. One recent Sunday evening concert, for instance, contained a Bach Concerto, Beethoven’s ’Cello Sonata, The Shepherd on the Rock, and the Unfinished Symphony. It is no disparagement of these works, I hope, to suggest that they make the ideal accompaniment to food.
