This is a shorter piece, but I really love it. The music really paints a lovely picture of a river as it grows from a small, winding stream into a mighty waterway. I can imagine it passing things like a royal hunt, a village wedding, a stretch of deep forest, some rapids, and finally a bustling city before flowing out to the sea. The composer is also Czech, which is probably why it resonates with me so much. Ahoy!

Great Classical Writing Music
I’ve been listening to a lot of classical music lately, especially while writing. One of my favorite pieces so far is Scheherezade by Rimski-Korsakov. I especially like this version, for how the conductor and players start shouting like pirates in the buildup toward the end. My kids and I call it the “pirate music” when we’re listening in the car. Good stuff!
