Cityscapes

We all know the Pastoral Symphony of Beethoven,
 Mendelssohn’s  Hebrides Overture inspired by Fingal’s
Cave, and the  music by Vaughan Williams inspired by the
English countryside.  But in  the modern era,  the
urban environment is inspiring many composers to  capture
its sounds in music.
