Today marks the start of National Tree Week, so plenty of tunes inspired by our lofty green friends. Paul Robeson sings of a tree’s unmatched loveliness, Cliodhna Ní Aodáin plays The Tree Witch, Sami singer Torgeir Vassvik evokes the spirit of the birch tree, Carole Nelson’s endless fascination with the woods near her home, and Stravinsky’s joyous neo-classical Dumbarton Oaks. Climb up and join the leafy chorus.
