Paul Cantrell's recording of Chopin's Nocturn 55 No 1 moves with a slow elegance, picks up with fits of energy, and comes together to create a moving piece of music.

Rattlesnake Song #2 by Todd Harper
Composer Todd Harper, on Rattlesnake Song #2: "[This song] I have to share credit for, because I did not write the words. I was at my mom’s at Thanksgiving, and I found some old articles my dad wrote when he was alive, for the newspaper, the Forest Lake Times — and they’re about snakes. … This is about an expedition he took, and I thought, 'This would set really well for cello and voice.'"
