Together, these form imaginary reverberations from the actual Baths of Caracalla of ancient Rome, now a vast, mysterious ruin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its heyday, the Baths of Caracalla was a wonderful place for friends to meet, with its combination of physical indulgences and artistic and intellectual stimulations. It probably felt like present-day Seattle. In addition to hot and cold baths, a swimming pool, and a gymnasium, it had a public library, art galleries, gardens, shops and restaurants. It was famous for its beautiful fountains and statues and its mosaic-covered walls and floors. The four players come together in the Baths of Caracalla, where the alto flutes echo in great, reverberant acoustics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuration: 7'40.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quetzal Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51641761956206,"sku":"QM010","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/files\/QM010.jpg?v=1727894039","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/brown-e-the-baths-of-caracalla","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
