May 9, 2012 - Hey guys, my high school orchestra played this for a contest and it would be awesome if you could listen to it and leave a comment. (we're alot better than most high schools, very professional sounding in my own extremely bias opinion) It's here, tell me what you think :) /watch?v=cDM2Cq9J_LM

May 9, 2012 - can I assume you read Una Nota Dolce as well? I swear, my eyes are tearing up right now.

May 10, 2012 - That is irrelevant to what I asked.(But yes.)

May 10, 2012 - Not exactly. If there's a cello solo in this song, as there is in the story, then i wouldn't assume as such. But since there is none, I assume that anyone looking for one either *wants* a cello solo in this song (or any song), or has read a story that explicitly states there *is* one where there isn't. Quick, grab my tuxedo!LOGIC!

RossMarlow Says:

May 10, 2012 - I'm just going to listen to the song and silently >feel.

May 12, 2012 - I am visiting one of Britain's most magnificent stately homes in Aug to hear this being played by the English Symphony orchestra while a single solitary Spitfire plane soars overhead - for my mum's 60th birthday. I am crying already just thinking about it! x

May 12, 2012 - This tune was my dads favourite, i remember sitting outside the room where he used to do his tailoring and listening to this, now he is gone, but the memory of him and music still lives on in my heart. Also it reminds me of how proud i am to be english.

May 13, 2012 - Once, when Elgar had been very depressed and was about to give it all up and write no more music, Jaeger had visited him and encouraged him to continue composing. He referred to Ludwig van Beethoven, who had a lot of worries, but wrote more and more beautiful music. "And that is what you must do", Jaeger said and he sang the theme of the second movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathétique". elgar ten started nimrod :)

May 14, 2012 - Im 12 and i just want to say something.Everyone who commented here has got the same idea. This "piece of art" has brought everyone together, long gone memories of your relatives have been thought of and many words have been said. This is the meaning of life as @Tridosu mentioned we are all 1i have read a lot of books about religion most of them that we should treat someone in the same way you want you to be treated. I hope War,Gas and everything that degrades us will soon be simplified.

May 17, 2012 - Which stately home? I've googled and can't find it. I would love to go! I cry every time I hear this and have never heard it live! It's heart wrenching!

May 21, 2012 - they played this to a friends recent funeral and it brings back sad memories. Very hard to listen to and not cry. A great piece of music written by a great English composer. God Bless.

May 27, 2012 - A truly beautiful piece of music. I am at once filled with both sorrow and pride when ever I hear it.

May 29, 2012 - Adapted to suit Churchillian 2nd World War propaganda this music fits the bill. Sad, uplifting, 'uniting' as much as Handel has always been able to gift humanity with in his concordant harmonies and 'music therapy' for the 'soul. Truly Awesome!!!
