Springtime

[jazzy_dave]

There is always a sense of renewal about Spring and that the shackles of a past life or past problems can be broken, and from it springs new hope and new reasons for being. I think a_phoenixdragon will understand what i mean. I have thus searched this out from You Tube after listening to a Radio 4 programme last night. It is by Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Springtime of The Year.

Conducted by Paul Brough, the BBC Singers celebrate the arrival of Spring with Vaughan Williams' arrangement of English folk song The Springtime Of The Year

He is also one of my favourite English composers and hence here is a second slice , a masterpiece, from this pastoral composer - Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis.

Enjoy.

That's very mellow, but escapes being Muzak.

Definitely not muzak - a term like "elevator music" which i apply to all vapid wallpaper music.

I can hear happiness in their voices in The Springtime of the Year. Maybe that's just the way the music goes.

The scenery in the second one is beautiful!

Thanks for sharing "The Springtime of the Year" -- I hadn't heard it before.

I totally get it...and that is lovely music. A little sweeter than I listen to normally, but good for the start of a day! *Beams*
