Amazing history of an amazing aircraft!

Comfort of this music is beyond words

It's a wonder what Ralph Vaughan Williams did. He created an orchestral piece for strings. The melody on which it is based was the third of nine melodies that Tallis contributed to a metrical psalter compiled by Archbishop Matthew Parker.

Just transcends life love and death.( Without sounding pretentious)❤

You might be wondering about the separation of the orchestra into foreground and background sections. RVW was primarily an organist. In many large pipe organs, there is a division of pipes called the Echo or Ethereal division, which is located some distance from the primary organ, sometimes even at the opposite end of the church. This division was designed to provide a kind of stereo or surround sound effect. This is the effect RVW is trying to get by using the 2nd "Shadow" orchestra.

I want to hear this as my soul leaves my body, don't matter to where, just as long as i can hear this while i make my voyage.

The young woman catching lengths of balsa wood at 12.41 is my late mother aged 19. :)

From the moment I heard it, it became part of me. Its music I cannot live without, and can play in my memory like an absolute recording. This is one of the best renditions of it in recent times. Others may disagree - but to me there is an element both of the depths of space, as well as an element of crystallized whale-song to it.

After having heard many performances of this masterpiece, I cannot help believing that this is the ultimate performance, not only because it is so magnificently played at the very same venue where the composer himself conducted and first performed it more than a century before this recording, but also because it so obviously reflects the pains and tortures of Psalm 2 upon which Thomas Tallis based his immortal melody ... Let us not forget, that Tallis was a religious outsider by the time he wrote this music, respected as a musician but at the same time outcast as a Roman Catholic at a time when Anglicisim was paving its way as the mainstream religion in England ... With great sensitivity Ralph Vaughan Williams, although not confessing to any religion himself, has reinterpreted Psalm 2 in such a way, that one can feel the oppression of the devout Catholic that Tallis was at a time when his Religion was barely tolerated ... ruclips.net/video/8bPFAKxb9IQ/видео.html

The BEST Version EVER. It bring me to Tears

Arguably the best theme music ever composed. Loneliness and dark, drizzly, empty streets. Captures the feeling and mood of Frank Marker perfectly. Quite an intricate piece to score and play. Props to Bob Sharples and what I can only assume are session musicians. Giving Edwin Astley a run for the money here.

The first time i heard this, i was unable to speak for what seemed an eternity. And as a Londoner of Irish extraction, speaking has never been a problem. I couldn't believe that a mere human could write something so elemental, so magisterial. I really thought the Creator had spoken to me.

What a machine, she's a Beauty.

The irony is that Vaughan Williams was an atheist.

This superb performance, led by the late Sir Andrew Davis, puts me in mind of "Fantasia," except that the real setting is superior to using animation. I hasten to add that if someone were to pair the music with animation I would certainly watch it. "Fantasia" significantly impacted how I often hear music. It's the closest I can get to having that reportedly rare condition of synesthesia.

Thank you Great Britain for giving the world Ralph Vaughan Williams. In the Fen Country and the Lark Ascending are two more wonderful compositions.

would love to attend a Live Performance of this.

Born in England but now living elsewhere, when listening to this I imagine an airial view of the English North Sea coast and the beautiful countryside

I once saw a documentary about the Spitfire, and this was played as it flew above the clouds

I was born in Gloucester. My mother helped build hurricane fighters there during the war, and saw friends bombed and died in the factory. My father was a fire watcher at the cathedral and helped protect the cathedral and St. Edward's chair. The music, the setting, the memories are part of me.

Lifechanging

This is God when he runs out of cats to send down

Very atmospheric.

This speaks to my soul.. My England, my Leon heart! The greatest country and people the world has ever known. ❤❤❤❤

Excellent! Thanks!

I was saddened to learn of Andrew Davis’s passing in April 2024. An extraordinary career and legacy. This remains one of the finest performances of any piece of classical music.

Were Mosquitos ever built in the U.S?

RIP Andrew Davis.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written!! I can be worn out from work or stressed and I put this on and everything seems to vanish and I dream about another place and another time!!!

My mother worked there in the war

This performance is all the more precious as it can never be replicated. That wonderful interpreter of William’s consummate piece, the conductor, Andrew Davis, died in April 2024.

Shame the whole programme isn't on RUclips. RIP Sir Andrew.

All versions of this sound pedestrian compared to the version on GREEN. Steve always sounds good but his drum and bass players are too stiff. Also most versions I've heard are too damn fast.. They are rushing through it. The GREEN version is the one...for ME.

I was fortunate enough to meet John Cunningham many years ago, he lived nearby and his navigator, Jimmy Rawnsley was my fils best man. I clearly remember him saying it was a beautiful plane to fly.... fast, but a sod if you stalled!

Perfection

Greatest real life documentary on the sheer power of the .45ACP. and the unparalleled 80 round capacity of the 1911......

I only watch talking pictures don't watch any reality shite

This is a good piece to listen to when using a telesdcope.

This beautiful music reminiscent of the English countryside could equally apply to Buxton and the countryside in and around Maine USA.

I love Ralph Vaughan

One of the most epic hymns.

ENGLAND!!!! and then some!!

I'm glad that I lost my religion long ago

RIP Albert and Molly Bowers. I first heard this wonderful piece in their house in Longford Ireland. I miss those days, but long to sit beside you in heaven sipping Earl Grey tea and listening to Albert’s classical record collection. Along with my parents I miss you all so much.

It's like passing from this world and watching the sun rise over all things before ascending to the heavens.

A fantastic example of modal music. And what is modal music you ask? It's complicated. lol

I heard this this awesome masterpiece the first time in the movie „Master & Commander“. It‘s divine and not from this world. RIP Sir Andrew Davis.

Why this music reminds me of beatification, of Jesus, of Buddha, of Mohammed, Moses... Take your pick, walking with a kindly smile through the Earth, i do not know. Vaughan Williams gift was to shine a light on the spark of God that is in everything. How he did that i do not know. I sound terribly religious, but I'm really not at all. It's this music that causes these feelings.
