I love Gustav Holst :lovedup:



should really look into him more.

Beautiful version, LJ. I love it,too. I wish I was British. :( :laugh2:(true!)

4.39 I am sure I have seen an old movie using this piece.
I thought of "Now Voyager (1942)"
I checked it but I could not find the full video. I must borrow the video one day. What other film would it be!
I can't stop thinking about it like bone stuck in my throat.:hugesmile:

I played this (viola) at Christmas :blush:

and according to wikipedia:

The second theme of the first movement formed the basis of a popular song in the 1940s, "(This is) The Story of a Starry Night" (by Mann Curtis, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston) which was popularized by Glenn Miller. This same theme is the music behind "Where," a 1959 hit for Tony Williams and the Platters as well as "In Time," by Steve Lawrence in 1961, and John O'Dreams by Bill Caddick. All four songs have completely different lyrics.
Excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Sixth can heard in a number of films, including Now, Voyager, the 1997 version of Anna Karenina, The Ruling Class, Minority Report, Sweet Bird of Youth, Soylent Green and The Aviator.

Thank you, LJ:blush:

I did not know there were so many films. It may be because they sound o dramatic. I will have a look at all films you mentioned.

LJ, is there any chance we can listen to your play, (any instrument)?:amazed:

Hmm, well I'm not a professional musician (although I've been offered a couple of professional jobs) and I'm a little bit shy, but I may consider it. :bigsmile:

Come on, LJ!! :amazed:
