There are certain tunes that are really, really beautiful. And I don't know why! I'm talking about the inherent beauty of the tunes, quite separately from whichever well-known or well-loved words they happen to be attached to (and which, in some cases, actually detract from the beauty of the music) - tunes that are really beautiful in their own right. Here are just a few of my choices ... remembered at random, there are many more besides: Banks and Braes Battle of the Somme Brahms' Lullaby Bunch of Thyme Coquetdale Waltz Cwm Rhondda Grandfather's Clock Meeting of the Waters Michael Turner's Waltz Rose of Allandale Which other tunes would you add to this list?
