Subject: RE: Most beautiful song ever written? From: Arkie Date: 19 Dec 11 - 04:41 PM One thing I love about threads like this, is all the great suggestions and the material to build a list of music that I must hear. I do not think the following have been added yet: The Song of the Wandering Aengus Cornflower Blue Palace Grand Star of the County Down Loch Tay Boat Song Plasir d'Amour Si Bheag Si Mhor The Water is Wide |

Subject: RE: Most beautiful song ever written? From: Commander Crabbe Date: 20 Dec 11 - 08:07 PM As beauty rests in the eye (or ears) of the beholder (listener), there must be many beautiful songs. I can go with Elmore on "Do you think that I do not Know" I can also suggest "Pe In Eirinn I" as sung by Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh Pe in Eirinn I Merry Christmas |

Subject: RE: Most beautiful song ever written? From: freda underhill Date: 21 Dec 11 - 08:29 AM Here is an exquisite song by John Warner, Newell highway, sung by Nancy Kerr An Australian choir, Ecopella, singsa some very beautiful songs about the environment including All the wild wonders. Ecopella is conducted by Miguel Heatwole, an Australian singer and composer who is also a member of Triantan, a trio who sing Scottish and Irish songs in Gaelic and English.

Subject: RE: Most beautiful song ever written? From: Neil D Date: 21 Dec 11 - 11:58 PM I don't know how to pick just one as the most beautiful. In the realms of classical and religious music there are hundreds of contenders. Even in the narrower field of Christmas music there are many beautiful melodies. I can't think of a more beautiful tune than "Gaudete". At the other end of the spectrum, and this may seem counterintuitive, I think Tom Waits has written some intensely beautiful songs. In spite of his ravished voice and reputation for gritty retrospectives on the seedier side of life, on repeated listening songs like "Innocent When You Dream", "Time" and "Jersey Girl" are just striking. Such a wide spectrum of beautiful songs is why I say it is impossible to chose just one. |
Subject: RE: Most beautiful song ever written? From: GUEST,solstice boy Date: 22 Dec 11 - 12:14 AM you lot intellectualise to much.. "Most beautiful song ever written" ??? it's the song that most affected your emotions when you were a raw inexperienced unspoilt by the horrible grown up world child.. in my case.. "Ring of Bright Water".. |
Subject: RE: Most beautiful song ever written? From: Big Al Whittle Date: 22 Dec 11 - 03:44 AM In my case its 'Who can fart the loudest?' I intend to write the song next week. This mighty work will be an audience participation piece,geared to live performance and terrifically loud smelly farts - when evrybodys been eating sprouts over the Holy Festival. When I unleash beauty of this song on the world, the earth will probably split open, the four horsemen of the apocalypse gallop out, and then gallop back in - when the smell hits them. Just thought, I'd better warn you in advance..... |
Subject: RE: Most beautiful song ever written? From: GUEST,solstice boy Date: 22 Dec 11 - 03:57 AM Big Al.. if you can fart "Ring of Bright Water"...????? [and there's over 40 years of childhood dreams loaded in that song..] |
