I heard an interview with the harpist, she made it herself, and because it was longer than standard, she made her own strings from fishing line! Note Sam Pirt on accordion too! This is possibly only available in UK, because it's a BBC thing, although it IS on YouTube |

The youtube clip should be there much longer and shows the performance of the score |

The folk song STOW BROW is incorporated. There is also a great human interest story about how a 98 yr young lady had her poem included in the symphony CLICK |

08 Sep 10 - 06:07 PM (#2982690) Subject: RE: Song of Yorkshire by Simon Lindley From: MoorleyMan All very informative, but it's not the Song Of Yorkshire by Simon Lindley. I believe there's a separate thread for the Symphony, so let's get the two apart? |

08 Sep 10 - 09:27 PM (#2982832) Subject: RE: Song of Yorkshire by Simon Lindley From: Soldier boy OK MoorelyMan. That sounds fine by me. Sorry I got the two confused. So it is The Symphony for Yorkshire by Benjemin Hill that I meant to broadcast here. Sorry for the mistake. The words of Doreen Bringham (98 years old) when she says : "Then let me rest in Yorkshire, For it's there I want to lie. 'Neath the sun and wind and heather, and a gleaming Yorkshire sky." Brought me to tears. What a great composition by Benjemin Hill and the words of this fantastic old gal! God bless you Doreen. Chris |
