I've remembered this piece of music since I was five years old, decades ago, and have been trying to find it ever since. It is magnificent, such an artistic composition.
As a boy , in the mid 50's , I remember constantly hearing this piece in my home but it wasn't till the advent of the internet that I even new its name let alone its origin . Funny how some movie themes live on long after the movies that introduced them are forgotten . Warsaw Concerto , Unchained Melody , etc.
I think it was a fortune when I heard "Olwen`s Dream". I knew instantly that this music belongs to me. Now I `m back to my piano. Music and Art is a part of me.
One of my Mothers favourites, the name of which came to me in the shower a few minutes ago, long forgotten over the last thirty years or more now remembered forever.
Clearing out my grandparents house as they have both left us now. I was given my nana's fathers bag, he played piano. It has this as a piano solo in it, along with church readings. Her name was Olwen, so I guess he played it for her. I just listened to it, it's beautiful.
+ Victoria Clark In Britain where i live this can often be heard on Classic FM or other programmes that reflect the tastes of more discerning older people. Check out the version by the Luton Girls Choir which was a firm favourite here in the 1040's.
Some might find it interesting to Google Olwen w/o "dream of". She's a character in an early mystical/magical story that took place in Wales or Briton. Knowing the story adds something to the song, which has some of the pathos of Olwen & her giant father.
PEOPLE OFTEN SAY THAT ABOUT ''THE WARSAW CONCERTO', WHICH IS TRUE, BECAUSE , THE FILM MAKER'S ENQUIRED AFTER RACHMANINOV, TO WRITE THE THEME MUSIC, BUT HIS FEE, AND COST OF TRAVELLING TO BRITAIN FROM THE USA, ETC, WAS TOO MUCH; SO THEY APPROACHED RICHARD ADDINSELL , AND TOLD HIM, TO MAKE HIS WORK SOUND ''LIKE RACMANNINOV'S STYLE; AND HE OBLIGED, AND AT A GREAT DEAL LESS COST. THAT THEME, BECAME THE FIRST MILLION SELLER IN BRITAIN .
I am ready with the bandages to tourniquet my wrists after several slashes. It's not exactly 'fun' music. I can feel myself fading away on the bed with a bottle of pills by my side.

Yes, dont forget the Cornish Rapsody too. A beautiful piece of music.
Beautiful piece of music 🎶🎶🎶
This was my mum’s favourite and still brings tears to my eyes even though she died 40 years ago.
This was also my Mum's favourite. She died in 1985 at 64 yrs. old.
@@AntheaBrown-sh8lw MY MOM INTRODUCED ME TO THIS KIND OF MELODIC ENGLISH MUSIC, SHE DIED IN 1981, AGED 75.
Maravilhoso ........❤
An absolutely intriguing number that blends into my lifestyle

Beautiful
I love this tune and I watched the film the other night 🎉
Simply put. This is beautiful.
Charles Williams composed this for the 1947 film "While I Live". A great composer.
I'm always surprised this remarkable work isn't better known or performed more often.
IT USED TO BE ON THE RADIO A LOT ,UP UNTIL THE 1960'S, ''FRIDAY NIGHT IS MUSIC NIGHT'' WAS A LIVE HOUR LONG SHOW OF POPULAR CONCERT MUSIC.

Without doubt the best version of this fantastic piece.

Traduz de uma forma muito delicada,a emoção do afeto que existe na alma pura.
Brilliant
Une excellente version de cette oeuvre composée par Charles Williams en 1947 pour le film 'While I Live'.
