I can remember during and just after WW2 this 'wonderment' was aired regularly on the radio and I have loved it since those dark days. I do often sit and wonder whether anything so beautiful will be replicated by children of today and in the future?
Dear magnanimous merciful and honorable Sir Mister Shykles it was very kind of you to deign to give me opportunity to behold this Stupendous video and list this brilliant music! Dear magnanimous merciful and honorable Sir Mister Shyklesm I gratitude your for this.! Dear magnanimous merciful and honorable Sir Mister Shyklesm Save God your light Soul Forever and Ever!!
Thank you for having this recording here - it has meant so much to me - and to my wife who passed away recently. Purcell, in his short life, was (and is) the epitome of English music - he never left his home here in Westminster - and died here aged 37 - but, through his music he identified a new world for those who will receive it.
I was taught this song when I was at Lansvale Public School N S W. Australia, by a wonderful teache,r Mr Worth. I am now in my 60s but have often sung it to myself. It was wonderful to hear the Manchester Schools choir . I remembered most of the words.
I just love this recording. It evokes wonderful memories of my 1950s school days. We sang this many times, at a time when classical and patriot songs were the norm. How I wish I could go back to those times for a short while just to sing that beautiful song with the rest of my school girl friends.
Thanks also to Alan Blumlein, Engineer, of EMI, who invented stereo recording, superb microphones and amplifiers, making this wonderful sound available today. His inventions also made possible the first pubic TV service in the World, from London. Sadly he was killed whilst testing a new radar on an aircraft during WW2.

This is a true classic recording, which I remember with great fondness from my young days. You have brought it to life with your beautiful pictures. A delight to watch and listen to over and over... Where did you get the pictures of Flora ?
Flora the roman goddess. Search on Google images. It is the original recording with very high frequencies removed, adjusted to sound stereo and echo added for hall the size of the Free Trade Hall. I think that was all.

How beautiful like an old fashioned fairy tale like the awakening of spring morning
How sweet and lovely. Enriched by the art displayed. Purcell: the glory of English composers.
Great Music is for all times... For every generation...

Mum & Dad had this on a 78 and as a child I loved it
This is a classic recording and rendition. 1929. The Halle Orchestra & Sir Hamilton Harty.

My mum was a schoolgirl in the 1950s and had vivid memories of this song. We played it last year at her funeral, and it means a great deal to me.
I was in primary school in the 50’s and ABC radio played this recording often enough for it to become a favourite of mine - then and now.
A joyful expression of a world and culture long since gone ,never to return .Lost to English consciousness.

To think this was recorded in 1929 and all the children I think have passed on but their beautiful singing will last forever
Wonderful rendition of a classic ~ thank you every one!
Lovely! I thought it was "this is glorious holiday' . Another 'mondegreen' (qv).
never dates !As fresh as ever.
For Granny’s funeral - the happy childhood she should have had.
