Remembrance Sunday London England 2009
in the presence of HM The Queen. The massed bands of the Household Division under the baton of Colonel Graham Jones Senior Director of Music.
I love how the British never fail to remember their fallen warriors! This is a wonderful, beautiful and most meaningful musical tribute to those in the military who will never, ever be forgotten by these great British people right here!
Not many songs can embobody sadness, despair and heartbreak......then mould it into hope, glory and triumph. What a piece of music!!! 👌👌👌
I LOVE THIS PIECE BY Elgar. My mom always said that she wanted it played at her funeral mass. We granted her wish. I know that she heard every note played. Miss you mom ~ Marilyn M Brennan 9/17/29 ~ 12/26/21
Surely the most heartrending piece of music ever composed. It was played at my Normandy Veteran father's funeral and there wasn't a dry eye in the church.
Years ago I had the pleasure of hearing the St. Petersburg Symphony in concert. They were wonderful. So much so, that the audience brought them back for four encores. The last was this the piece. It was like a musical prayer. After they finished, no one applauded or made a sound. Heads were bowed and many were weeping, myself included. There was no applause even then. We all simply gathered our things and filed out in the quiet of the theater. No one wanted to alter the absolute peace that fell over the symphony hall. A musical moment that I will never forget.
This music is by our greatest composer Elgar;the music is in the soul of what it means to be British.I am a proud Scot proud of Scotland’s great contribution into making Britain great! Cast aside those nationalists who claim to speak for Scotland; they make the silent majority ashamed of what they claim to do in our name.I am British 1st and Scottish 2nd.Britain is great;Elgar is great Scotland is great; those that would attempt to break up our great nation are in the main ignorant uneducated morons!Douglas Lindsay
I’d love to know why people come on UA-cam just to dislike videos. What a sad existence they live. This is sublime ❤️
Conscription didn't begin until 1917, so actually a lot of the British soldiers who died in WW1 gave their lives as volunteers and should be respected as such. Two members of my family signed up in September 1914. In 1917 both of them were killed.
I just lay there with my eyes closed listening to that wonderful music, and yes! I AM proud of England my country.
I've heard Nimrod performed by symphony orchestras, organists, pianists and sung and I dearly love them all but this is my favorite performance. Big brass makes for a magnificent Nimrod experience. Thank you.
I dedicate this to my late mother who served in the RAF and sadly passed away 3 year's ago and it still feels like yesterday. To all the fallen and veterans God Bless You All 🙏 ❤😢❤😢
Elgar was before his time. His work lifts the soul and makes you proud to be British ! Rest in peace dad
There is no piece of music that does not fail to make me cry like this. Tears running down my face thinking about my Grandparents and all the others who gave the ultimate sacrifice. So humbling and emotional. God Bless You. X
Long live the England, our stalwart friend sin good times and bad. Thanks from a grateful American.
We are so glad to live in a country where we can listen to sublime music, delivered in such impeccable style. No other place on earth can match this.
If a piece of music can embody Remembrance, this is it. I remember my brothers lost in Afghanistan every day. I am thankful to have known you and fought alongside you. Airborne Warriors.
If you failed to be moved by this piece of music you have a heart of stone
Remembrance Sunday is one of the things us Brits do really well. Paying tribute and remembering all the brave lads & lasses from the British Isles and the Commonwealth in all the conflicts since 1914 who gave all.
My grandad fought through the horrors of trench warfare in the First World War. He was deafened by an artillery shell but survived and lived until he was three days short of his hundredth birthday. I always think of him and his comrades when I hear this, and remember how important it is for everyone to strive for peace in the world.
From a military band, they don't come better than this.......anywhere in the world!
