Moeran collected this folksong during I think, the early 1920's. This piece is perfect. If you know the broads in Norfolk as I do, being Norfolk bred, it is the perfect compliment to a winters day walk around Stalham and district. Some years ago I met the grandson of one William Sutton, whom Moeran collected folk songs from. Brief link with that age so long ago.

English/Irish pastoral music doesn't get any better than this. Neville Dilkes and the English Sinfonia (EMI) The perfect accompaniment to George Butterworth's short pieces. And those by Herbert Howells...

Beautiful - you can really hear the influence of Delius ;)

[@tomcherney42]

Another in the lyrical , folk- song tradition of the landscaped Brits...

[@blossomsquirrel]

You're right on both counts, Carol...considerably Delian, and very beautiful.

I wonder what music that leads to astringently withered spiritual enlightenment ！ 🍒
From effulgent Tokyo in profound Japan
Which national are you watching this video ？

[@harryandruschak2843]

So relaxing. Very much in the spirit of Delius's Two Pieces For Small Orchestra

This is British Music and I adore it!

The modulation from 3:10 (the chord at 3:27) is so exquisite and sensuel...nice discovery, a great composer !

[@matthewpage848]

If you were new to Moeran when you posted your comment, I hope you’ve discovered his Symphony in G. He was composed only that one symphony, but it is fully packed. You’ll enjoy it tremendously.

An astonishing piece of music

[@markparry6076]

This piece has a sense of place

[@yuehchopin]

schön melancholisch

[@michaelmosher5168]

Soothing, beautiful.

[@chuckrivers]

Just lovely.

[@hectorbarrionuevo6034]

These miniatures are intensely beautiful, melancholic, tuneful, pastoral, lush, as expected !! What a gorgeous chord at 5:58, just before the passage that highlights the flute!

[@gabrieru1983]

sublime

Jistá melodická podobnost se 3. symfonií Ralpha Vaughana Williamse. Silný melancholický nádech.

[@stickwagger]

I believe that this is a portrait of the Norfolk landscape?

[@irateofwatford]

Trunch especially.

[@James-il4bo]

I speak of the Warlock piece...But the others are beautiful too.

[@DebraColquhoun-nq5nf]
