The movie is in the works so maybe we'll get lucky and they'll bring it back! I just started watching first season again on Amazon. I can't get enough 👍
Matthew Machanda Id like a series about the very first Earl of Grantham. Downton basically showed the final age of the aristocracy. I’d like to see this family’s beginning
For me, it was the opening scene. This theme, along with visuals of English countryside, the telegraph pole and John Bates (the most sincere character ever) watching it from the train window. 😍😍😍😍
To me, it always sounds like coming home. When I first started watching Downton, I was in a very good place in my life. Happy days. I get a little choked up when I hear it but in a good way.
My mother watched the show from 2010 until the time of her passing in September 2015. She was never able to finish the final season. My wife, daughter and I decided to watch it from the beginning soon thereafter and went through all five seasons culminating in the final season. When the movie came out in 2019, a large group of us went and saw it. This show and the fantastic music will always remind of me of my wife, and of course, my mother.. Wish I could have watched it with her. I remember her frequently talking about it. And that someone dying was very shocking.. ah, Matthew..
This song makes me feel like I'm flying over grassy summer hills... But there's an air of danger and urgency there, too. Hmm... hard to put into words. Maybe this will help: Pretty sure I cried the first time I listened to this. haha It's just so overwhelmingly beautiful at times.
Caoimhín Well that's not surprising given that imagery was the purpose of the music. The strings pulsing underneath the whole piece are supposed to be the locomotive from ep1 flying through the grassy countryside--the melody is meant to be the ominous danger of the telegram with the Titanic news being sent across the telegraph wires. And the resolution when the pulsing strings stop is meant to be the camera fixing on the panoramic view of Highclere castle, where the music mellows out and loses its pulse.
'I remember seeing the hills roll by as the train pressed on through the English countryside. The urgency of the coal powered engine matched my own as my fingers drummed the letter resting on my lap. "Come home Rupert. Your father has taken ill and has requested you." It had been may years since I had last been home but now I headed back. Back into the home I had left in disgrace all those years ago.' Is this the kind of mood it gives you?
The fast tempo of the violins make the urgency, and also the feeling of time slipping by. The eighth note of the main theme ends on an A, making the sadness, anxiety and danger, a suggestion of the time period (war). The c major scale it is set in also gives a sense of nostalgia and belonging. I don't know much about music but this is what I could take from it. I love this song but it also scares me in some way and I'm not sure why.
A very good description, and i'd like to add that the fact that the time is 12/8 instead of the regular 4/4 creates the feeling that the beats last slightly more giving part of the anxiety filing. (I notice it more in the first notes that instead being 4 quarter notes are 4 doted quarter notes.)
@@HiddenTalent_07 its the austere elegant chords of the strings, mixed with the familiar bowing of the Cellos and Contrabass giving that urgent background back-and-forth, mixed with the piano, harp, and other accompanying melodies. 1:53 does it for me, my favorite melodies always have this note system to it, you can even hear the background chords change to fit the sadder note there. Its a little more curious than just the main melody before it.
Ahhhh... My favourite tune! I had the privilege of doing a private tour at Highclere Castle this September. What an amazing experience it was. I highly recommend it!
Lucky you Kamini....would u be able to share photos? My id is openspaces.bangalore@gmail.com I co miss this saga...nothing like it has ever hit tv after...and here in India. Star World didn't put up the last season....idiots
I actually felt saddened when this series ended. I thought, I won't get to live in this magnificent manor anymore, and I'll no longer be part of this family.
Always reminds me of the show's intro, the bell ringing, the out-of-focus maid going up the stairs, the trials and tribulations of the people, and blanketing it all, a nostalgia for a time period I never lived through.
I watched the entire series and movie with my mom over the span of less than a year. She didn't understand why I would want to watch it, but not only was I able to spend time with my mom and build inside jokes and memories with her, but also able to experience such a lovely story. Everytime I hear this I smile and get a little teary eyed
I did the same thing with mom and dad. I knew she liked the show so I bought her the full series on disk for Mother’s Day. We ended up watching the whole thing over the next year and a half.
Anyone else love the dissonant tone between the chords? They paint a picture of a place that's trying to be elegant but is covering up very dark secrets.
I think it’s like the contrast between how the family is struggling to maintain tradition in a time of extreme change. They’re trying to keep themselves as a model aristocratic family but life changes as monarchies get overthrown , the ruling class becomes less influential, and industrial society settles in.
I'm 12, and in love with the series and soundtracks. I don't think any word in the English dictionary could possibly describe the beauty of how the song sounds! Nevermind describe the feeling it causes! This song makes me feel like I was there, at the time... the early 1900s, witnessing all the events that happened THROUGH MY EYES instead of a television screen!
I binged this series in a couple of weeks when I was off, but never skipped this music at the beginning as it was so lovely to hear every time. This isn’t as good as the original score
Each episode was VERY expensive to produce, so they had to cut it down. Nonetheless, I find it better that it's short and doesn't drag out like The Simpsons where it eventually looses its potency and becomes a weak series that barely gets my attention.
I’ve never seen Downtown Abbey but I can recognize and deeply appreciate this masterpiece of music. It’s so incredibly beautiful with hints of sadness, drama, and mystery. It almost feels like a continuous march or circling of something whether or not someone wants it to. Amazing. ❤️
Ich höre Ende und Anfang in diesem zauberhaften Stück, Eile und Dringlichkeit. Zu oft sah ich es auf TH-cam Menschen spielen, die zu jung waren um zu gehen, deshalb erfüllt mich diese Musik mit Sehnsucht , Hoffnung und Loslassen. Und ich kann es nicht loslassen.
I have a sense and feeling about this, but the beauty about it is that Number one: I could sit and listen to this for hours Number 2: it makes you enter heaven literally Number three: you don’t know what feelings you feel when you listen to this Anyone agree
Absolutely. It's so beautiful yet... Mysterious. Like there are secrets hidden behind closed doors in the house which, we know after watching it that there are. I just feel like there will always be secrets that will go undiscovered
I remember when the show first came out. I was little and my parents would watch it together with me sometimes. The intro was always beautiful back then, and it still is now. So nostalgic
I'm not able to put in words on what I'm feeling while hearing this..the emotions are so many.. they're just mixed...but the most prominent one is feeling like I belong to them..to be a part of that family...be a part of their legacy...their pride,...and I don't know it is just a beautiful piece of art.. perfectly put together
I wasn't even a big fan of this series, I just find this theme song incredibly beautiful and I cannot quite put into words the feeling it evokes. Kind of a mix of nostalgia, sadness, hope, adventure, and a sense of longing all at the same time.
Don't know if anyone's still here but I'm watching Season One for the first time in 2024....then I'm watching the Second Season "The New Era"...I love these types of shows, plus I need to get my mind off my most recent breakup. This series should definitely do the trick. Wish me luck 🎉❤😊
No hablamos el mismo idioma...pero en mi opinión es una serie increíble, soy bastante joven (14 años) pero me encantó, me encanta esa época y si a ti también lo disfrutarás mucho más, si es verdad que salen mucho parejas y tal y rupturas... pero puedes fijarte en los personajes, al romper son más fuertes y tratan de ser mejores, a parte de que siguen avanzando por delante y muchas cosas les suceden en cada episodio...eso sí, no te encariñes de más con ciertos personajes y disfruta mucho de todo, la verdad es apasionante esa serie, los vestidos son increíbles al igual que la estética de todo en general, la mansión y los personajes me encantan
I finally, after all these years, binge-watched the entire series, and the theme music is like a character in its own right, evoking a place and time now lost. Especially the chord that drops lower at 0:29.
My mind has never been fixated on any instrumental music like this before. Downtown Abbey's theme song is my phone ringtone ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ such a masterpiece 💓
I've always know it. I've always heard it. I even went to a theater where spiritual dances performed to this song. But I've never watched downtown Abbey. When my father was watching it I heard it and SPRINTED to the TV. I asked him what the music was and he said downtown abbey..... I have now found this heavenly piece of music
What a fabulous series this was. There is so much potential for future shows with stories of how the family survives through WWII. I would love it! Also R.I.P. Maggie Smith.
I haven't watched Downton Abbey in a very long time, but it has a nostalgia that cannot be replaced. I used to watch it with my mom lol and just the music is like being that age again.
All the months I've been currently watching the series. I began to wonder...what would it be like if Downton Abbey took place in the 21st Century? Lord Grantham threw a hissy fit about toasters, electricity and radios being in the house. Imagine his reaction when computers and cellphones are introduced. I'll bet Mrs.Patmore would have a conniption. If someone brought a microwave down into the kitchen
Gwen will contribute a laptop for a kitchen "show and tell" session. Mr. Carson will be seen experimenting with a smartphone. Branson will be managing a fleet of self driving limousines from his control room in the tower of Downton Abbey. While Daisy is still getting the blame for everything going wrong. Especially when Prince William and Kate get mixed up in gender on reassembly visiting the "Aristocratic Shed" by teleporter...
Mr Carson (talking to the staff about the new microwave that has just been delivered to Mrs Patmore), "I am led to understand, that it cooks by the use of a form of invisible light. However, while that may be well and good for some, WE shall not be cooking the lord and lady Granthams meals with it, until I can inspect this light myself. And for that to occur, I must be able to see it. Is that understood?"
Whenever i listen to this theme i just remember myself watching the first season of downton abbey 🖤 i love this series lots , even though i just watched the first 2 seasons but this serial is quite beautiful and perfect i just feel the winds hitting my face whenever i listen to it 🖤.
The driving strings of this song sound like the wheels of a train in full motion, and the melody evokes the feeling of time slipping away from you, no matter how tightly you try to hold onto the current moment.
My 17 year old daughter and I play this when we are down. It lifts our spirits and she dances to it.😀👏 We love Downton Abbey! Wish it would come back as a new series!
Wenn ich dieses Main Theme höre bin ich traurig und sogleich unsagbar frei und nicht mehr auf dem Planeten Erde. Ich finde es immer wieder faszinierend was Musik bewirken kann. Wunderschön.
While putting my baby to sleep at night I used to watch an episode or two. Then I ran out of episodes and I was trying to put my baby to sleep but she fought her sleep. I played the theme song and she fell asleep 😂 baby Abbey fan lol
SO good... after watching the series (a few times!) all I have to do is listen to this and it brings it all back. Even without watching the show, thought, this music is so lovely and emotional.
Riding a train everyday through the Hamptons while listening to this I imagine the Countess and Barrow sitting in front of me having an unexpected conversation of the current 21st century events.
@@kathieflower519 Yeah, sure, don't we all ... at some stage ... It certainly created jobs, although at what wage ? Strange enough, some remaining aristocrats are severely mourning BREXIT, as European subsidies for their estates enabled them to maintain their ageing mansions. Well, it's up to the tourists now, eroding carpets and wooden floors creating an income. After COVID-19 ...
I feel like saying "I must go" and ride a horse with urgency with a cape on my back 😂
Ha HAAA! Yes! ☝🏻👏🏻
@Lincoln Kase okay ngl thats a pretty smart advertisement, but its a shameless plug nevertheless
Hilarious!
Goodbye Pappa
No darling, have Tom drive you in the motor!
Listening to this soundtrack makes me strongly desire another Downton Abbey series.
Do you think it would be interesting if they did a Prequel to it? Maybe 5 years from now they did one of their ancestors maybe 3 generations back?
The movie is in the works so maybe we'll get lucky and they'll bring it back! I just started watching first season again on Amazon. I can't get enough 👍

@@user-em4wh5ji3w Same. I'd like to see what happened in the early years of this family as well.

For me, it was the opening scene. This theme, along with visuals of English countryside, the telegraph pole and John Bates (the most sincere character ever) watching it from the train window. 😍😍😍😍
The only intro I never skip :)
Me too got too much interested to watch downtown Abbey after listening its opening theme.
@@gouravtripathy9817 me too like to listen its opening theme everytime i watch new episode.
Same
I feel a sense of loss when I listen. An urgency for perfection and beauty, but there's a desperate note. It's hard to describe.
I've never even watched the series but listening to this made me tear up. I heard this music in the trailer and had to look it up.
0o
So poignantly observed Yes.
Right shut up
To me, it always sounds like coming home. When I first started watching Downton, I was in a very good place in my life. Happy days. I get a little choked up when I hear it but in a good way.
Exhilaration, Excitement, Melancholy, Urgency, Anxiety, Beauty, Sadness, Stillness...this theme just captures all of life's many facets so completely!
Makes me wish I was born a century earlier, eventho it means I'd live through the WW II.
My mother watched the show from 2010 until the time of her passing in September 2015. She was never able to finish the final season. My wife, daughter and I decided to watch it from the beginning soon thereafter and went through all five seasons culminating in the final season.

You should watch the second movie!! 😢 Matheeeww 😢😢😢
@@rossanaguillen1230 We did! :) Thought it was very well done.
Same! My mom passed in 2016.
I had a harder time with lady Sybil than Matthew
RIP Dame Maggie Smith, you will always be in our hearts❤❤

@@Jckbrker omg did you come up with that or is that from a book/movie? That's amazing
@@heleng3450 I came up with it. Glad you enjoyed it.
bvh8 it was brilliantly written for being spontaneously put out like that

It feels like I heard ir some where the same music.. can you tell ...especially at 1:15
This music does something to my soul that I just cannot for the life of me explain!
Perfectly described
It makes me feel sad, happy and nostalgic
me too
I actually felt saddened when this series ended. I thought, I won't get to live in this magnificent manor anymore, and I'll no longer be part of this family.
True.... alas!
I cried for weeks 😢
Rest in peace, Maggie.

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra has produced some of the finest renditions of tv and film music I have ever heard.
Downtown Abbey is the best.
+RememberThisStranger So true.
*Downton
exactly
Indeed..brother
After my first episode, I ended up watching half of the first seasons

Downton Abbey is the best series I have ever watched
Probably the most exquisite score to any television series. Beautiful, sad, nostalgic, foreboding, back to beautiful. John Lunn. What a composer!
Who’s also here because he was watching the movie and felt in love with the soundtrack ?
Same here, SAME

Wished this series could have lasted forever!! Made Sunday nights so special!!!!!!!!
I watched the series a several times and this tune makes me wanna cry and laugh at the same time. A sense of nostalgic life 🥺
six seasons of barely ten episodes each was really not enough
quality, not quantity Carmen. Nice name btw ;)
I mean it takes a long time to film an episode so if it’s 10 per season that’s 60 episodes 60 hours.
Yes. It was far too much for 14 minutes of story.
There's a movie now though so-
Each episode was VERY expensive to produce, so they had to cut it down. Nonetheless, I find it better that it's short and doesn't drag out like The Simpsons where it eventually looses its potency and becomes a weak series that barely gets my attention.
If you sit/lay with your eyes closed while listening to this music, you can feel healing occur within your DNA and Soul.
I’ve never seen Downtown Abbey but I can recognize and deeply appreciate this masterpiece of music. It’s so incredibly beautiful with hints of sadness, drama, and mystery. It almost feels like a continuous march or circling of something whether or not someone wants it to. Amazing. ❤️
I think the way you described the theme perfectly describes the series as well. It fits the show like a glove.
what a master peace..my respect.
masterpiece
I haven’t even watched Downton Abbey but I heard this once and now I can’t stop listening to it.. it’s just so strangely beautiful
Best. Show. Ever!
Did you watch The Crown? I believe it's the best ever British TV show
I am so completely blown away from this track....wow..... Beautiful!!!

Just finished enjoying ALL of this series' offerings; superbly splendid work. Now I'm suffering from withdrawal.
The ultimate getting lost in the English countryside music
I have a sense and feeling about this, but the beauty about it is that
Number one: I could sit and listen to this for hours
Number 2: it makes you enter heaven literally
Number three: you don’t know what feelings you feel when you listen to this
Anyone agree
Figuratively.
And agreed, love this song and show.
absolutely
Absolutely. It's so beautiful yet... Mysterious. Like there are secrets hidden behind closed doors in the house which, we know after watching it that there are. I just feel like there will always be secrets that will go undiscovered
Yes I do
There is healing in this music.❤️
Hearing this reminds me that culture can bloom in the vast wasteland that is today's TV programming.
Quite Right,This Is Fabulous Amongst a Load of Shit,
I feel so emotional... happy and sad and more whenever I hear this... can't explain
I remember when the show first came out. I was little and my parents would watch it together with me sometimes. The intro was always beautiful back then, and it still is now. So nostalgic

This theme plays out the story of our lives every day, week, month and year.
The struggle and the love is real.
Can’t get enough of this “feel good” theme
All characters flood to mind, as soon as you hear it 😊
Simply cosmic in every sense 😊🎶
I Absolutely Love Downton! It is a fantastic show! Great Music Great Show! Great Everything! WONDERFUL!!! JUST WONDERFUL!!!

It really is!
Im 13 years old abd i loved
this series too
I starting watching when I was 9. I'm 11 now and it's my favourite show ever (as you can tell by my name and profile picture).
Paedo Alert
Now I'm 13 and still loving every minute of the series
This was a major part of my childhood and I am 13 as well.
I myself am from Russia, but just like you, I feel nostalgia for the beginning of the twentieth century.
I'm at season 2 and I'm in love with this series! People weren't wrong nor lying when they said this series is truly one of the best out there.
Im very late to the party due to financial reasons but its a series worth the wait even if its finished now
@@Jude300c hey bud if you ever need movies or tv shows lmk. i know how it feels financially.
Wonderful film, Wonderful music.... Thank you U-Tube..
Goosebumps... every time I hear this song!
My mind has never been fixated on any instrumental music like this before. Downtown Abbey's theme song is my phone ringtone ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ such a masterpiece 💓
I love this music so much, touches my soul and Downton Abby one of my all time fave shows!❤
I've had this stuck in my head for the past few days without knowing what or where it was from and I finally found it! I don't even watch this show...
This music is heavenly...I am in a trance when the music flows beautifully through my senses.
Best soundtrack I've ever heard
I listen to this when i do dishes or clean the house. I felt truly alive the first time i heard it! I absoulutly love this song.
This song will forever have a place in my heart
Is such elegance such as Downton even possible?
That theme is amazing!.
Just a curious fact, one minute 2:34 during the piano solo you can hear the pianist's chair.
His parts probably clenching as the piano is way out of tune . . .
I’m from India and I can’t tell how much I love this show! It’s one of its kind and we won’t get another beautiful show like this!!
Visited where it was filmed yesterday.... Brilliant series

Food for my very soul . Hauntingly beautiful.♥️🤗
ahhh... Downton Abbey...
I know right!
What a fabulous series this was. There is so much potential for future shows with stories of how the family survives through WWII. I would love it! Also R.I.P. Maggie Smith.
I will elegantly clap when this plays during the Downton Abbey movie credits!!!
This theme reminds me that no matter how things are going, good or bad, life is full of twists and turns, some glorious, some crushing.
Never seen a full episode of Downton Abbey in my life, but this is a certified BANGER
Plus don't refer to a classical-style composition as a ''banger'' lol.
I just saw "Downton Abbey: A New Era" movie. Really enjoyed it - I laughed and cried at certain points. 💙😄😪👍🏾

Whenever i listen to this theme i just remember myself watching the first season of downton abbey 🖤 i love this series lots , even though i just watched the first 2 seasons but this serial is quite beautiful and perfect i just feel the winds hitting my face whenever i listen to it 🖤.
The theme much like the series goes right to the soul. Speechless. Thank you Julian Fellows, writers, cast, crew, human race. Thank you.
When I hear this music it reminds me of a fantastic series, that I think is missed by everyone.
Elegant, haunting, wistful, emotional, but speaks with surprising clarity, does this piece.
The driving strings of this song sound like the wheels of a train in full motion, and the melody evokes the feeling of time slipping away from you, no matter how tightly you try to hold onto the current moment.
Yesterday, i saw the movie! It feels really good to be here again, and hear this wonderfull music!
oh my gosh this is the most comforting tune ever, I love this show!
The melancholy and light intertwined always makes the best sound.The essence of living life in a way.
My 17 year old daughter and I play this when we are down. It lifts our spirits and she dances to it.😀👏 We love Downton Abbey! Wish it would come back as a new series!
Cette musique était à l'enterrement de mon arrière grand-mère, j'essaye de l'écouter sans pleurer car je veux revoir la serie mais c'est dur ...
Wenn ich dieses Main Theme höre bin ich traurig und sogleich unsagbar frei und nicht mehr auf dem Planeten Erde. Ich finde es immer wieder faszinierend was Musik bewirken kann. Wunderschön.
❤Downton. I'm going to miss it so much
While putting my baby to sleep at night I used to watch an episode or two. Then I ran out of episodes and I was trying to put my baby to sleep but she fought her sleep. I played the theme song and she fell asleep 😂 baby Abbey fan lol
I'm inlove with downton abby . A great team of work. Wonderful actors. And wonderful drama
SO good... after watching the series (a few times!) all I have to do is listen to this and it brings it all back. Even without watching the show, thought, this music is so lovely and emotional.
How about the movie?
@@strangerinastrangeland5314 YES, I enjoyed the movie so much, and when the music began I got teary!
Riding a train everyday through the Hamptons while listening to this I imagine the Countess and Barrow sitting in front of me having an unexpected conversation of the current 21st century events.
Nice to watch it. Hands up (honestly), who wants to work there ? Downstairs...
I'd love to be one of the family to be able to see the beautiful rooms and have someone else to clean my bathroom for once 😂
@@kathieflower519 Yeah, sure, don't we all ... at some stage ... It certainly created jobs, although at what wage ? Strange enough, some remaining aristocrats are severely mourning BREXIT, as European subsidies for their estates enabled them to maintain their ageing mansions.
Well, it's up to the tourists now, eroding carpets and wooden floors creating an income. After COVID-19 ...
There won't be another show like Downton abbey for a very long time
Heard this piece on the radio for the first time. I didn't even know it was a serie's theme. Totally going to watch it
this music is so beautiful
