John Foulds: April - England

[saunders2159]

You may like to know that my first upload ever is of Foulds' Keltic Lament, which I have seen categorised as 'light music' but is a most moving piece

I can't say how happy I am to see such a beautiful piece on YouTube by a cruelly neglected British composer :)

Let's hope the inclusion of some of John Foulds's music in this year's Proms will bring him a much greater degree of recognition than heretofore. He was a contemporary of Vaughan Williams, and the first theme in this piece is not unlike something RVW might have composed, but in the middle contrapuntal section I believe I can detect the origins of what guys like Tippett & Rubbra were to draw upon in their works.

I add my thanks for uploading this lovely piece, it's so evocative of England in the spring :-)

Thanks for uploading this. Will hear the piece live at the Proms in August with Hallé. Did not know what to expect, sounds nice..

There are some amazing discoveries in music on here, and this is one of them.

Many thanks for putting this up! Only John Foulds I can find on youtube. You don't happen to have Dynamic Tryptic do you?!

[JoricioCagel]

I'm glad someone knows about John Foulds! Yes, I have Dynamic Tryptic, so if I find time, I will upload this in the next days.

That would be fantastic! Many thanks!!
