All weather forecasts should be so melodious.

I loved this ever since I was a child growing up on the plain of Binghamton ,NY

[helloantonio]

Being Episcopalian, I just have to say that I LOVE THIS!!!

[optimatus]

I love the Anglican Chant and I love this one too!

[ElveeKaye]

Very beautiful. Love the very last part. "In brief, the weather will be normal for the time of year." XD

[KittyKins57]

That's hilarious, lol! :) Beautiful singing!

[KnightOwl2006]

Well, glo-bull warming is like a religion.

[Billmund]

My copy of this (with glorious colour picture sleeve) says it was produced by none other than George Martin. Not certain if it's the same one, but I don't see why it couldn't be.

[brienkmeehan]

Yes, I've talked to some of the people involved, it is THAT George Martin.

[libertyguy25]

10 out of 10 for this one. Fantastic!

[Kezax]

My dad just pointed me in the direction of this, and we're both so glad that he did! Him because he got to look smug, and me because I had the best laugh I've had in months. Thanks so much for posting!!

[octavehergebelle]

LMAO! You are crazy ... and i think i like it ^^

[linda1802]

Dankjewel voor deze tube tubeyou 18.

Hans my brother who also was an teacher of English, loved this song and was a real Anglophile. Unfortunately, he got very ill; due to a braintumor he wasn't able to teach any more and died in 1997 at the age of 48. This song makes me remember his good days. Again thanks.

[brienkmeehan]

Aha, I finally have the definitive answer! The first chant is Garrett in A flat (transposed to F. The second is Taylor in D flat, transposed to C. Third is Elvey S in G, transposed to F.

I have written out the music and pointing - visit my page by clicking on my name if you'd like to download a copy and read along!

[choirboyfromhell1]

I got the Elvey, but have never had heard of the Taylor in D flat. Not in any of my psalm books, but that doesn't mean much. I do like it! Now if they would do Howells in f.

[loonpond]

I have sent this to everyone in my choir. Our rector, a former boy-soprano at All Saints', Ashmont, will love this!

[tubeyou18a]

Glad to hear it! But your rector might also like to hear and watch my other contribution, also by the Master Singers. Search for Master Singers Highway Code. I used to be a teacher of English in the Netherlands and visit England regularly. I might come to Dorchester next as I am want to see more of Poundbury. BTW: I am also in a choir and I am sorry to find that on All Saints Ashmont website your choir cannot be heard...

[gbittner]

pardon the expression---cool!

[p3rdyp1nkr0ses]

Amen!

[katmomsinger]

Ha ha ha! Nice!

[lalagonegaga]

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Glyncorwg]

Having lived in britian many times, this is so spot on. G B in Canada

[rwsmith29456]

That's GREAT!  Weather forecast with CLASS! I'm glad I live in the southern US, though. It gets cold and rainy and sometimes ices and hardly ever snows, but it's really HOT the rest of the year.

[Graham1952]

Awesome!

[revsarey]

Oh, priceless. I remember the first time I heard this chant - a record that Carol Doran played for us in class. I'm so glad that Bob Braxton pointed this one out for me. (Thanks, Bob!) Great pictures in the slideshow. Thanks for putting this out there!

[beartard1]

"[these places] will continue to be affected by weather for several days."

Priceless.

[xsuasox]

Oh, priceless! This reminds me of my summer at St. Meinrad in Indiana where I was an intern at a Benedictine monastery. My fellow interns and I learned their chant tones and for a whole day every bit of dialogue between us was chanted. Such fun!

[mpmcd81]

Hilarious! I love the Anglican Chant. The official Monty Python weather update!

[dweeb99]

Seriously lovely and absolutely on the mark regarding the predictability of weather in the UK.

[peternw3]

yes, I asked about the weather in my old home town of Flint (now there's another f in flint (effin flint) it figures. Peter

[peternw3]

sut oedd y tywydd yn FFlint erbyn hyn?

[tubeyou18a]

My Welsh is a bit rusty, but did you ask what the wather is like in Flintshire or in Flint (Michigam)?

[ksbear2]

Hmmm... didn't know they had palm trees in Wales - LOL - Loved it!

[choirboyfromhell1]

Nor Seven-Eleven Stores in Scotland.

[ksbear2]

Or driving on the right side of the road (2:32) on the left side of the car. Still loved it, though.

[choirboyfromhell1]

Yes, I loved it as well. Have only got one chant identified, Garrett in A flat taken down step, as the first. There are at least four two-fold chants that they use.

[brienkmeehan]

No, it's 3 double chants. Patter A-B-C-B-A. I've actually written it out with traditional pointing, but YouTube doesn't want to let me post a link to it.

[choirboyfromhell1]

You're right, it's Garrett again at the end. Now to find out the other two. Working on it, but it's the busy season for us singers. Thanks.

[Woollylinnet]

The middle chant is Stephen Elvey in G, transposed down a tone. Not sure about the other one, though.

[brienkmeehan]

Ooh, yes. :-)

[Mystep]

The british have the best sense of humor in the world.

[psalmnineteen]

I just heard this on CBC radio two. Brilliant! I love it when GOOD musi-cians do funny parodies with GOOD music! :)

[RichardGregor]

Delightful!

[oleoresinous]

A marvellous piece of work. Great fun and very well done.

[hanseijsink]

Ik denk overigens dat ik toch maar weer naar Frankrijk op vakantie ga, lijkt me beter als ik dit zo bekijk. ;-)

[hanseijsink]

hartstikke leuk, keep up the good work!

[maggieohio]

This is wonderful!  I love it. First rate!
