Takes me back to my childhood in Hoxton in the 1950's. Happy days! Two way Family Favourites.

@michaeljohnbooth I'm glad that you liked it. From the first time I heard it, I loved it. It was only a few years ago that I got the inspiration to join this beautiful melody with scenic pictures. Thanks for your comment.

Lovely vid and the best version of this beautiful tune. Some of the pics do look a bit surreal (almost alien!) but it has to be said, when you see what our World looks like, its positively glorious isn't it?

[jimmy2001aus]

@ebenezerhoary Thanks for the comment. I have always loved this piece, and Mantovani does it the justice it deserves.

[jimmy2001aus]

Thanks for your gracious comment. This is one of my favorite pieces of music. The Mantovani orchestra is performing in this video and of all the renditions I've heard of the melody, Mantovani's is my favorite.

'Two way Family Favourites' with Cliff Michelmore and Jean Metcalfe, mum preparing lunch. Good times

[burnell007]

Ah now what identical memories I also have, not forgetting around the horn!

[williammcgirr]

The light programme was a great raido station in the 1960 and 1970 my parents used to lisen it as well They were homesick for Old England I do believe now. 'They were IRISH' who had worked in Old England in the 1950 . This song rekindles all of my memories of that Era

[Leazesenders]

This reminds me of sitting at the breakfast table in the early 1950's with my beautiful Mam...This music was always on the Light programme...Thanks for posting it!

[jimmy2001aus]

Thanks for the props. I'm glad you like it.

Peace

[58baza58]

Thanks a lot for both your replies Jimmy2001aus they have been very useful.

[58baza58]

Does any one know of a c.d, with this music on please.

[SrGoldenHair]

baza, I have an old tape of Australian artist (I think) singing this. She is Suzanne Clachair and the tape is called Barcarolle.

She has a fabulous voice and was once a support act for Julie Iglesias when he came to Australia on tour.

[58baza58]

Thankyou very much for your reply, your comments are very interesting.

[58baza58]

brilliant music and video

[jimmy2001aus]

Thank you.

[jimmy2001aus]

This piece of music was composed by Ronald Binge for Mantovani in 1952.

[drecords0]

Can anyone confirm weather or not that this piece of music was written for the coronation of HM Queen.

[jimmy2001aus]

In several references I checked, nothing is mentioned about it being composed for the Queen. Wikipedia says that Elizabethan Serenade was composed for Mantovani in 1952 by a british musician/composer named Ronald Binge. There are works of art and music relegated to a period of history known as the Elizabethan period (1558-1603), and I believe that this lilting melody reflects the type of music popular during that period.

[KneeltjeKnoedel]

thx.. this please me, this make me smile

and feel good

luv you Elisabeth

[bagodarlin18]

whenever our band performs this piece we always get standing ovations..... just superb music

[jimmy2001aus]

Thanks for the comment. I'd like to see a video of your band performing this beautiful piece of music. It would make a nice project for you and get you some internet exposure. Whaddaya think?

[bagodarlin18]

[BloodnokVC]

Thanks for the comment. Ahh, Ireland what a beautiful place. Never been there, but I have enjoyed pictures and videos of the "Emerald Isle". I will visit someday.

[Novacelsus]

Beautiful images ... but WHAT A MELODY!!

Truly a divine piece of music, thanks for uploading!!

[jimmy2001aus]

I am totally with you on the melody. The music alone, without the visuals makes me feel good. Thanks for the comment.

[endofdays5767]

I like mantovani music, thx

[jimmy2001aus]

There is a lot of it around! He was one of the pioneers of what was once referred to as "Elevator Music", now referred to as simply beautiful music.
