Ara that's lovely! A fine choice, and nice and delicate instrumentation.

[ironmonger100]

@smokelesscoal Thanks, I appreciate that very much :-)

[rwcrux]

really lovely - thanks- one of the few tunes I remember from primary school music class. As a complete guitar beginner I just tried picking out this tune - then came here.

[shaunoverspill]

@rwcrux Thanks, appreciate the comment very much, glad it brought back some memories for you :-)

[biggerthanacadillac]

Exquisite song, exquisite lyric all exquisitely played. William Barnes 'The Dorset Poet' [1801-1886] wrote LL as a poem in Dorset dialect in Nov. 1856 & it was RVW's first musical score in 1902.

My next-door-neighbour is Barnes' GGGGG grandson! He [WB] composed some glorious poetry.............all in D. dialect & very 'moving'........my favourite after LL being "The Clote" [the lovely yellow water lily of late summer.]

Thank You for posting ....lovely!

[ironmonger100]

@biggerthanacadillac ..Thanks for this wonderful insight from a personal level. It's such a lovely English tune but for sure I'll look into some more of Barnes's poetry. Thanks again, and I'm pleased you enjoyed my version of this.

[msf60khz]

Very relaxed performance with plenty in reserve. Excellent.

[ironmonger100]

@msf60khz ... Thanks ! .. actually played that from sight, and I think that took something away from the performance, I prefer to memorize. Glad you liked it though and appreciate the comment :-)

[theFriendlyHughes]

This gave me chills! Beautiful! You're so talented and professional. Keep spreading music to everyone!

[obscuramusic]

Alrite Shaun. Mark from Liverpool (ya know Tom's mate!!) Me lad wants to no if you can do Classical gas and can you show him next time ur up in the pool?

[ironmonger100]

@myjota Alright Mark? I've never learned Classical gas! One day... But I'll see you in the Pool for a few beers again soon.

[dalestephens1]

Bravo Shaun! I enjoyed the wonderful nuances in your style. 5 Stars

[Gangly1]

Lovely arrangement Shaun.

Very symaphetically played too.

New strings always get me in the mood too. They just never sound as good as this!

Cheers,

Paul

[ironmonger100]

Well thanks Paul, I know you have a passion for early English music. Not totally happy with this one though - sightreading always takes something away from my performance!! I may re-post. Have a good week Chuck.

[Lalitamusic]

Well Shaun you certainly have been a busy boy lately with your YT submissions, and all of them terrific (as usual of course). This is the first time I have ever heard this piece (believe it or not) but you made it a very enjoyable moment of my evening (just before bed). Thanks for that, and thanks for sharing your magic with the world.

Love

Lalita

[ironmonger100]

Thanks lalita, such a lovely comment, I do appreciate it :-) .. I hadn't heard this piece until recently but if you find a moment to listen to one or two choral arrangements of it, you'll really hear its beauty. Have a great day .. Shaun

[diamondfb]

[Luknopfler83]

Excellent, Shaun. Superb I should say!

[troubleclef]

no prob. yeah, i've got a number of recordings of the Vaughan Williams arrangement.

[ironmonger100]

A song I've never heard, from a film/show I've never heard of by a composer I don't know ... I think I owe it to us both to check that song out :-) ... have a great day Mari xx

[troubleclef]

excellent arrangement and expressive playing. always loved this tune myself.

[ironmonger100]

Thankyou Mike, I didn't expect you to have heard of a hundred year old Dorset folk song! Appreciate you watching :-)

[pederfi]

This is a wonderful tune, it brought tears to my eyes and goosse bumps all over my body. You MUST play it at the Kam Klub BBQ next June-:)

Cheers

Finn

PS Fine guitar - what is it?

[ironmonger100]

Hi Finn, great to hear .. glad you liked it! It's just my trusty old washburn - it found its way back from helsinki! See you in June?

[chris69666]

Is that a NEW guitar? Can you give us some recording tips please?

[ironmonger100]

It's just the old Washburn :-/  ... Recording? Somebody does that for me but the details of the gear she uses can be found in my channel notes.

[abhikmazumder]

That was beautiful! It is always a pleasure to hear you play.

[oldwhtman]

I love this stuff. It's always exciting to hear a good tune for the first time. Thanks, Shaun. I'll try to hum it on my way to work this morning.

[ironmonger100]

Thanks Mike, check some choral versions of this to hear its full beauty.

[Jhettzor]

Really beautiful melody. I was wondering if I could get the tab.

[mrsdelirium]

Very nice melody and beautiful performance!

[jreichbart]

Superb tone and feel! Your fan from across the ocean, Jake
