can anyone tell me who made the music??

[phil7lx]

It's Greig's, "Solveig's Song" from his Peer Gynt Suite. I had to modify the piece slightly to get it to fit the video. You can also get vocal versions. There are lots of examples on iTunes.

Please support Joanna Lumley's Gurkha campaign. Google 'Gurkha Justice Campaign' to join up.

A great video of one of the most fabulous phenomenas of nature.

You should have left the original commentary by Joanna Lumley, it was profoundly moving.

I watched but sadly didn't record this programme to get this moment.

She waited 60 years to see this and was profoundly moved as was most of the UK as Joanna is much loved and held in high regard.

I was so glad for her, as she said, "it's as if it new she need to see it", and we learnt how much she needed to see it.

Peace

You can find this same clip with the commentary on other postings. I thought to do it a bit differently though and highlight the music, as the visual effect is not anywhere near as good as on a bigger TV screen.

This was one of my favorite programmes of all time, just the most magical moment when Joanna gets her lifetimes wish to see the Norther Lights. I love everything that she does and respect her enormously for forcing the government to backdown regarding the wonderful Gurkha's disgusting treatment, she almost single handedly brought this about, what a feat!!!! What a woman!

She was great...She looked genuinely honoured to be there, seeing it. I thought that my heart was going to stop. Her reaction gave me a lump in my throat...Beautiful Beautiful Programme. x

@mari14b Hi Mari. The Northern lights can be seen in the northern hemisphere which means Norway, Finland, Sweden, Ialand, Alaska, Canada, Russia. But it can also sometimes be seen further south when the activity is high enough. From my website( found trough my channel here) you can find arcticles about the light

I live in norway, is that the only country with "nordlyset", or is there other countries that got it? :)

@cutekitty69 Damn +1. Quite the scene. I could stare them all night long without falling asleep.

this dvd was such a fascinating and emotional journey i'd never watched anything like it. The moment Joanna finally finds her northern lights, and together with the Solveig's Song playing in the background completly captivated me, it truly was magical. I was once promised to be taken to see the northern lights by a very special person, hope i still get to see it, once in this lifetime.

What a spellbinding experience! I would so love to see the Northern Lights - perhaps one day, who knows ...
