I first heard this song in the movie "While I Live" Have it on video, found it on the internet When I was young I would play the song over and over. The Luton Girls Choir do a great rendition of this beautiful song.

Would you like to post the video to the pre 1960 film group, so that everyone can enjoy it.

Thanks

Angels rarely fly this low...I hope if I get to heaven that the Luton Girls choir will be there to welcome me.

I remember my Mother listening to this on Housewives Choise as she did the ironing in the late 1940's.

The world seemed a better and safer place then.

@stupat3 , I am a young man and enjoy this music very much, I have been looking for the movie, but it is unavailable. I understand what you mean, and wonder myself why we as human race have taken such a wrong path. i think that misery has been present in every generation, but at least some decency was kept in the arts, in the way people dressed and spoke. Not anymore. Good taste is almost gone forever. I am glad that we can share these thoughts and music like this. So much beauty!

@stupat3 Yes, at least we have this beautiful music to listen to in our advancing years.. The poor younger generation will only have Lady Gaga!

@DaisyandTess Beautifully expressed.

My first time to hear this song. Dream of Olwen is my first difficult piano piece...was then a beginner in piano...was able to survive the ordeal. Nothing is impossible if one likes to learn something that will challenge one's ability. God bless.

@foxyzzzzz i remember now! It was on a 78 rpm record belonging to my parents. I used to watch the disc go round and round in our old Motorola cabinet, as I raptured in the dreamy music. I think it was by Mantovani and his Orchestra. It was also the theme song to a Saturday afternoon matinee of old Hollywood movies. I still dream of the Dream of Olwen, though I don't know the story.

Beautiful! Thank you rumwa10 for posting, and thank YOU runupahill1 for sharing!

@runupahill1 I've been haunted by it for years (I'm 64) because I had heard it as a child. It was indeed the theme song of a radio show or early TV anthology series. 60 years later I found it here at YT. Does anyone know which program used it as a theme?
