In the book entitled THE COWBOYS the author (William Dale Jennings) writes in A Western Glossary : Vivaldi-Of course, it doesn't belong here, but the "prettiest little old song you ever heard" (p. 79) is the theme of the second movement of Vivaldi's Concerto in D Major for guitar and orchestra. It puts the West into melody like no Yankee ever could or will.

@Eris1Lobo [2 of 2] However I don't even know the name of that Clannad song, and I've searched throughout YouTube. Maybe I'll have to play the melody on a piano, share the recording, and ask if anyone recognizes it. I say it was a concerto because it has a piano with orchestral accompaniment. I know classicial music VERY well. I'm an ACE at identifying things, even obscure pieces...but this one has me stumped. I heard it only once in my life.

@Eris1Lobo - [1 of 2] - I know how you feel. I once heard a piano concerto on the radio. I don't know its title, composer, or performer, but I clearly remember the melody, and I've sought this piece for 40 years. I know that it wasn't written by any standard name in classical music, since I've heard almost everything out there. I once heard a song by the Irish group Clannad that had a similar melody, and I wondered if they borrowed from the concerto I want. (Cont.)

I heard this piece the 1. time for over 20 years ago as an intro to a danish television program, I was very young at the time and didnt think much about it... Then last Sunday, while laying on my sofa with huge hangovers, I was listening to this radio program that I really never listen to. To weak to change channel and there it was... My God its beautiful... Pretty sure it made that Sunday a little less painful... Grazia Maistro Vivaldi 8o)

@Eris1Lobo Your comment resonated with me..
It was Sesame Street for me back in the early 70's.It was played during, for what I can remember, a wild urban garden short.
Although raised in a classical household it took over 20 years to reconnect with it. I too, reacted the same.
Thank-you for posting.



I love your expressive style. Your articulations give the piece a rubato sort of feel. Quite excellent.

I heard this song in 1976 as a child watching the summer Olympics. For 34 years, I’ve passionately searched for it in hopes of hearing it again.
Tonight I stumbled across a list of classical-guitar pieces I didn't know, then found this page on YouTube -- and I began to openly weep as the song I had sought all my life came pouring so beautifully into my heart and soul.
The tears of joy didn't stop until long after the last notes faded away. Thank you so very, very much for posting this piece.
