@KateyM9 Hi Yes I agree such a cheerful piece of music ... when my brothers and sister were young my Mum always called it the cheer-up music. Sadly one of my brothers died suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday (53) and I have taken great comfort in thinking about this piece of music. I hope it can be included in his funeral!

This is RONALD BINGE a composer from Derby England

[annethequinn]

Yes it's a number by Ronnie Binge. Got many plays on BBC Light Programme in the 50's. RB proposed constructing a 'sweeping string' sound to Mantovani and it became the latter's hallmark of course. The other Ron - Goodwin - was quite a card. I saw him conduct (mostly his own) compositions in Norwich's Theatre Royal with a big orchestra in the 70's ... 633 Squadron, Where Eagles Dare, Battle of Britain, etc. His chatty commentary was very amusing, I recall.

It is ironic that such a charming and delicate melody is named after one of the most brutal ages in British History. It was not uncommon for 'criminals' 'witches' and 'enemies of the state' to be burned alive at the stake or hung, drawn and quartered in public. Henry VIII, 'Bloody Mary' and Elisabeth I were all closely related... ...and the mafia and those other well known Italians the Borgias are criticised as 'dysfunctional families'!

This version was by Ron Goodwin not Ronald Binge. Binge wrote the piece of music but this was NOT him im afraid

@ECKAngels411 Me too. I absolutely love this and have been replaying it over and over.

[ECKAngels411]

SIR RON GOODWIN - WHY WAS THIS NEVER ARRANGED

When you think of the yo yo's that have been knighted, they have never honoured the greatest british film composer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a big fan of Ron Goodwin, but this is not by him! It's by Ronald Binge. It's a cracking piece of music though. Check out Ronald Binge's 'The Watermill' as well - stunning.
