Majestic classical music set to some space clips I cobbled together.
Elgar wrote this piece for his friend Augustus Jaeger, who encouraged him to continue when about to give up composing in a fit of depression...

  • Great job, man, and it does the most important thing of all: disassociates this marvellous piece of music from military connotations. Elgar was a romantic who loved the countryside, not war. Your video captures the universality of his great Enigma suite much more than pictures of Churchill and the Union Jack ever could.

  • @Landscapistry Thx man - much appreciated :D

  • My dear Lord...keef1212...what you've done here really makes this music the UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE>....Oh how wondrous, how inspiring, how magnificent, how beautiful, how breathtakingly magnificent!!!!! I love this! Thank you so very, very much! YOU TUBE too!

  • @kasha1932 Many thx for for your (and others) kind words, tho all credit must belong to the composer.

    Credit also to conductor Sir Adrian Boult (1889 – 1983) who championed Elgars often neglected music and produced the classic version heard here.

  • Anyone know where I can get hold of the DVD, Elgar: The Man Behind the Mask, was on BBC 4 a while ago I caught it in the states was a great programme. Anyone help me ou,t would be greatly appreciated.

  • @missjacko1

    I have the documentary in HiDef and would upload to YT, but already got 2 'strikes' so can't risk it...

  • Elgar did'nt die. The gods of music grew envious of the mere mortals for keeping him to long. So they recliamed him.

  • Beautifully put together!! Perfect graphics for such heavenly music. Thank you. Cecilia

  • This basic theme was used as the background music for a great, unfortunately mostly forgotten film, "Young Winston" with Simon Ward in the title role, who did a magnificent job of portraying just that...a young Winston Churchill.
