Andre Rieu - Auld lang syne 2006

"Auld Lang Syne" (old long since) is a is a Scottish poem written by Robert Burns (1759-1796) in 1788, although a similar poem by Robert Ayton (1570-1638), as well as older folk songs, use the same phrase, and may well have inspired Burns.

In any case, it is one of the better-known songs in English-speaking countries, and it is often sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. Like many other frequently sung songs, the melody is better remembered than the words, which are often sung incorrectly, and seldom in full.

"Auld Lang Syne" is usually sung each year at midnight on New Year's Day (Hogmanay in Scotland) in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, Anglo areas of India, and Canada, and signifies the start of
a new year. In the United Kingdom, it is played at the close of the annual Congress (conference) of the Trades Union Congress.
