I love the arrangement, text and the images and have listened to it many times as it bring back memories of long ago. I know you love arranging and playing music but thank you for the time and effort you've put in to make it sound so good. I just wish you had a choir to sing it as the lyrics are an integral part of this iconic piece. I realise when I'm given an inch I'll ask for a mile!! Thank you for this lovely post.

ReplyDeleteYou have given us a beautiful instrumental rendition of this melody with historical notes and beautiful pictures. You play it with so much feeling. Listening to it I go back all those years when we first heard it. Thank you! From Zita
Mahen, as I said earlier in my email to you, this interpretation has a really majestic feeling. Thank you for taking the trouble to incorporate the images and the history of the song. I'm sure those who view it on YouTube will enjoy it and learn something as well!
