Bampton by Fontana Shelter First of all we ‘ll listen to the wonderful masterpiece Tennessee composed by Hans Zimmer . This lovely, poignant and intense melody is the soundtrack of this tribute to Mr John Bates and Anna Bates.
Now we’re listening to the special soundtrack Sanctuary of the heart by Albert William KETELBEY, a very famous English musician who lived in Downton Abbey’s historical period.
Here are some interesting details about him and his work:
Albert William Ketelbey (Birmingham, 9 August 1875 – Cowes, 26 November 1959) was an English composer and pianist. His best-known composition is In a Persian market, a typical example of program music, in which oriental sounds and melodies are mixed with traditional European symphonic writing, to describe a Middle Eastern market scene. Other noteworthy symphonic pieces are In a monastery garden, In the mystic land of Egypt and In a Chinese temple garden.
So, our Downton friends appreciated also Haendel’s work and the famous Italian artists, i.e.Puccini…
The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Haendel.
O mio babbino caro by Giacomo Puccini written in 1918 . And performed in the series n.4 by the Australian singer Nellie Melba.
Do you remember her??? See below…
