Now that the first of April is over, I have a final very smooth piece of music that you might like David.
-
I am not sure if this is the original version. The song was also released by „Ray Brown & Whispers“ in 1965. And „The Clovers“ had a song of the same name in the ’40s.

Congratulations Bill! Have a good time and I hope you find time now for all the things you always wanted to do.

Hi Jung,
you are right, the Violin Concerto by Beethoven is a very beautiful composition. I especially like the varied dialogue between violin, horns, oboe and bassoon in the 2nd movement.
In the 3rd movement, after a solemn intro, the violin alone fills the sound space and can develop all its enchanting charm. Wonderful.
Here I have another love tune by Beethoven. I think the original “Zärtliche Liebe / Ich liebe Dich” (I love you) was composed for instruments and vocals (but you are the expert Jung). Because I am not a big fan of classical singing, here is a purely instrumental version. The melody is just adorable.

We had already talked about Ricky Nelson in another topic. I don’t know if this song was mentioned there. Anyway. It’s a nice song.

Hi David,
a very nice idea. Did you have a specific timeline in mind? Otherwise, I spontaneously jump back a good bit into the past:

PS: does the video play now?

Very nice idea Diana (I’ll take the top ten from my country)
„Penny Lane“ May 1967 (no wonder I had to become a Beatles fan). I was born at home on a red sofa, because my mother did not want to go to the hospital. Maybe the song was on the radio when I saw the light of day. 🙂

I finished Highschool in April / May 1987, so it must have been one of these two songs:
„Respectable“ (Mel & Kim) or maybe „You’re the voice“ (John Farnham). A song that has sadly regained its actuality. Both songs have taken turns on the first place.

Yes, Jung and Tom, the exact demarcation of individual tribes in Europe and their precise origins is often not easy and, from today’s perspective, difficult to comprehend. Here a lot has moved in the last centuries or millennia. At that time, the description of the tribes was made by the Greeks and especially by the Romans. They considered the Germanic and Gallic peoples as barbarians and many things were lumped together. As I read so, the Celts originated from the region north of the Alps, from an area between eastern France and Bohemia. Bohemia belonged to Austria in former days and is today part of the Czech Republic (at that time already with the capital Prague). The earliest reports from Greek writers about the Celts, for example from Hekataios of Milet, tell around 500 BC that Celts lived behind Marseilles.
As a linguist once put it, “A Celt is someone who speaks Celtic.” It is possible that the Scots and Irish see it differently, but because I live on the other side of the English Channel, I can live well with this description (Irish Gaelic or Scottish Gaelic, whatever). 🙂
PS: „My Love Is Like a Red Red Rose“ and „Ready for the Storm“, beautiful music, which invites you to dream.
PPS: the couple here in the video has also gone in search of the „Celts“ and finally found what they were looking for:
-
How about some „real Irish“ again? 🙂
With a freshly tapped Kilkeney or Guiness on the table.
-
We’re all polite people, Tom. We wanted to let you go first.
-
Hi David, the bonus challenge I have smoothly overlooked. The text has hidden somewhere under the video link. 🙂
Is this second title of Ricky Nelson wanted?
-
Good idea Tom. Will you remind us, please?
PS: Oh boy. What exactly is the St. Andrew’s day? (a question from someone who lives behind the moon). I know that is one of the apostles. But then it already stops with me. You better explain the tradition to me when the time has come. Celtic music is good in any case. Then I can finally post Mull of Kentyre once.

Hi Jacki, I like listening to Celtic Women very much. The singers have great voices and the arrangements are sometimes bombastic.
