A Symphony for Yorkshire is one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by the BBC in God's Own County. With an original, specially commissioned score by composer Benjamin Till the Symphony showcases the skills of two hundred and fifty musicians from all over Yorkshire. It's dramatic, quirky, inspirational and fun - it's a celebration of Yorkshire's musical talent as well as the county's glorious locations. For everyone who volunteered to take part, the Symphony was an unforgettable journey.

I am very proud to say I am an amateur musician who took part in this, so to all those who have written lovely comments about the end result and/or the beauty of Yorkshire, thank you. Auditioning was nerve wracking, and arranging studio recording and filming for everyone involved must have been a nightmare for the people who organised everything. The few who choose to criticise this work, well that's your right, but it's a shame you haven't GOT what this was really all about.
Can't believe this is a decade old already. Still as lovely as when I first heard it.
I found this beautiful film after someone suggested 'Sing a Song for Yorkshire' as a poem for a proud Yorkshire friend's funeral. Wasn't Doreen so lovely!
Beautiful. It made me cry with happiness. I realise once again how beautiful Yorkshire is, from the streets of Hillsborough to the picturesque Abbeys and moors. Benjamin has a knack for being able to create something very special in his work. He unites diverse communities, boosts confidence & makes people feel proud & positive about their lives. Just look at all their faces, being part of this is special. Nevermind the BBC, Benjamin should be available on the NHS.
Moved from London to Yorkshire 25 years ago. I had no idea then that a place could be held so preciously in the heart. This piece is a moving tribute to Yorkshire as I know it: tradition and variety, beauty and grit hand-in-hand.
It's indeed a great piece of work. Although as a foreigner I have never been to Yorkshire, after watching this video I told myself I will definitely travel to UK again, to Yorkshire. and I have watched this video for more than 10 times. I love it very much!
"When I've done my roaming
And when my step grows slow.
When heart and mind assure me that it will soon be time to go,
Then let me rest in Yorkshire.
For it's there I want to lie.
'Neath the sun and the wind and the heather and a gleaming Yorkshire sky."
Beautiful words that never fail to bring tear to my eye.
RIP Doreen
Vive le Yorkshire
Enjoying this as an Exiled Yorkshireman, on Yorkshire Day ' 2019. Beautiful. Thankyou Doreen Brigham, Benjamin Til and all Tykes associated with it.
A a member of one of the acts involved in the project, I can confirm that much time and effort went into this. The whole point of this was to celebrate the people, culture and landscape of Yorkshire, creating a musical piece inspired by all the above - which is exactly what was achieved. Open auditions were held, so the final result is from the Yorkshire acts that were seen and naturally, there was a wide range of musical ability. Disappointing to see bigoted comments here, but not surprised.
A happy 100th birthday to the glorious Doreen Brigham, who wrote the beautiful words for the last movement of this work. It was a thrill to be able to set them to music and you are a huge inspiration to Yorkshire folk across the world.
Made me homesick for the first time in years. Colin in Auckland, NZ.
And many thanks to all the wonderful people who helped to make this film so special
The rapper you talk about was a joy to work with, and probably one of the most professional people we had in the recording studio. I think he did a grand job. The person who created the issues in the studio doesn't actually feature in the film because she didn't show up to the filming. We waited for her, called her... nothing. A real shame, because we turned down many talented singers to give her the chance.
i saw the program on the bbc when i was on hoilday an im glad i got to see the full song, it truly is lovely and does seem just like i always pictured it in my mind. my dad is for yorkshire and has always told us about it, i'm hoping to go there myself onday.
An amazing piece of work. Always a pleasure to work with such a talented composer, please carry on Ben!
Champion!!! No greater praise from a Yorkshireman, who has not seen his native shores for many a year.
really feeling the yorkshire pride right now
Breath taking scenery,Fantastic musicians and wonderful filming..A very colourful TRIP..Thank you all who joined this PROJECT..........................from Germany
Well done Benjamin.
A fantastic mix of characters...proof that all ages and cultures can work together and produce some brilliant work.
There are some really talented people in this country, if only they get the chance to shine...and you do seem to have the ability to open those doors.
As a Yorkshireman, now in France, I love this, and it makes me want to return to our Great County. Those egmatic words from Doreen, in the 4th Movement, sent a shiver down my spine.
It's hard to find the words to describe this brilliant and inspirational work of art. So, I'll just say THANKS.
That were reet grand!
Champion Lad, Champion!
I really enjoyed taking part in this and am chuffed to little mint balls with the results. Good to see Shepherd Group Brass Band there.
The enjoyment of this is increased enormously by (first) watching the programme "The making of A Symphony for Yorkshire" It's on the BBC i-player. (I actually think it's better than the finished article!)
the land of Tykes!! Beautiful
"A Symphony For Great Britain", what a great idea! I don't know who could do it better than Benjamin.
Oh and before the comments start, I'm from Doncaster originally, now live in Hull, which is part of the East Riding of Yorkshire. And with regards to the composer, it was always clear that he made sure this project was about the people of Yorkshire, not about him. However, you might be interested to find that he learnt and studied his craft in Yorkshire.
Bravo
ENCORE!
@Nellinho4565
No, it's not just you. Am a proud Yorkshireman, and I too get a teary eye when I watch it !!
Wonderful performance and All Great Artists.
I am Proud to call Yorkshire my HOME.
amazing !! what an eclectic mix showing yorkshire , and its folk at their best !!
Yorkshire.
Flying a big White Rose up here in Scotland!!!
Loved it for its celebration of al that makes up Yorkshire. I wish that Annie Hinchliffes
Yorkshire Day Anthem composed and written in 1992 and played at the Yorkshire Society's Yorkshire Day Service every year since, could have been included somehow. It too is a celebration in simple words and a music of our beloved Yorkshire. Both pieces will live a long time.
Dont this make the hairs stand up on the back of you head with pride.
well done to all concerned.
Roger :Sunny Sheffield
Awesome!
If I wasn't a Yorkshireman already I'd want to be one after watching this!
This video got 454.27 hits a day when released in 2010. It now gets 14 a day or less. I have no opinion either way regarding its artistic merits. I'm merely interested in the stats. The number of comments has reduced to about two or three per month. I know the BBC in Yorkshire originally said this was to be played every Yorkshire Day. The stats are open to interpretation. I think most works are played more when they first appear but should the annual repeating increase a work's popularity?
Inspirational, and very moving. Bit of a tear to the eye moment at the end. Congrats to all involved.
It is beautiful music! I love it!
Just lovely.
Amazingly sensitive. Incorporating so many people and melodies it captures the essence of the county. That the BBC didnt show it after such great effort by so many people was very spiteful.
Andy harpist it was shown on a special episode of Look North
Hardly a worthy platform, and after some agonising I think.
@@andyharpist2938the flagship news programme for the region?
@@danielthompson4463 A news report and extract . Hardly a proper audience for an inspired 15 minute creation involving so many contributors! Just a surly admittance that was forced upon a local BBC station even then beginning to want to re-write history by writing some out..
@@andyharpist2938 how was Look North rewriting history?
They showed the piece in its entirety.
By Eck i ad forgoten ar bloody lovely Yorkshire wimmen ar
I love this symphony for the famous broad acres of my beloved Yorkshire. Perhaps I missed it but I would have liked the symphony to include an element or phase that clearly acknowledged and celebrated the cultures of Yorkshire people of Asian descent - some bangla perhaps. Then it would have been quite perfect.
I particularly like the third movement. That's amazing.
To fuse together so many different musical styles into a cohesive, beautiful and moving elegy to Yorkshire is extraordinary enough. To then film it on such a grand scale (and I'm guessing on a tiny budget) represents a breathtaking achievement. The composer Ben Till has my huge respect and admiration, as does the production team behind it and all who took part.
What next - a Symphony for Great Britain?
just awesome
I loved being involved with this
living in the Philippines and born in Leeds i miss Yorkshire wish mi wife was allowed to come and live there but the government have put too higher cost for a resident visa for a pensioner beautiful music and scenery
WOW this is amazing! I would love to go to Yorkshire, but I hardly have time to go anywhere. The bell guy is so skilled i'm gonna beg to go! :)
I like this, but I love the third movement particularly.
awesome
6 mins 34 just moves me dont know why
23 Lancastrians Watched this video.
are you one?
second movement the best
@damezon Has to be the most moving part of the symphony. Beautiful.
that was ace thankyoy to all x x
The twins in the cameo photo (also featured at 16:12) are now both professional musicians. This was a fun project to be part of! 🎶🪈🎶📯
Que pasó ahí? parece que unos colombianos andan perdidos en un pueblito Inglés jeje. Felicidades y que gusto que representen a nosotros los latinos :).
Ignacio (México)
Uterly amazing!
@katasaifa
It's not about political correctness at all. I also loved this wonderful symphony. It is my right as a free Yorkshireman to express my viewpoint without being castigated by someone who hasn't even met me. The Asian community in Yorkshire is large and strong. I would also like to inform you that Benjamin Till himself wanted to reflect Asian culture more obviously in the symphony as he kindly informed me by e-mail but sadly suitable response to the original advert didn't happen.
Awesome =D
I used to go to Saturday Morning pictures at th Hyde Park Picture House.
Circus Envy were only involved in the third movement, but yeah I hear a bit of that in there too.
Is it my imagination (because I'm Irish), or does the second movement seem to have a rather Irish theme? It reminds me of my beautiful niece, Catherine, who lived in Leeds for a time and whom I visited there 20 years ago, and who died last year at the age of 46...
Very nice......
thats my mate singine at 12:29
@katasaifa Hear hear!! Well said
If Benjamin Till wasn't more talented than anyone Yorkshire could muster, why was he hired to compose "A Symphony For Yorkshire"? I don't know why he bothered coming north if this is all the thanks he gets.
@tanyadawnify If Symphony for Great Britain is next on the cards then count me in. I watched his Tyne & Wear Metro musical and was gutted I wasn't involved. I am new to Ben's work but I'm with the ones who are saying "nice work". I liked the way so many diverse cultures were also represented in the Yorkshire symphony. Not sure what the language was they used at the start but it seemed to really fit very well. If this musical were being sold on Ebay, I'd give it the A++
very nice
@birstallglenn because of an unexpected modulation to a well chosen minor key.
yeah i love this video and im so happy to be in ! my boyfriend and me are kissing at 16.22!!! great moment ! and as well... well done everybody for this beautifull video !!! laure
can I find the chords for this anywhere?????????????????
And what a fine job you made of kissing him!
I haven't been this moved since My Lovely Horse.
14:30 lol
not only you
@dravidwake I think you may have got it all wrong! Dont tar all of us with the same brush
how can the bbc go to the north and still not find any working class LOL
Crozier, pray tell me... what is a REAL Yorkshire musician?
1:00 - 7:59 - Great
8.00 - rest - Oh dear.
@boyleover I know for one what it really IS about . And its not what it says in the title.
the way this countrys going this could be banned, too racist!!
Well done on getting worked up about something you made up.
If Yorkshire had anyone capable of doing anything as brilliant as this, they wouldn't have had to go outside of the county to get the necessary composition and directing skills. I'm sure the BBC would have loved to have hired someone local but obviously the skills just don't exist in Yorkshire.
