  • Fantasia on British Sea Songs - original version complete with all solos...see explanation below
    BBC Concert Orchestra
    Conducted by Paul Daniel
    Fantasia on British Sea Songs. Compilation of trad. and other songs made by Henry J. Wood for concert on 21 Oct. 1905 to celebrate centenary of Nelson's victory at Trafalgar and which became (and remains) traditional finale to Last Night of London Promenade Concerts, with the audience joining in (singing, clapping, and foot-stamping). In 9 sections: 1, Naval Bugle calls. 2, The anchor's weighed (solo tpt., solo tb.). 3, The saucy Arethusa (solo euphonium). 4, Tom Bowling (Dibdin) (solo vc.). 5, Hornpipe, Jack's the lad (solo vn., solo fl., solo piccolo). 6, Farewell and adieu, ye Spanish ladies (4 tbs.). 7, Home, sweet home (Bishop) (solo cl., solo ob.). 8, See, the conquering hero comes (Handel) (solo hns.). 9, Rule, Britannia! (Arne) (org. and full orch.). For some years the Fantasia was cut, but the practice recently has been to give it in full. Bringing a solo cont. into Rule, Britannia! was Sargent's departure from Wood's score.
    BBC Proms no.67 9/9/10

      @@danielw5850 Oh dear. Prejudice abound. I'm a Royal Navy veteran and thoroughly approve of all these 'fruits' and their japes. My sister in law has played in the proms, and many of my friends are musical, I've been in the audience plenty of times and would wave an EU flag and a British one as a proud (and economically and politically aware) remainer. If you look up the history of those who volunteered in WW1 and WW2, you'll see many 'lefties' and artistic types. While Blackadder was fictional, his character in 'Goes Forth' was a parody of the cowardly regular who was happier marching brave Tommies towards the lines whilst sitting back a few rows. Huge numbers of the less traditional officers and men who stepped forward out of their comfort zone performed with extraordinary bravery and courage in the face of uncompromising adversity when called upon by humanity to do their bit.
