For me, it was the opening scene. This theme, along with visuals of English countryside, the telegraph pole and John Bates (the most sincere character ever) watching it from the train window. 😍😍😍😍
The movie is in the works so maybe we'll get lucky and they'll bring it back! I just started watching first season again on Amazon. I can't get enough 👍
Matthew Machanda Id like a series about the very first Earl of Grantham. Downton basically showed the final age of the aristocracy. I’d like to see this family’s beginning
To me, it always sounds like coming home. When I first started watching Downton, I was in a very good place in my life. Happy days. I get a little choked up when I hear it but in a good way.
My mother watched the show from 2010 until the time of her passing in September 2015. She was never able to finish the final season. My wife, daughter and I decided to watch it from the beginning soon thereafter and went through all five seasons culminating in the final season. When the movie came out in 2019, a large group of us went and saw it. This show and the fantastic music will always remind of me of my wife, and of course, my mother.. Wish I could have watched it with her. I remember her frequently talking about it. And that someone dying was very shocking.. ah, Matthew..
This song makes me feel like I'm flying over grassy summer hills... But there's an air of danger and urgency there, too. Hmm... hard to put into words. Maybe this will help: Pretty sure I cried the first time I listened to this. haha It's just so overwhelmingly beautiful at times.
Caoimhín Well that's not surprising given that imagery was the purpose of the music. The strings pulsing underneath the whole piece are supposed to be the locomotive from ep1 flying through the grassy countryside--the melody is meant to be the ominous danger of the telegram with the Titanic news being sent across the telegraph wires. And the resolution when the pulsing strings stop is meant to be the camera fixing on the panoramic view of Highclere castle, where the music mellows out and loses its pulse.
'I remember seeing the hills roll by as the train pressed on through the English countryside. The urgency of the coal powered engine matched my own as my fingers drummed the letter resting on my lap. "Come home Rupert. Your father has taken ill and has requested you." It had been may years since I had last been home but now I headed back. Back into the home I had left in disgrace all those years ago.' Is this the kind of mood it gives you?
The fast tempo of the violins make the urgency, and also the feeling of time slipping by. The eighth note of the main theme ends on an A, making the sadness, anxiety and danger, a suggestion of the time period (war). The c major scale it is set in also gives a sense of nostalgia and belonging. I don't know much about music but this is what I could take from it. I love this song but it also scares me in some way and I'm not sure why.
A very good description, and i'd like to add that the fact that the time is 12/8 instead of the regular 4/4 creates the feeling that the beats last slightly more giving part of the anxiety filing. (I notice it more in the first notes that instead being 4 quarter notes are 4 doted quarter notes.)
@@HiddenTalent_07 its the austere elegant chords of the strings, mixed with the familiar bowing of the Cellos and Contrabass giving that urgent background back-and-forth, mixed with the piano, harp, and other accompanying melodies. 1:53 does it for me, my favorite melodies always have this note system to it, you can even hear the background chords change to fit the sadder note there. Its a little more curious than just the main melody before it.
Ahhhh... My favourite tune! I had the privilege of doing a private tour at Highclere Castle this September. What an amazing experience it was. I highly recommend it!
Lucky you Kamini....would u be able to share photos? My id is openspaces.bangalore@gmail.com I co miss this saga...nothing like it has ever hit tv after...and here in India. Star World didn't put up the last season....idiots
I watched the entire series and movie with my mom over the span of less than a year. She didn't understand why I would want to watch it, but not only was I able to spend time with my mom and build inside jokes and memories with her, but also able to experience such a lovely story. Everytime I hear this I smile and get a little teary eyed
I did the same thing with mom and dad. I knew she liked the show so I bought her the full series on disk for Mother’s Day. We ended up watching the whole thing over the next year and a half.
I actually felt saddened when this series ended. I thought, I won't get to live in this magnificent manor anymore, and I'll no longer be part of this family.
Anyone else love the dissonant tone between the chords? They paint a picture of a place that's trying to be elegant but is covering up very dark secrets.
I think it’s like the contrast between how the family is struggling to maintain tradition in a time of extreme change. They’re trying to keep themselves as a model aristocratic family but life changes as monarchies get overthrown , the ruling class becomes less influential, and industrial society settles in.
Always reminds me of the show's intro, the bell ringing, the out-of-focus maid going up the stairs, the trials and tribulations of the people, and blanketing it all, a nostalgia for a time period I never lived through.
I'm 12, and in love with the series and soundtracks. I don't think any word in the English dictionary could possibly describe the beauty of how the song sounds! Nevermind describe the feeling it causes! This song makes me feel like I was there, at the time... the early 1900s, witnessing all the events that happened THROUGH MY EYES instead of a television screen!
I binged this series in a couple of weeks when I was off, but never skipped this music at the beginning as it was so lovely to hear every time. This isn’t as good as the original score
I’ve never seen Downtown Abbey but I can recognize and deeply appreciate this masterpiece of music. It’s so incredibly beautiful with hints of sadness, drama, and mystery. It almost feels like a continuous march or circling of something whether or not someone wants it to. Amazing. ❤️
Each episode was VERY expensive to produce, so they had to cut it down. Nonetheless, I find it better that it's short and doesn't drag out like The Simpsons where it eventually looses its potency and becomes a weak series that barely gets my attention.
I'm not able to put in words on what I'm feeling while hearing this..the emotions are so many.. they're just mixed...but the most prominent one is feeling like I belong to them..to be a part of that family...be a part of their legacy...their pride,...and I don't know it is just a beautiful piece of art.. perfectly put together
I wasn't even a big fan of this series, I just find this theme song incredibly beautiful and I cannot quite put into words the feeling it evokes. Kind of a mix of nostalgia, sadness, hope, adventure, and a sense of longing all at the same time.
I remember when the show first came out. I was little and my parents would watch it together with me sometimes. The intro was always beautiful back then, and it still is now. So nostalgic
I finally, after all these years, binge-watched the entire series, and the theme music is like a character in its own right, evoking a place and time now lost. Especially the chord that drops lower at 0:29.
Ich höre Ende und Anfang in diesem zauberhaften Stück, Eile und Dringlichkeit. Zu oft sah ich es auf RUclips Menschen spielen, die zu jung waren um zu gehen, deshalb erfüllt mich diese Musik mit Sehnsucht , Hoffnung und Loslassen. Und ich kann es nicht loslassen.
I have a sense and feeling about this, but the beauty about it is that Number one: I could sit and listen to this for hours Number 2: it makes you enter heaven literally Number three: you don’t know what feelings you feel when you listen to this Anyone agree
Absolutely. It's so beautiful yet... Mysterious. Like there are secrets hidden behind closed doors in the house which, we know after watching it that there are. I just feel like there will always be secrets that will go undiscovered
I've always know it. I've always heard it. I even went to a theater where spiritual dances performed to this song. But I've never watched downtown Abbey. When my father was watching it I heard it and SPRINTED to the TV. I asked him what the music was and he said downtown abbey..... I have now found this heavenly piece of music
I haven't watched Downton Abbey in a very long time, but it has a nostalgia that cannot be replaced. I used to watch it with my mom lol and just the music is like being that age again.
The strong, straight piano notes make me think of the Crawley's - definite and strong people. The busy string rhythm underneath makes me think of the staff mostly hidden while supporting the upstairs lifestyle. The crescendo of strings with a fuller chord before a quieter chord makes me think of the drama that occurs in their family that's followed by more harmonious times. It also makes me think of the work to get to the Abbey - often by train, then car or walking - and the relief of arriving at such a beautiful place. After a few times through the theme of the music, you hear triplets on the piano with lower notes that me me think of sinister threats the characters endure. A complete break in the theme for some rhythmic, midrange strings makes me think of adventure, especially on horseback. Other themes during the episodes are excellent. I think of the music during emotional moments between the Bateses, the string plucks when mischief is afoot, and the 1920's sound of when cast members arrive somewhere glamorous. Music played when characters are in the village makes me feel that their lives had many beautiful moments, even though the times were uncertain and hard for the staff especially. Join the music with the cinematography, the writing, the costumes, sets, and acting, and you have mini-movies that transport one to a different era and into the lives of a family and staff who share the emotions we have today. And that's why I'm on my third time through the whole series. It's escapism during a pandemic - like one they experienced.
SO good... after watching the series (a few times!) all I have to do is listen to this and it brings it all back. Even without watching the show, thought, this music is so lovely and emotional.
What a fabulous series this was. There is so much potential for future shows with stories of how the family survives through WWII. I would love it! Also R.I.P. Maggie Smith.
My 17 year old daughter and I play this when we are down. It lifts our spirits and she dances to it.😀👏 We love Downton Abbey! Wish it would come back as a new series!
The driving strings of this song sound like the wheels of a train in full motion, and the melody evokes the feeling of time slipping away from you, no matter how tightly you try to hold onto the current moment.
All the months I've been currently watching the series. I began to wonder...what would it be like if Downton Abbey took place in the 21st Century? Lord Grantham threw a hissy fit about toasters, electricity and radios being in the house. Imagine his reaction when computers and cellphones are introduced. I'll bet Mrs.Patmore would have a conniption. If someone brought a microwave down into the kitchen
Gwen will contribute a laptop for a kitchen "show and tell" session. Mr. Carson will be seen experimenting with a smartphone. Branson will be managing a fleet of self driving limousines from his control room in the tower of Downton Abbey. While Daisy is still getting the blame for everything going wrong. Especially when Prince William and Kate get mixed up in gender on reassembly visiting the "Aristocratic Shed" by teleporter...
Mr Carson (talking to the staff about the new microwave that has just been delivered to Mrs Patmore), "I am led to understand, that it cooks by the use of a form of invisible light. However, while that may be well and good for some, WE shall not be cooking the lord and lady Granthams meals with it, until I can inspect this light myself. And for that to occur, I must be able to see it. Is that understood?"
Whenever i listen to this theme i just remember myself watching the first season of downton abbey 🖤 i love this series lots , even though i just watched the first 2 seasons but this serial is quite beautiful and perfect i just feel the winds hitting my face whenever i listen to it 🖤.
Riding a train everyday through the Hamptons while listening to this I imagine the Countess and Barrow sitting in front of me having an unexpected conversation of the current 21st century events.

Hilarious!

No darling, have Tom drive you in the motor!
I remember this theme was all it took to convince me to watch Downton Abbey.
For me, it was the opening scene. This theme, along with visuals of English countryside, the telegraph pole and John Bates (the most sincere character ever) watching it from the train window. 😍😍😍😍
The only intro I never skip :)
Me too got too much interested to watch downtown Abbey after listening its opening theme.
@@gouravtripathy9817 me too like to listen its opening theme everytime i watch new episode.
Same
Listening to this soundtrack makes me strongly desire another Downton Abbey series.
Do you think it would be interesting if they did a Prequel to it? Maybe 5 years from now they did one of their ancestors maybe 3 generations back?
The movie is in the works so maybe we'll get lucky and they'll bring it back! I just started watching first season again on Amazon. I can't get enough 👍

Well your wish has been granted! The movie is releasing next year.
@@user-em4wh5ji3w Same. I'd like to see what happened in the early years of this family as well.
I feel a sense of loss when I listen. An urgency for perfection and beauty, but there's a desperate note. It's hard to describe.
I've never even watched the series but listening to this made me tear up. I heard this music in the trailer and had to look it up.
0o
So poignantly observed Yes.
Right shut up
To me, it always sounds like coming home. When I first started watching Downton, I was in a very good place in my life. Happy days. I get a little choked up when I hear it but in a good way.

You should watch the second movie!! 😢 Matheeeww 😢😢😢
@@rossanaguillen1230 We did! :) Thought it was very well done.
Same! My mom passed in 2016.
I had a harder time with lady Sybil than Matthew
Exhilaration, Excitement, Melancholy, Urgency, Anxiety, Beauty, Sadness, Stillness...this theme just captures all of life's many facets so completely!
Makes me wish I was born a century earlier, eventho it means I'd live through the WW II.
This song makes me feel like I'm flying over grassy summer hills... But there's an air of danger and urgency there, too. Hmm... hard to put into words. Maybe this will help: Pretty sure I cried the first time I listened to this. haha It's just so overwhelmingly beautiful at times.

@@Jckbrker omg did you come up with that or is that from a book/movie? That's amazing
@@heleng3450 I came up with it. Glad you enjoyed it.

This music does something to my soul that I just cannot for the life of me explain!
Perfectly described
It makes me feel sad, happy and nostalgic
me too

Downton Abbey is the best series I have ever watched
The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra has produced some of the finest renditions of tv and film music I have ever heard.
Probably the most exquisite score to any television series. Beautiful, sad, nostalgic, foreboding, back to beautiful. John Lunn. What a composer!
I'm 12, and in love with the series and soundtracks. I don't think any word in the English dictionary could possibly describe the beauty of how the song sounds! Nevermind describe the feeling it causes! This song makes me feel like I was there, at the time... the early 1900s, witnessing all the events that happened THROUGH MY EYES instead of a television screen!
If you sit/lay with your eyes closed while listening to this music, you can feel healing occur within your DNA and Soul.
I binged this series in a couple of weeks when I was off, but never skipped this music at the beginning as it was so lovely to hear every time. This isn’t as good as the original score
Downtown Abbey is the best.
+RememberThisStranger So true.
*Downton
exactly
Indeed..brother
After my first episode, I ended up watching half of the first seasons
I’ve never seen Downtown Abbey but I can recognize and deeply appreciate this masterpiece of music. It’s so incredibly beautiful with hints of sadness, drama, and mystery. It almost feels like a continuous march or circling of something whether or not someone wants it to. Amazing. ❤️
I think the way you described the theme perfectly describes the series as well. It fits the show like a glove.
six seasons of barely ten episodes each was really not enough
quality, not quantity Carmen. Nice name btw ;)
I mean it takes a long time to film an episode so if it’s 10 per season that’s 60 episodes 60 hours.
Yes. It was far too much for 14 minutes of story.
There's a movie now though so-
Each episode was VERY expensive to produce, so they had to cut it down. Nonetheless, I find it better that it's short and doesn't drag out like The Simpsons where it eventually looses its potency and becomes a weak series that barely gets my attention.
RIP Dame Maggie Smith, you will always be in our hearts❤❤
I haven’t even watched Downton Abbey but I heard this once and now I can’t stop listening to it.. it’s just so strangely beautiful
It makes you remember something you never experienced.
Who’s also here because he was watching the movie and felt in love with the soundtrack ?
Same here, SAME

Wished this series could have lasted forever!! Made Sunday nights so special!!!!!!!!
I work at Biltmore estate so when I drive to work I sometimes listen to this song. It takes me back to the roaring 20’s. Peace to all who read this.

Figuratively.
And agreed, love this song and show.

The struggle and the love is real.

Im 13 years old abd i loved
this series too
I starting watching when I was 9. I'm 11 now and it's my favourite show ever (as you can tell by my name and profile picture).
Paedo Alert
Now I'm 13 and still loving every minute of the series
This was a major part of my childhood and I am 13 as well.
I listen to this when i do dishes or clean the house. I felt truly alive the first time i heard it! I absoulutly love this song.
Best soundtrack I've ever heard
Never seen a full episode of Downton Abbey in my life, but this is a certified BANGER
Plus don't refer to a classical-style composition as a ''banger'' lol.
I love this music so much, touches my soul and Downton Abby one of my all time fave shows!❤
I haven't watched Downton Abbey in a very long time, but it has a nostalgia that cannot be replaced. I used to watch it with my mom lol and just the music is like being that age again.

Other themes during the episodes are excellent.

Music played when characters are in the village makes me feel that their lives had many beautiful moments, even though the times were uncertain and hard for the staff especially.

How about the movie?
@@strangerinastrangeland5314 YES, I enjoyed the movie so much, and when the music began I got teary!
This song will forever have a place in my heart
The theme much like the series goes right to the soul. Speechless. Thank you Julian Fellows, writers, cast, crew, human race. Thank you.
What a fabulous series this was. There is so much potential for future shows with stories of how the family survives through WWII. I would love it! Also R.I.P. Maggie Smith.
Goosebumps... every time I hear this song!
My 17 year old daughter and I play this when we are down. It lifts our spirits and she dances to it.😀👏 We love Downton Abbey! Wish it would come back as a new series!
That theme is amazing!.
Just a curious fact, one minute 2:34 during the piano solo you can hear the pianist's chair.
His parts probably clenching as the piano is way out of tune . . .
This music is heavenly...I am in a trance when the music flows beautifully through my senses.
This music with the imagery during the opening credits is a piece of art.
Jeremy Robarts I always thought so to lol it deserves awards in itself lol
This theme reminds me that no matter how things are going, good or bad, life is full of twists and turns, some glorious, some crushing.
I will elegantly clap when this plays during the Downton Abbey movie credits!!!
I love when composer give us a stronger and beautiful theme.
Thanks a lot, from Brazil.
Visited where it was filmed yesterday.... Brilliant series
The driving strings of this song sound like the wheels of a train in full motion, and the melody evokes the feeling of time slipping away from you, no matter how tightly you try to hold onto the current moment.
A classic is music that never becomes tiresome. This theme is a classic- a great one!
When I hear this music it reminds me of a fantastic series, that I think is missed by everyone.
Is such elegance such as Downton even possible?
this music is so beautiful
Elegant, haunting, wistful, emotional, but speaks with surprising clarity, does this piece.
All the months I've been currently watching the series. I began to wonder...what would it be like if Downton Abbey took place in the 21st Century?
Lord Grantham threw a hissy fit about toasters, electricity and radios being in the house. Imagine his reaction when computers and cellphones are introduced.
I'll bet Mrs.Patmore would have a conniption. If someone brought a microwave down into the kitchen
Gwen will contribute a laptop for a kitchen "show and tell" session. Mr. Carson will be seen experimenting with a smartphone. Branson will be managing a fleet of self driving limousines from his control room in the tower of Downton Abbey. While Daisy is still getting the blame for everything going wrong. Especially when Prince William and Kate get mixed up in gender on reassembly visiting the "Aristocratic Shed" by teleporter...
😂
Mr Carson (talking to the staff about the new microwave that has just been delivered to Mrs Patmore), "I am led to understand, that it cooks by the use of a form of invisible light. However, while that may be well and good for some, WE shall not be cooking the lord and lady Granthams meals with it, until I can inspect this light myself. And for that to occur, I must be able to see it. Is that understood?"
sadlobster1 wait till they show the episode where they introduce them to Facebook and Instagram.

The melancholy and light intertwined always makes the best sound.The essence of living life in a way.

Riding a train everyday through the Hamptons while listening to this I imagine the Countess and Barrow sitting in front of me having an unexpected conversation of the current 21st century events.
Memorable theme for a tremendous series! I miss it very much. Thanks for posting!
Great music to a great television series. Nothing here in America that matches up to this high quality tv show.
