Another haunting sad melody; from the great composer George Butterworth. “The banks of the green willow”. This is another piece of sad music where i have to get the tissues ready.😢🥲😒😞 its the same with another great composer Edward Elgar. His very haunting composition “Nimrod” from his Enigma variations. i cry all the time. It’s good for you in a way; considering that i grieve all the time.

A beautiful and moving tribute to a composer who had so much talent . A terrible waste of life in a terrible war.
His music lives on....❤❤❤

It hurts.
What an extraordinary personality he was. May God rest his soul 🙏🏼👏🏼💕👆🏼!
A beautiful and poignant piece of music. It was played at the Somme commemoration at Thiepval in July
Touching and thought-provoking. Beautiful video-clip. Thankyou

These are also very moving videos.
The flower of generation cut down. Who knows what this world would have become had there been no war.
Very melancohly and sad - what a waste.
Yes very moving. Such beautiful music. Xxx
