- Corrections: 2:18 is "Go In and Out the Window" rather than "New York Girls"; 7:51 may be "Tom, Tom the Piper's Son" instead of "Muffin Man" (although it sounds like a combination of both tunes), and the unidentified tune at 15:27 is "Comin' Thro' the Rye".
Special thanks to Shengjun Wang for the score, and special "no thanks" to the person who decided to remove RUclips's annotation feature.
So glad to have stumbled across this! I've had the British By Arrangement CD for decades, I made a couple of attempts at creating a listing of the pieces making this up, and I thought I was maybe 3/4 complete... but I see here I probably identified less than 1/4! A lot of the in-between stuff I thought was just incidental stuff the composer wrote to blend between the different pieces, actually turns out to be short snippets taken from additional pieces. I'm dumbfounded at how many there are. Some of the transitions are absolutely brilliant! I guess I need to look up what else Mr. Tomlinson has done, I imagine there must be some other interesting works!
Congratulations! I remember having a crack at this a year or two ago and thinking I would really need the score. A lot of work - thank you and well done.
The return - after the buildup from about 16:50 - at 17:04 is just glorious.
What a magnificent effort, Rob!
We must also commend (as well as Mr. Tomlinson!) the players, for whom it must have been difficult not to carry on playing the pieces some of which they must know so well!
(Churlish to ask, but - any chance of you redoing to incorporate the corrections/additions here?)
I always think of the alternative words to ALS - "A smile is such a happy thing".
Thank you very much! Though it's unlikely that I will redo the video, as the editing timeline no longer exists. The video description will suffice, though I wish RUclips still had the annotation feature.
@@robrophside3691 Ah, I feared you might not have kept it. Thanks anyway! I do love the piece. I was bought a CD of it, on which the notes implied the performer had laboriously transcribed it from old 78s of the composer playing it - which must have been a windup, as other posts suggest it wasn't written until 1976!
