Yes Please

😂

I'm sorry for your loss. My parents and I too loved the British Airways ad... they are gone too.😞 We loved it also because being French, we knew the song long before it was so beautifully redone. It is "The Flower Duet" by French composer Delibes. Be safe!

@@abelis644 Thank you 🙏🌹, for your reply Reading it this morning made me so happy , I’m sorry for your loss too it’s hard when we lose a parent or parents 😞, Yes The Flower Duet which my Dad and I Equally fell in love with it’s probably “the most Beautiful piece of music “ and I would search out any Albums that included this and buy for my Dad . This was my chosen piece for him at his funeral ( one day mine hopefully not yet ) I never tire of hearing it , it takes me to a feeling of peace , when I’m listening I’ll now think of you Abelis and wish you all the love and Happiness, How lovely to be connected through a song 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 love to you , Sarah 🥀🥀🥀

Sarah, your father had great taste. Like you, i also have fond memories of this beautiful piece of music together with my dad. I've actually been in Charles Saatchi's London house, this was in the year 2000, he had Michelangelo's David's head in his dinning room, pretty bloody impressive. For a terrace house, it was massive, little did he know of my visit, a Swedish au-pair gave me a guided tour of the whole house, very trusting, we met in a bar in Piccadilly. It was a fantastic experience and memory You take care, peace, love and blessings.

@@surality Thank you so much , love to you , Beautiful reply . For the time , the words , A unique time and experience for you , and, sounds you’re always treasure 🥀 How Wonderful, With love and more amazing times to come , Sarah x 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

@@surality keep in your Heart 🌹🌹🌹

Thank you

Wow, thanks for the information! Have a good Xmas!😀

I was born in 1982🤔

Could they possibly be crediting McLearn as the arranger? You are most definitely right about the composer and the opera of this most beautiful music.

Yes, the original, very slow music came from the French opera Lakme. The modern, fast-tempo version was created by Malcolm McLearn and used for the British Airways advert.

@bushmanpm : This IS the exact track used for the famous BA tv ad. McLaren made it specifically for them/the tv ad. Although the melody is taken from part of an actually very slow piece called The Flower Duet, in the opera Lakme by Leo Delibes, (in the late 1800s). I think I have this on the 45" record release of it, which had an image of the amazing aerial view of the large group of dancers in the constantly moving 'crooked face' formation from the tv ad on the cover sleeve. That tv ad must've cost millions to make! And no CGI or remote-controlled drones involved, all real people, real exotic locations, etc.

Delibe, from lakme

Aria on air 👍

You can copy it from youtube and re-record as a mp3 or mp4, then upload your mp3s onto iTunes. I believe I used this link but do not remember 100%. In any case, there are many different links you can use which supposedly all do the same thing. I have no doubt that there are similar links, should you wish to convert to mp4. 9convert.com/youtube-to-mp3/en4

Hello :) You need to find “The Flower Duet”, by Léo Delibes - And both the original and this version are wonderful :)

Ivone Medeiros This aint Yanni ,,,!!!! Yanni stole it from Malcolm McLaren !,,,

@@ro55do : Even McLaren stole it. The melody is taken from part of an actually very slow piece called The Flower Duet, in the opera Lakme, by Leo Delibes - in the late 1800s! Much as I like a lot of McLaren stuff: stealing and generally 'being a magpie' was his true skill and specialty for his whole musical career. He was more like a producer and curator in some ways than a musician.
