In many ways she was a rather ordinary person. in fact she was not beautiful not clever. nor talented*, nor was she even good at public speaking, ok but no more than you'd expect. Public speaking being her professional skill. Silence was the only defence she was allowed. And the public loved her for it. The way she stuck at it as they could wish that they them selves would. Us but on a really really good day. She invested the role with humanity not sure if Chas III has much of that to invest *apart from with horses of course, breeding or riding

@q.e.d.9112 Жыл бұрын

I was eight years old. My school was in a large old mansion and our classroom was up on the top, attic floor. I think we had been in class for only a short time after our morning break. Suddenly, we heard heavy footsteps and laboured breathing coming up the steep stairs to our class-room. The door burst open and a distraught Mrs Wass, our elderly and ample “housekeeper”, came in weeping and gasping. She pretty much collapsed into the seat that Miss Greaves (I worshipped Miss Greaves) offered her and finally blurted out, “Oh, Miss, oh, Miss. God save us. The poor King is dead.” She then burst out sobbing, couldn’t catch her breath and had to be revived with the “smelling salts” that Miss Greaves produced from her bag. Yeah! I know. Different times, eh? Needless to say, this had thoroughly captured the whole class’s attention and, after Mrs Wass had been comforted, soothed and accompanied downstairs, Miss Greaves told us all about the Royal Family and our new Queen. Then word came that we were being sent home early. I felt “ever so” grown up, buying the early edition of the evening paper instead of my tuppence worth of sweets. Mum hadn’t heard and when she, too, burst into tears I was totally non-plussed. George VI had only reigned for seventeen years but his steadfastness during the war had earned him the love and respect of my parent’s generation. He taught his daughter well and she inherited his strength of character and sense of duty. Farewell, Queen of all our lifetimes. If all you had ever achieved was to represent a personification of your realm - our nation - then your quiet purpose, modest demeanour, honest commitment and senses of both duty and humour are characteristics any nation would surely be proud to claim.

I keep stumbling across tributes to her late Majesty. Each time I think the poignancy of the tribute can’t be beaten. Now I’ve seen this and found myself moved to tears. I’m not an expert in classical music by any means. I like what I like and I can recognise certain pieces. I love Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Nimrod in particular is a real favourite, so powerful, so stirring, so deeply moving. I can’t think of anything better to have caught the mood on that evening and the orchestra played it beautifully. However, the other thing I found moving was the silence after the music died away. I’d expected tumultuous applause, but just for a moment there was nothing, as if, just for a moment, the audience were lost in the music, or, possibly, their own memories of lost loved ones. My warmest congratulations to all involved in such a wonderful tribute.

@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977 Жыл бұрын

Altough certain people does not like sad music, I think that sad music, and funeral music, can be so incredibily beautiful and likeable. A particular handful of songs come to mind, the ones played here, Lacrimosa from Mozart, and also his own personal whole requiem, Ich hatt einen kameraden (I once had a comrade) a German army song from the XIX century and the national anthems of both the USSR and Czechoslovakia when played in what I call their "funeral versions" (that is, playing them slower than usually and with all the sirens, horns, or when they still existed, steam trains sounding at full in any public places).

Nimrod was one of the pieces played on the day of Elizabeth II's coronation. It was also Prince Philip's favorite classical piece, which he requested to play at his funeral. Nimrod is one of those pieces of music that can pull a tear from the hardest and driest of stones. There are rare moments in the world of music, where pieces like these are composed that transcend taste or preference and are elevated to an almost universal level of appreciation as master pieces in their own right. They become, immaculate. Beautiful tribute
