That may not mean much if you're not a classical buff, but when you hear the tune you'll immediately recognise it. It could be the most beautiful melody by any British composer. It's a wonderful, profound, emotional hymn when you hear it sung. <br /><br />Vandalism, pure and simple.<br /><br />(was it used in Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence? - not sure, maybe not, but it was used in some well known movie anyway).<br /><br />Kip WatsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
