I have to confess, I had the biggest grin on my face listening to this tune I normally take the piss out of, and yes, a tear escaped. What about you?

The trumpet counter melody is so typically Handel.

I jest I jest, however if you are interested in hearing more of Zadok the Priest here is a video showing it as the Crout-Limey intended when it was commisioned for Porgy II, keeping his Water Music in mind you can really hear in this how he shares motifs between works... or am I just taking the piss?

I must admit I am more of a Gustav Holst man myself, Jupiter truly is the bringer of jollity, plus I love Rugby Union.

Fork Handel

Err, so I was the only one that teared up then. That's that settled.

Am i just simply being a thicko, or is that a reference to an ear and the palate, in connection with fine taste in music, or are you simply klunking us all with a piece of wood taken from an object that is used to transport a 100 crates of wine ( fine wines or not) ?

Am i getting lost in the rhetoric and similes ?



I too was lost in that moment, looking for my seat behind the kolorov freekick goal on wednesday. A joyous moment on wednesday

night!

I'm still wearing my coat, so i'll be off!

More of a Wagner man myself. It's not over til the fat lady sings (or rings a bell in the north stand!)

The Overture from his Rienzi is a personal favourite, you cant beat a bit of Dick Wagner.

Indeed. If the ear is a vagina, then Dick just slides right in and explodes.

all i thought when i heard it was 'shit', as I was still legging it up Mercer way from the car parks at that point.

Made a nice background noise to the heart attack I was having, though. Must make an effort to get fit. Or just arrive at the match sooner.
