My parents once lived in a community house where they sang it at the end of every meeting, and for some reason called it the "Turkey Song." I recently became a Methodist, and "I am the Lord of the Dance" is in the hymnal, and I find it appalling! Seriously, who came up with these lyrics and thought they were a better idea than the original ones?Emily Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09923389701099184778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-76266468801917100172010-10-13T16:57:31.747+01:002010-10-13T16:57:31.747+01:00Yes very interesting speech

Yes, it seems widely agreed now it was Chief Justice's fault. This is fast becoming the least accurate post I've ever made, which is a shame, because it's also one of the most pompous and snarky, and everyone hates it when pomposity is pricked, don't they? <BR/><BR/>The BBC voice-over, though.

I'm not, I'm from Hartlepool, but I felt like I wanted to join in. <BR/><BR/>Having watched the speach through twice I think Obama (first of last name?) has a gift for rabble rousing. Its all in the timber of his voice. Its not so much what he's saying as how he's saying it.<BR/><BR/>And his daughter taking pictures of him during his speach.

In my defense, in the symphonic version of <I>Appalachian Spring</I>, the piano is way at the back, being just a supporting instrument.<BR/>Ignore the following if it really isn't your thing (I don't know how you feel about the classical repertoire), but here's how the <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiLTwtuBi-o" REL="nofollow">"Simple Gifts" section of the piece</A> sounds with full orchestra. <B>However</B>, my very favourite part of the piece is <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RXLwtvGH9c" REL="nofollow">the opening</A>. If you're not familiar with <I>Appalachian Spring</I>, and can spare eight minutes, I implore you to have a listen. You'll probably recognise it in short order, and I think it's just one of the most beautiful, dynamic and joyful pieces of music ever written.<BR/>But that's just me...<BR/><BR/>Oh, and we're familiar with the song "Lord of the Dance" in Canada, but I don't think it's quite the staple that it is in Britain.Persephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560178981320189795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-58594149914863506522009-01-21T08:26:00.000+00:002009-01-21T08:26:00.000+00:00Greg - Oh, didn't you like it?

Don't think just because you've elected me it's all going to be fine again, because it's not, for ages, and that's not my fault', it was rather good.<BR/><BR/>Persephone - Oh dear. That feels like something I ought to have known, and/or could have found out with very little effort. Sorry. All I can say in my defence is that, from the sound of it, neither Mr Carter nor Mr Copland's apple fell very far from the tree. And I don't know if 'Lord of the Dance' is as much of a staple in Canadian primary schools and youth groups as it is here, but if it is, you'll understand how, for a philistine, the effect was rather like hearing Ma and his colleagues play variations on 'The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round'...<BR/><BR/>(I definitely counted four instruments, though. Or does one not count the piano?)John Finnemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256463878193280694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-67173400378261003622009-01-21T00:36:00.000+00:002009-01-21T00:36:00.000+00:00"Lord of the Dance" by Sydney Carter (published in..."Lord of the Dance" by Sydney Carter (published in 1963) is adapted from the Shaker hymn "'Tis a Gift to Be Simple", lyrics <B>and</B> melody written in 1848 by Joseph Bracken.
