'A Remembrance Tribute' - Alternative video version NOW AVAILABLE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klfOoglr-3g&list;=PLHfaEwZRuPkkFlHbf-axYGB1svGrp_ivU&index;=3
A rural and typically English landscape with the images set to the music of George Butterworth 1885-1916.
George Butterworth, teacher, musician, composer and collector of folk songs was one of the many who was tragically taken in the terrible devastion of the first world war. He like so many gentle sons, many of whom were poets, musicians and artists rather than soldiers at heart!
These 'unlikely soldiers' enlisted willingly to defend this land and their vision of England. It was their vision and now it is ours, with its leafy lanes, lush hedgerows and verdant rolling hills. They went to fight on some foreign field for a land they called home, to live in peace beside those 'Blue Remembered Hills' and ramble along the lovely leafy lanes. As we go forth along the rural roads and rides of old England remember those we have lost and savour while you still can that which was so sadly lost to them.
Yet their essential spirit lingers on within those who can listen and love their music prose and poetry set to the gently rolling backdrop of our still green and pleasant land.
Enjoy these images that are mere attachments to George Butterworth's lovely music that simply says it all!

Some of my water-themed photos set to the beautiful music of George Butterworth.
"The Banks of Green Willow" always conjures up a picture of a lazy summer day by a gently-flowing English river, maybe with punters languidly drifting by. Unfortunately, I haven't got any pictures like that, so I made do with holiday snaps taken locally at: Holiday Beach, Malden Park, Silver Lake in Waterloo, Stratford, Port Stanley, St. Mary's, Lion's Head, Chatham, St. Catherines and Hillsdale, Michigan.

George Sainton Kaye Butterworth, MC (12 July 1885 -- 5 August 1916) was an English composer best known for his tone poem The Banks of Green Willow and his settings of A. E. Housman's poems.
Although Butterworth was born in London, his family moved to Yorkshire not so long after his birth. He received his first music lessons from his mother, who was a singer, and he began composing at an early age. As a young boy, he played the organ for services in the chapel of Aysgarth School, where he was a pupil, before gaining a scholarship to his public school. However, his father intended him to be a solicitor, and he attended Eton College, from there continuing to Trinity College, Oxford. While at Trinity he became more focused on music, for there he met the folk song collector Cecil Sharp and composer and folk song enthusiast Ralph Vaughan Williams. Butterworth and Vaughan Williams made several trips to the English countryside to collect folk songs, and the compositions of both were strongly influenced by what they heard. Butterworth was also an expert folk dancer, being particularly keen in the art of Morris dancing.
Vaughan Williams and Butterworth became close friends. It was Butterworth who suggested to Vaughan Williams that he turn a symphonic poem he was working on into his London Symphony. When the manuscript for that piece was lost (having been sent to Fritz Busch in Germany just before the outbreak of war), Butterworth, together with Geoffrey Toye and the critic Edward J. Dent, helped Vaughan Williams reconstruct the work.[1] Vaughan Williams dedicated the piece to Butterworth's memory after his death. Upon leaving Oxford, Butterworth began a career in music, writing criticism for The Times, composing, and teaching at Radley College, Oxfordshire. He also briefly studied at the Royal College of Music where he worked with Hubert Parry among others.
At the outbreak of World War I, Butterworth signed up for service in the British Army. He served in the Durham Light Infantry as a Lieutenant in the 13th Battalion. Butterworth's letters are full of admiration for the ordinary miners of County Durham who served in his platoon. As part of 23rd Division, the 13th DLI was sent into action to capture the western approaches of the village of Contalmaison on the Somme. Butterworth and his men succeeded in capturing a series of trenches, the traces of which can still be found within a small wood. For this action Lt George Butterworth, aged 31, was recommended for the Military Cross by Brigadier Page-Croft.
The Battle of the Somme was now entering its most intense phase. On 4 August, 23 Division was ordered to attack a communication trench known as Munster Alley. The soldiers named the assault trench 'Butterworth Trench' in their officer's honour. In desperate fighting on 4--5 August, Butterworth and his miners captured and held on to Munster Alley, albeit with heavy losses. That night, amid the frantic German attempts to recapture the position, George Butterworth was shot through the head by a sniper. He was hastily buried by his men in the side of the trench, his body later lost in the fierce bombardments which followed. (The following morning the same trench was the site of Pt. William Short's (Yorkshire Regiment) act of gallantry which was to win him a posthumous Victoria Cross.)
When Brigadier Page-Croft wrote to Butterworth's family to inform them of his death, it transpired that Butterworth's family had not known that he had earlier been awarded the Military Cross. And likewise, the Brigadier was astonished to learn that Butterworth had been the most promising young English composer of his generation. The Briagdier wrote that Butterworth was: A brilliant musician in times of war and an equally brilliant soldier in times of stress.
Butterworth's body was never recovered (although his unidentified remains may well lie at nearby Pozieres CWGC Cemetery), and his name appears on the Thiepval Memorial near the Somme. George Butterworth's Banks of Green Willow has become synonymous with the sacrifice of his generation and has been elevated to an anthem for all 'Unknown Soldiers'.

Lyrics
My life is shit, shit
My life is bogus, ball
My life is trite, cry
My life is hell, hell
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?
Your life is shit, shit
Your life is strange and insane
Your life is lame, a type of crap
Your life is jail, clam
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?
Your life is shit
I'ma open myself up a flea market
I'ma open myself up a flea market
And you're gonna wish that you did
Might retire on the profits
First off, I'ma empty out all of my Mrs. Butterworth jars
I'ma put 'em on a shelf with my 800 dollar a month tax free Century 21, shop
And then I am going to put my Mrs. Butterworth syrup jars on the shelf
Next to all the commemorative fast food chain glasses and cups I've accumulated over the past 62 years
Then I'm going to get some plywood
I'm going to get some plywood and cut them up into two by two piece squares
Then I'm going to get some burlap and I'm going to cut them into two by two piece squares and then I'm going to put them onto the pieces of plywood
And then I'm going to go to the beach
I'm going to go to the beach and I'm gonna collect some shells and driftwood
And then I'm gonna take the shells and driftwood and glue them onto the plywood and burlap
And sell 'em for lots of money
People will be paying top dollar for my kids new used new toys and clothing
Then maybe someday I can get rid of that piss stained mattress I've been sleeping on
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, we'll start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?

George Butterworth: A Shropshire LadGeorge Butterworth: A Shropshire Lad
[From a Naxos disc entitled "Flowers of the Field". The London Mozart Players are conducted by Hilary Davan Wetton.] This orchestral rhapsody is one of the few works George Butterworth did not destroy before he went to France to serve in the Great War of 1914-18. He died at the Battle if the Somme in August 1916 and, though he received a hasty battlefield burial, his remains were never recovered for a more formal burial. He was posthumously awarded the Miltary Cross. I made this presentation at the end of June 2016, to mark the first day of the Battle of the Somme exactly 100 years ago on July 1st 1916. The sequence includes modern photographs of Shropshire, interspersed with photos taken at the battle of the Somme.
'Butterworth' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:
Friends & Crocodiles (2005)
Actors: Eddie Marsan (actor), Patrick Malahide (actor), Allan Corduner (actor), David M. Thompson (producer), Adrian Johnston (composer), Elizabeth West (miscellaneous crew), Tim Plester (actor), Damian Lewis (actor), Robert Lindsay (actor), Stephen Poliakoff (writer), Stephen Poliakoff (producer), Stephen Poliakoff (director), Jodhi May (actress), Jane Hawley (miscellaneous crew), Emma Woodcock (miscellaneous crew),
Plot: "Friends and Crocodiles" traces the relationship of maverick entrepreneur Paul Reynolds and his colleague Lizzie Thomas over a period of 20 years from the beginning of the Thatcher years to the rise of the electronic age and the dot-com bubble. Paul persuades Lizzie to work for him as his personal assistant, and becomes her mentor. She is inspired by his drive and creativity, but appalled by his lack of organisation and occasionally destructive anarchic lifestyle. After she calls the police to terminate an extravagant party which has got out of hand, they part, vowing never to meet again, but, over the years, their paths continually cross, as Lizzie rises through the corporate world and Paul's fortunes rise and fall. The play is an examination of the nature of personal relationships where work and ideas are more powerful drivers than sexual emotions, and also a panoramic view of the rapid changes in British society in the '80's and '90's.

English Idylls No. 1 by George Butterworth
George Sainton Kaye Butterworth, MC (12 July 1885 -- 5 August 1916) was an English composer best known for his tone poem The Banks of Green Willow and his settings of A. E. Housman's poems. Although Butterworth was born in London, his family moved to Yorkshire not so long after his birth. He received his first music lessons from his mother, who was a singer, and he began composing at an early age. As a young boy, he played the organ for services in the chapel of Aysgarth School, where he was a pupil, before gaining a scholarship to his public school. However, his father intended him to be a solicitor, and he attended Eton College, from there continuing to Trinity College, Oxford. While at Trinity he became more focused on music, for there he met the folk song collector Cecil Sharp and com... -

George Butterworth: A Shropshire Lad
[From a Naxos disc entitled "Flowers of the Field". The London Mozart Players are conducted by Hilary Davan Wetton.] This orchestral rhapsody is one of the few works George Butterworth did not destroy before he went to France to serve in the Great War of 1914-18. He died at the Battle if the Somme in August 1916 and, though he received a hasty battlefield burial, his remains were never recovered for a more formal burial. He was posthumously awarded the Miltary Cross. I made this presentation at the end of June 2016, to mark the first day of the Battle of the Somme exactly 100 years ago on July 1st 1916. The sequence includes modern photographs of Shropshire, interspersed with photos taken at the battle of the Somme.

A rural and typically English landscape with the images set to the music of George Butterworth 1885-1916.
George Butterworth, teacher, musician, composer and collector of folk songs was one of the many who was tragically taken in the terrible devastion of the first world war. He like so many gentle sons, many of whom were poets, musicians and artists rather than soldiers at heart!
These 'unlikely soldiers' enlisted willingly to defend this land and their vision of England. It was their vision and now it is ours, with its leafy lanes, lush hedgerows and verdant rolling hills. They went to fight on some foreign field for a land they called home, to live in peace beside those 'Blue Remembered Hills' and ramble along the lovely leafy lanes. As we go forth along the rural roads and rides of old England remember those we have lost and savour while you still can that which was so sadly lost to them.
Yet their essential spirit lingers on within those who can listen and love their music prose and poetry set to the gently rolling backdrop of our still green and pleasant land.
Enjoy these images that are mere attachments to George Butterworth's lovely music that simply says it all!

George Sainton Kaye Butterworth, MC (12 July 1885 -- 5 August 1916) was an English composer best known for his tone poem The Banks of Green Willow and his settings of A. E. Housman's poems.
Although Butterworth was born in London, his family moved to Yorkshire not so long after his birth. He received his first music lessons from his mother, who was a singer, and he began composing at an early age. As a young boy, he played the organ for services in the chapel of Aysgarth School, where he was a pupil, before gaining a scholarship to his public school. However, his father intended him to be a solicitor, and he attended Eton College, from there continuing to Trinity College, Oxford. While at Trinity he became more focused on music, for there he met the folk song collector Cecil Sharp and composer and folk song enthusiast Ralph Vaughan Williams. Butterworth and Vaughan Williams made several trips to the English countryside to collect folk songs, and the compositions of both were strongly influenced by what they heard. Butterworth was also an expert folk dancer, being particularly keen in the art of Morris dancing.
Vaughan Williams and Butterworth became close friends. It was Butterworth who suggested to Vaughan Williams that he turn a symphonic poem he was working on into his London Symphony. When the manuscript for that piece was lost (having been sent to Fritz Busch in Germany just before the outbreak of war), Butterworth, together with Geoffrey Toye and the critic Edward J. Dent, helped Vaughan Williams reconstruct the work.[1] Vaughan Williams dedicated the piece to Butterworth's memory after his death. Upon leaving Oxford, Butterworth began a career in music, writing criticism for The Times, composing, and teaching at Radley College, Oxfordshire. He also briefly studied at the Royal College of Music where he worked with Hubert Parry among others.
At the outbreak of World War I, Butterworth signed up for service in the British Army. He served in the Durham Light Infantry as a Lieutenant in the 13th Battalion. Butterworth's letters are full of admiration for the ordinary miners of County Durham who served in his platoon. As part of 23rd Division, the 13th DLI was sent into action to capture the western approaches of the village of Contalmaison on the Somme. Butterworth and his men succeeded in capturing a series of trenches, the traces of which can still be found within a small wood. For this action Lt George Butterworth, aged 31, was recommended for the Military Cross by Brigadier Page-Croft.
The Battle of the Somme was now entering its most intense phase. On 4 August, 23 Division was ordered to attack a communication trench known as Munster Alley. The soldiers named the assault trench 'Butterworth Trench' in their officer's honour. In desperate fighting on 4--5 August, Butterworth and his miners captured and held on to Munster Alley, albeit with heavy losses. That night, amid the frantic German attempts to recapture the position, George Butterworth was shot through the head by a sniper. He was hastily buried by his men in the side of the trench, his body later lost in the fierce bombardments which followed. (The following morning the same trench was the site of Pt. William Short's (Yorkshire Regiment) act of gallantry which was to win him a posthumous Victoria Cross.)
When Brigadier Page-Croft wrote to Butterworth's family to inform them of his death, it transpired that Butterworth's family had not known that he had earlier been awarded the Military Cross. And likewise, the Brigadier was astonished to learn that Butterworth had been the most promising young English composer of his generation. The Briagdier wrote that Butterworth was: A brilliant musician in times of war and an equally brilliant soldier in times of stress.
Butterworth's body was never recovered (although his unidentified remains may well lie at nearby Pozieres CWGC Cemetery), and his name appears on the Thiepval Memorial near the Somme. George Butterworth's Banks of Green Willow has become synonymous with the sacrifice of his generation and has been elevated to an anthem for all 'Unknown Soldiers'.

Lyrics
My life is shit, shit
My life is bogus, ball
My life is trite, cry
My life is hell, hell
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?
Your life is shit, shit
Your life is strange and insane
Your life is lame, a type of crap
Your life is jail, clam
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?
Your life is shit
I'ma open myself up a flea market
I'ma open myself up a flea market
And you're gonna wish that you did
Might retire on the profits
First off, I'ma empty out all of my Mrs. Butterworth jars
I'ma put 'em on a shelf with my 800 dollar a month tax free Century 21, shop
And then I am going to put my Mrs. Butterworth syrup jars on the shelf
Next to all the commemorative fast food chain glasses and cups I've accumulated over the past 62 years
Then I'm going to get some plywood
I'm going to get some plywood and cut them up into two by two piece squares
Then I'm going to get some burlap and I'm going to cut them into two by two piece squares and then I'm going to put them onto the pieces of plywood
And then I'm going to go to the beach
I'm going to go to the beach and I'm gonna collect some shells and driftwood
And then I'm gonna take the shells and driftwood and glue them onto the plywood and burlap
And sell 'em for lots of money
People will be paying top dollar for my kids new used new toys and clothing
Then maybe someday I can get rid of that piss stained mattress I've been sleeping on
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm going to hell, help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, start a new union
I'm gonna die, to help my libido
I'm gonna die, we'll start a new union
I'm gonna die, who wants to stay?

[From a Naxos disc entitled "Flowers of the Field". The London Mozart Players are conducted by Hilary Davan Wetton.]
This orchestral rhapsody is one of the few works George Butterworth did not destroy before he went to France to serve in the Great War of 1914-18. He died at the Battle if the Somme in August 1916 and, though he received a hasty battlefield burial, his remains were never recovered for a more formal burial. He was posthumously awarded the Miltary Cross.
I made this presentation at the end of June 2016, to mark the first day of the Battle of the Somme exactly 100 years ago on July 1st 1916. The sequence includes modern photographs of Shropshire, interspersed with photos taken at the battle of the Somme.

BITTER WITHY
As it fell out on a high holiday
Small rain from the sky did fall
Sweet Jesus asked of his own mother dear
Whether he might play at ball
To play, to play, dear child she did say
It's time that you have been gone
And don't let me hear complaints about you
At night when you do come home
Now our Savior walked down into yonder town
As far as the holy, holy well
And there he met three of the finest children
That ever any tongue could tell
Good morn, good morn, good morn, said they
Good morning, then said he, said he
Now which of you three fine children
Will play at ball with me
Oh we are lords and ladies sons
Born in a bowery hall
And you are but a maiden's child
Born in an oxen stall
Now our savior built a bridge with the beams of the sun
and over the water ran he, ran he
And the three jolly children followed after him
And drowned they were all three
The upward ball and the downward ball
Their mothers they did wail and squall
Saying, Mary mild, fetch home your child
For ours are drownded all
Then Mary mild picked a handful of withies
And laid our dear savior across her knee
And with that handful of withy twigs
She gave him slashes three
Oh cursed be to the bitter withy
That has caused me to smart, to smart
And that shall be the very first tree
That shall perish right at the heart
