LYRICS: Stardust - The Melachrino Strings! And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart! You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by! Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely night dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song! Beside a garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale A paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain! +++ ALBUM SONGS: Stardust (The Melachrino Strings), Speak Low (Percy Faith) Speak Low (John Norman Singers), Spanish Flea (Herb Alpert), The Music Of Spain (The Melachrino Strings)! +++ "Stardust" is a popular song composed in 1927 by Hoagy Carmichael with lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish. Carmichael first recorded the song, originally titled "Star Dust", at the Gennett Records studio in Richmond, Indiana. The song, "a song about a song about love", played in an idiosyncratic melody in medium tempo, became an American standard, and is one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, with over 1,500 total recordings. In 2004, Carmichael's original 1927 recording of the song was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. According to Carmichael, the inspiration for "Stardust" (the song's original title was "Star Dust", which has long been compounded into "Stardust") came to him while he was on the campus of his alma mater, Indiana University, in Bloomington, Indiana. He began whistling the tune, then rushed to the Book Nook, a popular student hangout, and started composing. He worked to refine the melody over the course of the next several months, likely in Bloomington or Indianapolis (sources cite various locations, and Carmichael himself liked to embellish the facts about the song's origins). "Stardust" was first recorded in Richmond, Indiana, for Gennett Records by Carmichael, with Emil Seidel and his Orchestra and the Dorsey brothers as "Hoagy Carmichael and His Pals," on October 31, 1927. Mitchell Parish wrote lyrics for the song, based on his own and Carmichael's ideas, which were published in 1929. A slower version had been recorded in October 1928, but the real transformation came on May 16, 1930, when bandleader Isham Jones recorded it as a sentimental ballad. "Stardust" is a 32-bar melody with a slightly unusual ABAC structure, preceded by a 16-bar verse. While the verse is often omitted in recordings, Frank Sinatra made a recording in 1961 of just the verse. The verse and chorus have the same final cadence, though other than that they are musically distinct. - Wikipedia +++ George Melachrino (1909 – 1965) was a musician, movie composer, and musical director who was English born of Greek and Italian descent. He was an accomplished player of the violin, viola, oboe, clarinet and saxophone. After the World War II, in 1945, he formed the George Melachrino Orchestra, an orchestra that became synonymous with sweet and melodious music. From 1945-1947 he conducted for Richard Tauber in most of his Parlophone recordings and BBC broadcasts. Melachrino frequently performed on BBC and American Armed Forces Radio. He vied with Mantovani in trying to dominate the post World War II easy listening audiences. Melachrino has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. - Wikipedia +++ GOOGLE SONG INFO: Speak Low - Percy Faith and His Orchestra 4:05 - 7:37 Spain: España/Tango/Valencia/Andaluza/Spanish Gypsy Dance - The Melachrino Strings 14:07 - 20:00 Stardust - George Melachrino 0:08 - 3:44 Spanish Flea (Album Version) - Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass 11:49 - 13:53 +++ Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, “How can I help?” That’s exactly what Jesus did. He didn’t make it easy for Himself by avoiding people’s troubles, but waded right in and helped out. +++ MORE BEAUTIFUL CLASSICAL MUSIC VIDEOS: https://goo.gl/c4HspF https://www.facebook.com/groups/EasyListening1950s Google: T3H7P12H NOTE: There is some discussion in the Geek World about what constitutes a 4K Video. iMovie - which these videos are made from - identify this video as 4K.
