Добрый вечер ,
дорогой Найджел .
Альбом , божественный !
И фотографии и музыка
Лероя Андерсена , всё
объединилось в единое
целое . Мой добрый , тёплый друг , большое спасибо Вам за такой
прекрасный альбом .
Цветы похожи на наш клевер . Там , где растут
эти цветы всегда много
пчёл и других насекомых. Я сразу мысленно перенеслась
в лето на цветочную поляну , где жужат пчёлы , летают бабочки и шуршат своими крыльями стрекозки . Я очень люблю природу .
Какая не земная красота
на этих фотографиях ! И природа и необычные для нас дома и сказочный мостик и акведук , по которому плывет водный транспорт( акведук наверно очень древний?)
С одной стороны я с огромным интересом смотрела альбом , а с другой стороны , я немного расстроилась ,
жизнь прошла , а я так много не увидела и не узнала о том , о другом мире . Немного жаль .
Найджел , я недавно
жаловалась Вам , что уже декабрь , а настоящей зимы нет .
Так вот , уже есть !!!
МИНУС - 39 , это у нас в Красноярске , в Якутске несколько дней
МИНУС - 53 !!!
Ну , и как Вам , такая температура ?! Но самое интересное то , что по телевизору показывают , украшенный к Новому году парк в Якутске , там гуляют целыми семьями
с маленькими детьми !
Ну и народ у нас !!!
Ничего не боятся люди .
Дорогой Найджел , к
Новому году надо обновить Вашу фотографию с Вашими любимцами , не оставляйте нас без подарка .
Мой друг , будьте счастливы , здоровы и с хорошим настроением .
Нежно Вас обнимаю , целую . Ваша Марго .
Несколько раз посмотрела альбом .

Ah yes. Arietta is one of my favorites, too. Matter of factly, I get goosebumps EVERY time I hear the first two bars. I used this lilting, dreamily, wafting tune as the background music for a slide show I made, showcasing my daughter-in-laws cosmetic displays that she created through the years to vie for a managerial position. The presentation received kudos and she got the job. Thank you Nigel.... thank you and god bless Mr. Leroy Anderson and marvelous his gifts of music.

Yes, indeed , I am surprised this haunting melody is not as popular as some other works by Leroy Anderson. For a short musical composition this has as much weight as full blown orchestral pieces. Nigel
John Ferguson
Such a beautiful piece of music. I had never heard this hauntingly beautiful piece until just now in 2021, and I'm just 76. I love all of Leroy Anderson's music. Many thanks for posting.
Nigel Fowler Sutton
Glad you enjoy it! You are most welcome, John

Nigel Fowler Sutton
Thank you dear friend Natasha. I agree, this s a most wonderful piece of music by Leroy Anderson and, by all accounts, fairly unknown. I love it. Nigel
John Savard
I shall add my voice to those thanking you for making available these lesser-known gems from Leroy Anderson!
Nigel Fowler Sutton
It is a great pleasure, John. Thank you for your visit and great comment. A shame this piece is not well known as so many others by Anderson.This is a a great favourite of mine. Cheers! Nigel

Beautiful. It seems Leroy Anderson isn't recognized nearly enough for his beautiful music.
Nigel Fowler Sutton
