To listen to this transports me back 70+ years to being at home with mum and we'd take time out to listen to 'Listen With Mother' a BBC radio program which as so many others have said, used this as its theme tune. Oh happy days in the safe, care-free company of my mum.
It's fricking Faure's 'Berceuse' for goodness sake. No need to destroy the feeling of culture by referencing it by 'some movie' it was played in for goodness sake.
@@EpicPianoArrangements many people grow to appreciate 'classical' music after listening to background music --- not all of us have much music at home from childhood ----- this is one of my earliest memories "Listen with Mother"
This was the music that introduced BBC Children's Radio program, "Listen With Mother", which was presented by Daphne Oxenford, who died yesterday. The announcer would say "Are you ready for the music? When it stops, Daphne Oxenford will be here to speak to you." Then you would hear Fauré's Berceuse, and then Daphne would say "Are you sitting comfortably... then we'll begin."
Nicely played and nicely done, so many people seem to think that playing this as fast as they can makes it better, it's nice to hear it played at the right speed.
The Wii Gallery...man, this song brings back emotions...I used to look at Vacation photos I took in 2011 when we went on a vacation to Croatia...this Music was playing in the Background, it got me very emotional even back then, now i can´t help it but shed a few tears while listening to this...
BBC's Listen With Mother. I loved that radio programme pre school and I've just remembered that I was sad that I would not be allowed to listen to it when I started school aged 5.
The Dolly Suite - The Berceuse by Faure. This takes me back to my childhood memories. I used to Listen with Mother’ to this tune not knowing what it was called. Its one of my many favourite tunes. It takes me back a long way to a happier time.
I used to "Listen with Mother" too, with the recent passing of Mam it has much greater poignancy - but still, evokes wonderful memories of my early days with my Mother !
I remember it fondly, and with wonderful memories of my recently departed Mother - I thought I would never say it, but 'the Olden Days' were a wonderful time to be a child growing up !
@@juliecamley6858 @Julie Camley Yes, "Watch with Mother" as well - this was the Likes of the "Wooden Tops", "Bill & Ben the Flowerpot Men" (with Little Weed), and of course "Andy Pandy" If I remember rightly, I think each program ended with the music "Time to Go Home" (Mummy & Daddy it's time to go home) and I would cry my eyes out on hearing this, so engaged I was in watching each magical episode !!!
@@neilmeikle8631 Yes, I am right with you! Apparently I used to cry when "Torchy the Battery Boy" ended but I have no recollection. Those were the days!
Oh. . . I wondered why it reminded me of my childhood and especially of my darling mother. It’s such a sweet piece of music. So evocative, and takes me right back. ❤️🙂
Nice video. This piece became famous in England due to a short programme for small children. It was the signature to the programme. There would be some songs and a short story. The reader would always say: 'Are sitting comfortably? Then I will begin.' It became a national catch phrase. I remember the piece as being played very slowly and the slower the better. I would recommend that you try it by playing at the same very slow speed though out. See what you think. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for letting me know this. I have always loved this piece and haven't quite known why....but I used to watch that programme "Listen with Mother" and that is obviously why I love this piece so much. Music listened to in childhood makes a deep impression obviously.
47nutters Hi +47nutters. Your comment does date you as it does me! The prog was broadcast on what was then the BBC Home Service, the forerunner of today's Radio 4. It was called 'Listen with Mother'. I think it was the first piece of music that caught my attention although I am always claiming it was a tune from the Magic Flute that first impacted on me. It seems Faure was first.
It was Listen with Mother. BBC Home Service. "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...." Watch with Mother on BBC (only the one BBC TV channel) didn't have a specific theme as it was a different show every day, Andy Pandy, The Woodentops, Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men.
Thank you this is such a lovely piece, i never heard it before yesterday. My niece played it with her teacher at her Christmas recital. Thank you once again i get to hear over and over again!!!!
Sort of love you right now (yep crazy girl on the Internet ) have to play this for my recital next week and have been freaking out about it ... as weird as this is, hearing you calmed me down! Absolutely lovely playing..x
Thank you for posting this,I've always loved this piece and finally got hold of the sheets, and did not realize its well within my capabilities. after one night I have nearly learnt both primo and secondo, this is great for those of us with a digital piano,as you can record either part, but I'm looking forward to playing it next week with my piano teacher. You play faultlessly and with a great command.
Update: I have come back to this video and downloaded it with "ClipGrab." I am going to transfer it to my smartphone so I can play it for other people. It happens I play the piano myself, and have tried several times to do what's done here ... to record both parts of this duet and put them together without errors. Sadly, I always seem to mess up {sigh} but now I have yours to show me what I'm aiming for. Thank you. NB: This little piece was the signature tune of a short daily music and story radio program that was broadcast to pre-school children in UK. "Listen with Mother" was a long time ago, now (1950-1982), but I was one of those earliest children listening with my mummy. I am 70 now, but this kind of thing sticks with you for always ...... and, lets face it, this always was a very charming piece of music. Final point: I think the hands are mislabelled in this video. Despite what the arrows suggest, the hands on the right are playing 'Primo' and vice versa.
What you see in the video was NOT my first attempt at all. I also had to do it several times to get a version in which I didn't mess up :-) Even after practicing a lot. So don't give up. Well, you're right, the hands are mislabelled. Can't change that anymore.
Daniel Thank you Daniel, for your encouragement. You are very kind, and I do enjoy your playing. The thing about the hands will be our little secret, eh?
OMG you won me! I'm practicing this song to make a similar video. It gonna be my first youtube video. It's really good! Can you recommend me some software to achieve it?
I like very much this video and watch it very cafefully to learn which finger, which hand to use. Bur just one answer : measure 67, seconda, right hand, I have a C# (low)+ a G (high), not a G+G (what you play), it's more difficult ! kind regards
Err. I've done the same thing, paying both parts and recording them as a duet. But, going by the edition I have (Hamelle, 1894), you have the seconda and prima reversed. For the most part except bars 60 though 72 and 77 to the end, the low part is accompaniment.
Excellent, very nice interprétation. I am playing this score with my teacher. But I have noted that in mesaure ninetheen of left hand of part primo on your vidéo. I haven't the same notes on my score (Eb1,B1,A2,B1), perhaps there is a mistake on my score. It should be nice if you can answer me, because i haven't find any errata of my partition( editor:J.HAMELLE), surely you have some other éditor than mine. In this case can you give me the name. Thanks Excuse my very bad english. Anyway excellent interprétation.
Hi Daniel, thank you. I just had a look at my sheet music again. It is exactly as you stated: D#1 (Eb1 resp.),B1,A2,B1 So I just played it a bit differently :-)
To listen to this transports me back 70+ years to being at home with mum and we'd take time out to listen to 'Listen With Mother' a BBC radio program which as so many others have said, used this as its theme tune. Oh happy days in the safe, care-free company of my mum.
Absolutely. It shows how important music is in our lives. I can, just like you, see my mum and I sitting together…..
This is Bicentennial Man's song!!!! i love this theme
this is listen with mother....junior

The theme for "Listen With Mother"! What a beautiful piece of music not to mention radio programme too!
Thanks to the film 'bicentennial man', I fell in love with this piece of music. Its now in my music collection.
Denise Cox yes
Me too♥️ I love that movie♥️

Don't hate me on this but i started practicing this piece because i heard it from the wii gallery.

I am proud to say I can play this on both piano and keyboard, thanks to Robin Williams I watched bicentennial man and fell in love with the song
Same here
The screen labels mixed. The bottom of the screen is secondo (Bass).
Yep i was also a little bit confused
"Andrew, people grow through time, then for you, time is a completely different proposition, for you, time is endless."
There is only thing left to do
The theme tune to "Listen With Mother "- a radio programme in the olden days!

@@neilmeikle8631 If I remember rightly my mum would dash round doing "stuff" while I was listening quietly. "Watch With Mother" as well??

+jimbob1 If you live in the UK it's the theme tune of BBC's Listen With Mother radio programme.
Oh. . . I wondered why it reminded me of my childhood and especially of my darling mother. It’s such a sweet piece of music. So evocative, and takes me right back. ❤️🙂
@@cristalwizard "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...."

I think it was the first piece of music that caught my attention although I am always claiming it was a tune from the Magic Flute that first impacted on me. It seems Faure was first.
I remember listening to this music as an intro to a programme for kids back in the day.
I still use that phrase, in many settings.
I heard this first in Bicentennial Man (the piano duet scene)
Sitting at my piano gently playing the treble notes to my 3 week old daughter in my other arm. I hope one day we can play this song together. 🎵
i looked up this piece of music because it was mentioned many times in a book i finished... i am not disappointed... absolutely beautiful.
Nice, not only to listen but also to look at!
Beautiful ❤
Watch with Mother : where art thou now ? England has need of thee
LISTEN!!!!!
It was Listen with Mother. BBC Home Service.
"Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...."
Watch with Mother on BBC (only the one BBC TV channel) didn't have a specific theme as it was a different show every day, Andy Pandy, The Woodentops, Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men.

Napsuta it was called Listen with Mother and I listened every day as a child. Fond memories.
Eu amo esse dueto!! Ele é o tema da Menininha e do Andrew no filme "O homem bicentenário"!
Saudades desse filme...
Beautiful!
Sort of love you right now (yep crazy girl on the Internet ) have to play this for my recital next week and have been freaking out about it ... as weird as this is, hearing you calmed me down! Absolutely lovely playing..x
"The time is a quarter to two. This is the BBC Home Service for mothers and children at home. Are you sitting comfortably?..."
Then I'll begin...
Although from 16 January 1950 until 4 September 1964, Listen with Mother was broadcast in the Light Programme.

amazing cover👏👏👏

I saw this on another video of the same piece by Steven Mento...wait, the comment was by a 'Benjamin-Hugh Mackay'...same person?
You have to be of a certain age to make that comment !!!
Oh yes! Wonderful memories of a safe and happy time.....
@John Ashtone Thank you!
i remember 53 years ago at school hearing this superb
First every heard this on the Nintendo Wii Photo channel, when you watch the slide show of your photos.
Same, it's really nostalgic to me
I first heard it 56 years ago. It's the first piece of music I remember.
J adoré magnifique
IT'S MARVELOUS

Hm, I always thought it was called 'Wii Photo Channel Slideshow Calm'
Great !
Classical Baby!!!
Nostalgia!!! I still watch Classical Baby nowwwwwww
Yes listen with Mother circa 1965ish!!!!
I LOVE this !!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):):):):):):)
This is such a beautiful piece to play as a duet!! Do you have the sheet music for it?
This is wonderful!! Does anyone have the sheet music for this piece in two sections instead of combined?!? I can only find it together...
OMG you won me! I'm practicing this song to make a similar video. It gonna be my first youtube video. It's really good! Can you recommend me some software to achieve it?
I'm learning to play secondo right now. The last page is really hard. I'm not sure what it is like for adults, since I'm 10. I'm on grade 6 piano
Oh man i wish i had a friend, oh never thought of split recording.

Hi Gabi, thanks for asking. You can use it for whatever you want to :-)

I like very much this video and watch it very cafefully to learn which finger, which hand to use. Bur just one answer : measure 67, seconda, right hand, I have a C# (low)+ a G (high), not a G+G (what you play), it's more difficult !

Ah, listen with mother!!
うまいですねー！(๑'ᴗ'๑)
I thought this was the music they played at the end, the opening music was a xylophone - ding de ding, ding de ding, wasn't it ?
Great! I uploaded the piano accompaniment (secondo) of this piece to practice playing on it ;)
Err. I've done the same thing, paying both parts and recording them as a duet. But, going by the edition I have (Hamelle, 1894), you have the seconda and prima reversed. For the most part except bars 60 though 72 and 77 to the end, the low part is accompaniment.

Nice recording. No big deal but primo / secondo labels are swapped.
So, which part uses the pedal?
I play the secondo part( they are mixed up on the screen) Both parts use pedal
@@celine9174 Okay. Thanks.
the labels are switched
Hey, I think you put the words "primo" and "secondo" in the wrong spots. "Secondo" should always be lower than "Primo".
