Thanks, Den. I like both ladies' renditions. There is certainly a marked difference between a soprano and a mezzo soprano. All down to personal taste, really. Like comparing vintage champagnes. 

[Dishevelled Den]

Thinking as I do (from time to time) of how this once great country occupied a well deserved place in the world ranking of nations that displayed substance and merit, qualities evident as a result of their heritage and the endeavours of their peoples - and contrasting those thoughts with the sad realisation that we now have fallen to a point of near insignificance, I often take solace in listening to our great composers who, through their music allows the spirit to be consoled.

This reminds me that while we were indeed one such nation of merit – no longer, sadly - we have every opportunity to be so once more – we only have to remind ourselves of who we really are.

Gerald Finzi affords us the means to rekindle the esteem and regard we should all have for this nation and, in the following piece, lays bare the stout framework of just exactly what we do have within this country and why we must fight to preserve it.

The beautiful photography coupled with the piece displays parts of Derbyshire’s Peak District to their finest.
