David Nolan - The Lark Ascending free for downloading

I chose this music for my son's funeral piece to speed his lovely angelic soul on its' way to adorn the heavens.

Playing this today in memory of my Auntie Mary - my godmother, Maude Mary Baggott. It is being played at her commital this afternoon which because of the current circumstances we are unable to attend. Joining in love for her and my cousins as we light candles and remember her fondly. Rest in Peace Auntie Mary. xx

Composed just 100 yards from my back garden, to my surprise, 14 years before my house was even built in 1928.

when i listen to this.. i just close my eyes ....it just takes me back.. . its a beautiful summer evening in 1959 and i am in love for the first time

A beautiful piece of music - just what this nation needs at this stressful and challenging time

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” Plato.

This lovely music was playing on a tape when my daughter was born in King's Lynn Hospital in Norfolk England in 1973. So beautiful is she, I saw her today. So beautiful is this music too. I don't live in Norfolk anymore, but often wish I did.

This music is astonishing. Ralph Vaughan Williams was an Englishman up there with the best of the best.

For Jack, My Friend . Rest in Peace.

Walked past his house a few days ago, before the lockdown. It's in the Surrey Hills, a beautiful part of the world. Kept thinking about this wonderful piece of music. Didn't see any larks though.

The English countryside on a cool summers day, exquisitely realised... magnificent

any sound that touches your heart, like this is a gift from the lord himself ... witnessses, peace and depths of tranquility i will return

It always amazes me, how can someone press dislike on something this Beautiful?

this has brought me joy and lowered my stress while writing this darn essay

This incomparable work give an deep impression and a pensive feeling in my heart by the overwhelming force that nobody can surpass . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun . It is another one month until the season of the cherry blossoms of Tokyo . Which are you watching this from ？

This is one of the best ever pieces to of been composed it's just awesome ✈

The larks ascend near to where I live and when I daily walk through their stubbled fields I rejoice in the excellence of it and the splendour of Devon’s countryside stretches out before me and rolls into the nearby Teign estuary, quiet and witnessing. I am always happy to hear their shrill alarms carried on the winds.

This piece helps us anticipate the coming of summer here in Utah. I hope those who find themselves in the coming months held captive by the Virus, discover the peace and calmness and hope in God and Nature that such music brings. Make this time in isolation a positive one: read, listen to music, keep a journal for your grandchildren--"ascend" with Thomas Tallis.

I can hear the lark rising high in the sky right now.....its springtime in Norway and also in many other places.....we must enjoy the tunes of the lark...and we must believe in spring.

I am now an ageing man This is beautiful But once I did see a Lark ascend, no more I did hear a Curlew give the lonely haunting song What have we done? What are we doing? Did see Wild Salmon in clear fresh water What is going on? Wish I had innocence. Childhood gone? It is worse than childhood ending. So much sadness I fear all too late But not the stories end?
