Well, nicely done...and interesting; however, it is NOT the usual nor accept origin of the once commonly used phrase.
Your constant misuse of the word “culture” is silly and adds nothing to the thread.
A tenant is someone who rents a house, apartment or property from someone else.
Please correct me regarding my misuse of the word “culture,” NP. What is proper usage of such term in this context? I welcome your kind reply.
I’m not usually a fan of Pryce having seen him ruin My Fair Lady and hump a Cadillac in Miss Saigon but he’s really excellent in Wolf Hall.
In Youtube there are some videos of Pryce playing Fagin in a staged version of Oliver! He was actually good—different than Ron Moody’s interpretation, but I liked it.
Yeah, he waxes hot and cold.
Phew. You sound like a pimply boy in Junior High baiting the smart girl because she wears glasses and reads books. You still haven’t told me about the glories of Henry 8’s reign. I’m all ears.
Dusting off lame rationalizations from your own obviously unpleasant school years doesn’t really add anything here. You clearly are not following my replies if you believe me to be purely a fan of Henry VIII. I owe you no dissertation. You’re all something but ears nor eyes ain’t it.
Geez, you’re a schmuck.
I’ve stated my opinion of you some time ago.
Which movie are you talking about?
It has been rumored that Henry VIII wrote Greensleeves for Anne Boleyn however it is believed to have been written during the Elizabethan era.
No matter who wrote it, but my favorite interpretation of the song is that of Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Oh, you did? In between reruns of Hee Haw and playing the banjo for Burt Reynolds?
I love Vaughn Williams. Have you heard his rendition of Gloucestershire Wassail Song? So pretty.
In the hilarious movie, The Lady in the Van, Frances De La Tour, playing the composer’s wife, walks around her neighborhood introducing herself to complete strangers by saying “I’m Mrs. Vaughn Williams.”
I love him too. No, I hadn’t but thank you for telling me about his arrangement. It is beautiful.
My first introduction to Vaughn Williams was as a kid when my parents in the late 60’s were lapsed Catholics for a while and we were attending a Lutheran church and they held a performance of parts of his Hodie, Christmas Cantata with a small local orchestra and choir.
My favorite Vaughn Williams pieces are Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis and The Lark Ascending and while darker and more modernist, even his Sixth Symphony which was much different from his previous and more pastoral works.
Have you seen this video of Fantaisia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis? While it captures time lapsed video of the Rocky Mountains rather than of pastoral England, I think it captures it perfectly.
