Ronald BInge was a very shy, modest man, and an absolute musical genius. He was for instance- the man that arranged Mantovani's orchestra and was responsible for those amazing cascading strings, that many people thought were produced in the studio with gimmicks, and couldn't be reproduced live---WRONG ! as the millions who flocked to the live concerts around the world found out. But he was invovled in EVERY sphere, arranging , conducting, writing, every type of music. A humble Derbyshire lad .

I have loved Ronald Binge's "Elizabethan Serenade" since I was seven. This version, I think, is one of the best. It is at just the right speed, sensitively performed and beautifully treading that knife-edge between sentiment and optimism.

I love all of these comments! So many are of childhood memories that are precious. And, my story is exactly the same. I have saved the vinyl that my parents owned. I was very young, but this record was played often, and one day I heard it in my head, at around 48 years old. My voice is terrible, but I tried to 'sing' it to my mother to see if she could tell me what it was. She went to her old album collection and pulled it out for me. I have it on my bookmark bar as I listen to it when I need to centre and return to a place that was not so complicated and chaotic. That is what this piece does for me...a return to a time in my childhood where I felt such love and peace...a simple place that can be captured best by music.

When I was very young 7 or 8, my Mother bought a record of this piece for my birthday. I used to listen to it over and over on our record player, the kind that had a little needle and you had to wind it up. Alas she is gone now, but this music will always remind me of her. She was from Wales and had a beautiful singing voice.

Memories, oh memories. Listening to this beautiful piece of music I am transported back to the mid-fifties when I was about five years old. Brought up in post war Liverpool my Father used to get up at six o'clock in the morning before going to work and light the coal fire for the rest of the family to enjoy its benefits in their morning rush. He would sit me in the fireside chair observing his morning routine after feeding me my daily dose of porridge. Tuned in to the BBC Home service 'Elizabethan Serenade' was a regular item played in those 'educating' days and I am thankful for it, for its quintessentially 'English' melodies ironically remind me of my staunchly proud Liverpool roots

Rob Roy Loved your post - very evocative. Thankyou.This musici reminds me of my earliest memories growing up on a rubber estate in Malaya. My Mum was from Liverpool (a war child evacuated out of the city to avoid the bombings ). Her stories of those dark days will stay with me always and I was fortunate enough to visit Liverpool in '89.My Auntie Betty still lived in a beautiful old house and garden on the Wirral surrounded by postwar blocks of flats. She told me even more stories of the olden days in Liverpool. Of course they're both gone now and I've spent all of my life since the early 60's here in Australia but I feel somehow connected to your part of the world - and music only reinforces that connection - all the best ...
