Beautiful Music! Thank you Mr. Wakeman for covering this iconic celebratory hymn!❤

[@noelwilde]

What a fabulous player he is.

[@luz_aslana691]

You have filled my life with Beauty and Grandeur, Rick. Born in 1955, you have been the joyful soundtrack to this guy's life! Ever grateful 🥲!

[@swyman10]

I’m a year older than you & agree wholeheartedly with your comment, thanks Maestro Wakeman.

[@scivalesmusicbooks1977]

Same for me, born five years later. The music of Rick Wakeman is a precious gift for the ages!

[@bauertime]

@@scivalesmusicbooks1977 I was born in 1960 and I don't remember seeing any you there.

[@petrared100]

Totally agree and , having met him a few times after concerts , a humble , lovely guy.His music touches my soul. When I depart this life I want this to be played at my funeral.

[@bigjapi1]

Best keyboard player EVER without any doubt, genius!

[@paddycable1723]

Mozart and Beethoven weren’t bad also.

[@RobertoGarcia-zd2tr]

The first song I ever danced with that girl who years later became my wife, was Morning has broken. Until today, almost 50 years later, I can remember the emotion of hearing your incredible piano while filling that girl so close to me, for the first time.Thank you so much Mr. Wakeman

[@davida.heffley4474]

Thank you for your candid interpretation of this powerful hymn. God bless your years forever. I think Rick was sent for such beautiful stories as yours. God bless, and bless God.

Rick Wakeman THE FINGERS. THE MASTER. FOREVER YES!!!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

[@keithadams529]

Saw Rick at the ice show for myths and legends. He played the entire journey album as an encore. He used to play keyboards in a pub band where my aunt was the singer.

[@kevanbodsworth9868]

Yes his Dad advised him to play any music with anybody ,Take any chance , It is advice I have followed in music and gained a lot by paying music I was not really keen on ,

[@ric8248]

The iconic piano riff has a modulating up version, a modulating down version, and a staying in the same key version, but you don't realise it until you try to learn it. Absolute genius.

[@ricardomachadomachado9976]

Show Parabéns

[@MrPedal88]

I remember hearing this song on the radio when I was in high school and saying to myself, "self", this is not your average rock player on this record. Later that year I saw Yes for the first time, and as they say, the rest is history. Apparently, I was right. Merry Christmas Rick.

[@nelson1953]

that tune is still one of my favorite Cat Stevens'song.

[@CentralScrotiniser]

A piano played so majestically makes one's heart swell

[@maurobottino6241]

Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to the best keyboard player! First time I heard Rick playing The Legends and Myths of King Arthur I was no more than 10 - 11 yo... now I am 57. I knew since the first moment that he was amazing! Long life to the King!

[@armandoarce8425]

Monstruo. Belleza.

[@garyhammond6253]

I recently was confirmed into the Catholic Church and this music was playing at the start of Mass. For me it was like a restart of life; the music means something truly special to me and always will. Rick Wakeman is a ⭐️

[@luisdeleon1489]

Like in heaven...

[@LolitaWilson-i9i]

Rick you have a God given talent. So magical and my heart is full of unexplainable joy listening to you play. Gave me chills. Thank you Rick

[@DelightLovesMovies]

Wow I've heard that so many times and didn't know it was Rick Wakeman.

[@jmack619]

I had Morning has broken in my head late one night about a week ago, and it was because of the morning and the piano. When I played the record, it was much more powerful than I remembered. THANK YOU Rick

[@jmack619]

Ps it was a large coincidence that you play it, for me. Guess I,m digging too deep

[@Warryn-qj5pi]

So lovely. I'm a 70 year old piano player. You and cat were a great inspiration. Met rick in a pub in Brisbane Australia inthe 80s signed an Album. What a beaut down to earth guy ❤

[@marcanglin7127]

Thank you, Rick, for bringing beauty and joy to my life, and for influencing me like no other on my musical journey playing various keyboards over the last 40+ years. It has been a pleasure to meet and speak with you on two different occasions; you are a true gentleman.

[@scottlee-benner6610]

I also loved this song when it came out. But I didn't buy Tea For The Tillerman, so I had NO IDEA who was tickling the ivories behind Cat's tenor voice and accoustic guitar! I only found out THIS YEAR, it was out beloved Rick Wakeman!

[@rodneyblackwell7477]

If you had bought Tea for the Tillerman it wouldn't have helped as this song was on Teaser and the Firecat. It still wouldn't have helped as Wakeman was not credited nor ever paid the agreed fee for this.

[@davidchamberlain5425]

Utterly brilliant maestro of pure music, 🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵..

[@johndavis6119]

That was wonderful Mr. Wakeman. I remember that song. It’s one of my favorites.

[@neilangus4401]

I did not know Rick played the keys On this Fantastic at 64 that you are always learning

[@XRacerify]

Wow... One need not be religious to find their own religion in this song... One of my all-time favorites. BRAVO !

[@barryispuzzled]

And it's the twiddly bits that make it so interesting and distinctive. Saw Mr Wakeman in Leeds in May 1976. He was being supported as he walked along the corridor exhausted after the gig, one man under each shoulder. Glad he managed to continue with his career ...

[@kevintewey1157]

Looking back on my life pretty much live for music and these guys particularly Don't know what I'm going to do when you're gone

[@rocketman57]

Rick, I've been a Yes fan and a fan of yours since 1973. I had piano lessons up to grade three but life (teenage foolishness!) got in the way and I stopped. Thank you for the many years of virtuosity that I've enjoyed. You ARE A LEGEND. My first ever gig was Newcastle City Hall in 1976 for King Arthur. Brilliant!

[@stevenbaggett6549]

Feliz 2022🥂❤️😘

[@technonarg5978]

I first came across your name on the sleeve notes on Hunky Dory,then on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and then started to find out about your music and I've been a fan ever since. Thank you for enriching my life with your music,and making me laugh with your humour. God bless you Rick

[@danhollifield]

Rick, I've been a fan since "Journey To The Centre Of The Earth" when I was a young teenager. I also was in that horrible basketball stadium in Atlanta when you were there with Yes, and Donavan was the opening act in the mid-1970s. I was in the nosebleed seats and would have needed the Hubble Telescope to see you as more than a tiny blur, but it was still a great show. Without your solo albums, I would have never discovered Yes. I still collect everything you release, which will drive my children mad when I'm gone, but you bring me comfort im my old age as well as in my youth. I'm extraordinarily fond of your album of Christmas music, which I play every time the season rolls around. My wife, who is from Portsmouth though I am American, particularly loves all the work you did with David Bowie. I could not pick a favorite album of yours if my life depended on it, but I will say that I was highly entertained by your performance as Thor in Ken Russel's Lisztomania movie. The music you did for that was almost eclipsed by the scene where you pissed into the fireplace, but that's neither here nor there. I mainly wanted to take this chance to thank you for all the joy and music you have brought into my life through, lo, these many decades. You, Sir, are a treasure, and I will sorely miss you if you predecease me, so DON'T YOU DARE! The world still needs you. --Dan

BEAUTIFUL PIANO PLAYING BY RICK WAKEMAN ACCOMPANYING CAT STEVENS ON MORNING HAS BROKEN.

[@scivalesmusicbooks1977]

Maestro sommo di infinita Bellezza e Magia.

[@philsarkol6443]

It's the clear and simple melody of this song that can grow into a piano piece so recognizable in the hands of an accomplished pianist and true musician like Rick. The classic pianovibe made this song to become a hit for Cat Stevens, a perfect fit with his voice that gave this song the mass apeal that it garnered.

[@martindas796]

Rick Wakeman wasn't credited or paid for his part of Morning Has Broken on Cat Stevens's Teaser and the Firecat album for some reason. Stevens made good on it many years later. Anyway, that's why almost no one knew it was Rick.

But if you could sit down and play this into a Fairlight or something and print out the piano notation for this. I sure would love to take a closer look at it. A good transcript is always so helpful.
