Manuel and The Music of the Mountains - Fountains of Rome video free download

Aah ..... Rome .... Would it be a coincidence that the first 3 letters of this city's name are the same as in the word " Romantic " ....? Well, yes of course that's just 'by accident' but we had to find "some" opening lines for this little write-up so ;-) Indeed, if music pieces would get 'points' for the "romantic 'aspect' "then this "Fountains of Rome" played by the great Manuel would certainly score a big "10" :) Composed in 1956 by Hungarian born Matyas Seiber, this song (with lyrics by Norman Newell) became a huge UK hit in that same year for David Hughes. Seiber (who had been working in the UK since 1935) even received the Ivor Novello Award for this composition, a prize yearly given to outstanding composers by the British Association of songwriters, composers and authors (BASCA). 'Quality always finds it's way....'

From the 1968 album "Magic Fountains" here are Manuel and his Mountain musicians with "Fountains of Rome". Happy dreams !
