Francisca Rigaud sings: The White Cliffs of Dover (Walter Kent, Nat Burton) - Piano Robert Aszmies

Описание: This is a truly beautiful song, by Walter Kent and Nat Burton, which has been sung by many amazing singers, like the British treasure, Dame Vera Lynn (who sang it for the troops, during WWII). It has been featured in many feature films and TV shows, and also musical productions. Hopefully it serves to remind us that after bad times there will be Love and Laughter, and Peace Ever After! Something I needed to remind me of, right at this moment! As you will notice, there were two moments when I got very emotional, but I wanted to leave them in. I will confess that it took me quite a while before I felt well enough to go on singing.

This beautiful piano arrangement is by the fabulous pianist, Robert Aszmies!!! Why not visit his channel?    • Piano Solos The White Cliffs of Dover (194...  . I put a lot of care while looking for the best accompaniment for my voice, and when I heard Robert's rendition of this song, I knew that I had found an accompaniment I truly loved. And, as I often do, this is my own vocal arrangement. This song was first released in 1941.

I took all the photos you see on this video: The photos of the sky were taken in Cyprus, the photos of the big, red poppies, were taken in a beautiful park in town, the pink poppies were just wild poppies that I found on the road to town and the same for the very elaborate, small red poppies, dancing in the wind. The landscapes with lots of poppies were photos I took in the property where I lived in the South West of France, Plegassous, which I very much loved, and sadly enough lost.

The fact that there are so many poppies in this video, even on my dress, has a meaning too! The poppy is a powerful symbol of World War I and World War II - remembrance and hope, representing the blood-red flowers that bloomed across devastated Western Front battlefields.
