Loved the First Night of the BBC Proms, especially the premiere of Errollyn Wallen's atmospheric 'Elements' (see below) and the beautiful Vaughan Williams setting of verses from Revelation, 'Sancta Civitas'.

Wow Finzi's For St. Cecelia was wonderful!! But I am a sucker for anything choral...so rousing and positive. Thomas Atkins was in great voice.
What a cracking opening, great programme of music...and Wonderwall! Blimey. :) #BBCProms #FNOTP #FirstNightOftheProms

two things made me weepy today:
• the BBC symphony orchestra, BBC singers & BBC symphony chorus singing “wonderwall” at the #firstnightoftheproms.
• while watching ‘gogglebox’, watching grace, a young woman who lost both legs & all fingers to meningitis, playing the piano absolutely beautifully.
