the old hovis bread advert

[up the villa]

it was a earky 90's HOVIS BREAD advert with a boy walking up a hill with his bike with a old man taking in the background saying carry my hovis up the hill!what i want to know is whats the name of the music in the background i think its with a trumpit!???

[tyrepill]

I think it was "morning" from Dvoraks New World Symphony

[kestrelg]

It is an old negro spiritual called " Going home"
The basis of the song is of an old man who is dying and he sees his death as " going home"

[BigMac]

Dvorak's New World symphony, wasn't it?

[cyanide]

Yes,it was Dvorak's New World Symphony,and it was directed by Ridley Scott.

I thought it was 'going home'

we used to sing it at the end of each school year, not sure why a song about death was appropriate.

I have always love the parody sung by Tony Capstick

'Capstick comes home' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32eSB0ZRPxQ&fea ture=related

Here it is with the Going Home lyrics....

The Capstick parody is lovely, I've just added it to my favourites :-)

[redcrx]

its is good isnt it. My mums family come from yorkshire so we always had a giggle over the song.

[BigMac]

Pointless piece of trivia: the hill is NOT in Yorkshire. It's Gold Hill in Shaftesbury, Dorsetshire.

[Marijn]

That's a beautiful place. Is the Capstick parody the same place as well? I want to go there.

[netibiza]

"Going Home" was taken from the New World Symphony
