Music for beautiful horses filmed at dusk

Came across these stunning racehorses in a field near Wick (Bristol) whilst on a walk back to Bath on Grandmother’s Rock Lane towards the Retreat Woodland. Very inquisitive and beautiful to be around and film – but left me worried as to how cold it was for them to be in a field with no coats….

Filmed at sundown in January 2025 on Fujifilm X-T4 and Canon FD 50mm f1.4

Music is titled: Across the Plains – by Jonathan Slatter

Nearer, my God, to Thee: Free Sheet Music

On this page you will find recordings and sheet music of the beautiful hymn, Nearer, my God, to Thee. The words were written by Sarah Flower Adams (1805 – 1848) and the famous hymn tune ‘Bethany’ was composed by Lowell Mason, (1792 – 1872) to accompany her text.

Many films about the sinking of the Titantic depict this hymn as being the last piece played by the ship’s string band. Sadly all of the ships’ musicians died when the vessel sank off the coast of Newfoundland, on its maiden voyage to New York, on April 15, 1912.
