David Green

David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I publish booklets of my own poems, or did. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become. It keeps me out of more trouble than it gets me into. I hope you find at least some of it worthwhile.

Top 6 Symphonies, selected by Phil & Mary Green


In special circumstances, this joint selection in our festival of symphonies has been allowed to run to seven. Those special circumstances are that the guests here are my mother and father and I don't want to be sent to bed with no tea on my next visit to them.

Beethoven: 7th. Noteable for being Richard Baker's signature tune on Radio.
Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. Dramatic music
Brahms: 4th Particularly 3rd movement
Haydn: 94th Surprise As he wrote 107 (according to Groves) he's better have one in
Mendelssohn: 4th Italian Great minds think alike
Sibelius: 5th Great finish
Tchaikovsky: 4th Final movement exceptional and often played by a brass band as a finale
