kestrellWhile trying to find a folky version of this song, I came across this magnificient version, which begins with one girl playing, and ends up being one of the most fun versions I've heard

Date: 2016-02-18 11:13 pm (UTC)The title of that YouTube posting is rather misleading. At the start there's one man in a tuxedo standing in the plaza in front of the Banc Sabadell with a bass viol and a bow, and his hat on the ground in front of him. A small girl drops a coin in the hat and steps back, and he begins to play. Other musicians with their instruments (and in some cases chairs) appear from various directions— a bassoon, violins, cellos, percussion, brass, till you have a whole orchestra with conductor, plus a chorus. All these appear on the video coming into the plaza just in time to set up and enter on cue.

The reply was:
Oh yes, thank you! I've seen it before and it's WONDERFUL!
