BBC Virgin Queen Soundtrack - Track 1 - The Virgin Queen 

This is my favorite version of Queen Elizabeth's I life. Anne Marie Duff was absolutely amazing. The lyrics from this song actually come from a poem Elizabeth wrote. This is my favorite soundtrack, ever. I'm now a huge' Medieaval Baebes' fan.

my favourite part of this mini series is when they open up her ring and there's a portrait of anne boleyn in there. made me smile

This brilliant drama had the most realistic Tudor Teeth I've ever seen on screen.

The poem, written by Queen Elizabeth I: "I grieve and dare not show my discontent; I love, and yet am forced to seem to hate; I do, yet dare not say I ever meant; I seem stark mute, but inwardly do prate. I am, and not; I freeze and yet am burned, Since from myself another self I turned." "My care is like my shadow in the sun -- Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it, Stands, and lies by me, doth what I have done; His too familiar care doth make me rue it. No means I find to rid him from my breast, Till by the end of things it be suppressed." "Some gentler passion slide into my mind, For I am soft and made of melting snow; Or be more cruel, Love, and so be kind. Let me or float or sink, be high or low; Or let me live with some more sweet content, Or die, and so forget what love e'er meant."

"My care is like my shadow, Laid bare beneath the sun. It follows me at all times, And flies when I pursue it." "I freeze and yet am always burned. Since from myself again I turn, I love and yet am forced to hate, I seem stark mute; inside I prate." "My care is like my shadow, Laid bare beneath the sun. It follows me at all times, And flies when I pursue it." "I love and yet am forced to hate, I seem stark mute; inside I prate: Some gentler love doth ease itself, Into my heart and mind. For I am soft and made of snow. Love, be more cruel or so be kind."

This is some of the best soundtrack music I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I keep watching the docudrama for it (and for Tom Hardy, of course, who could resist that Puckish smile?)

This was awesome. I won a copy of this music on CD through the BBC competition at the time. I was well happy! 😂

This song gives me chills! I love it.

This was playing in my head as I rushed to the faculty office to hand in my assignment on the deadline.

I just finished watching this for the third time. The soundtrack always sticks in my head. I'm thrilled to see it available here.

My care is like my shadow Laid bare beneath the sun It follows me at all times And flies when I pursue it I freeze and yet am always burned Since from myself again I turn I love and yet am forced to hate I seem stark mute; inside I prate Some gentler love doth ease itself Into my heart and mind For I am soft and made of snow Love, be more cruel or so be kind

My care is like my shadow Laid bare beneath the sun It follows me at all times And flies when I pursue it I freeze and yet am always burned Since from myself again I turn I love and yet am forced to hate I seem stark mute; inside I prate Some gentler love doth ease itself Into my heart and mind For I am soft and made of snow Love, be more cruel or so be kind :))))))))

Respect for this queen! From France. And nice song.

I was so excited when I bought this movie! My absolute favorite of Queen Elizabeth the first!!!!

The lyrics are from one of Queen Elizabeth's own poems.

This song is amazing and makes you think.

I fell in love with this soundtrack . It is so relaxing to listen to a true piece of music art . who would not like it .and who ever dislikes it just lacks High class taste in this beautiful piece of musical art .

Happy Birthday and RIP your Majesty, your kingdom is intact and very strong.

So very cool; love the blend of old and modern sounds. They work so well together.

Essa musica me transporta pra era medieval... 👒😍

My favorite soundtrack. I can't get out of my head.

god i love the lyrics to this song and the melody and chorus really is mesmerizing and soul-melting

Finally found this!!!!! So beautiful!!!!

I remember when i was very young and i happened to stumble upon this show on TV. When I heard this song in the credits I went to hell and back to find the soundtrack and when i found it was the mediaeval baebes, not only did i fall in love with them, but with the show and everything tudor/elizabethean. Thumbs up for medieaval baebes!

I am happy to live in the 21 century! Henry VIII a bastard!

This the music the story everything about this is amazing. I grew up watching it with my dad. Something we bonded over

The composer who wrote this music is BRILLIANT.

a musical masterpiece, so many thoughts run through my mind when i listen to this. i love it

Still love this music.

she was considered beautiful when she first ascended (before small pox) and is described as winsome and light, waving to the people from her caravan. People thought she was a good fairy come to save them after her sister's unpopularity

This music is like water. It's composition just flows without any jagged rocks.

"Monsieur's Departure" - a heartfelt poem written by HRH herself back in the 16th c

I just realized the lyrics are from Elizabeth I's poem, "On Monsieur's Departure." She wrote it when the Duke of Alençon left England.

my favorite soundtrack....amazing show....amazing actors....this is ART

This is my favorite TV movie of ALL TIME. Fantastic!!

The only thing I dislike about this song is that it’s WAY too short. I love this song so much I wish it was several minutes longer

I love this song, because one, it's awesome sounding, and two, it's closely based off of a poem Elizabeth the first actually wrote!

Beautiful piece of music that I can't get out of my head

Still in my head. Just ❤.

No sabía que esta reina fuera poetisa además, parece que era muy inteligente y demasiado avanzada para su tiempo

Oh, to be a Queen, to be loved and feared in equal measure....I can only imagine what that is like. Also, Mark the relationship to this theme and Victoria's theme! I adore it.

I just love this song, I play it almost every day while I am working. Thanks for finding, and sharing the soundtrack

This song inspires me

Thank you so much for posting this no longer published album!

Just finished watching part 2 of the series, really enjoyed it and will be recommending it to everyone.

LOVE IT!!! Thanks for posting

I hope this soundtracks can be one day put on spotify 😭

The best !!! I Love it so much ! Trank you so much for this !!!

I first watched this show when I was 11 I used to stay up late to finish it! One of the most beautiful soundtracks I’ve ever heard and it draws me back time and time again 🤍

Thanks for uploading this - I have been looking for it ever since I heard it played over the closing credits for that series and loved it. :D

Very powerful lyrics, even more so since I learnd that it was taken from a poem that Elizabeth I wrote. Remarkable she must have been!

This takes me to another world 😌... The best meditative and peaceful song ever inspite of the beats. 😇

Beautiful, thank you!!!!

A wonderful composition. And to imagine that the words were inspired by Queen Elizabeth I herself. Even though they were altered they still maintain the pain at which she felt keeping her secret love hidden whilst chasing after that ever elusive prize. Beautiful!

Essa Música me transporta através da história, uma verdadeira viagem no tempo.

Thank you for adding this! I LOVE the sound track and Queen Elizabeth the 1! :D

This version was more historically accurate than otehr versions I have seen. I love it, the music is very emotional and I'd like to buy the soundtrack if there was one

Great music and movie.

poem, written by Queen Elizabeth I: "I grieve and dare not show my discontent; I love, and yet am forced to seem to hate; I do, yet dare not say I ever meant; I seem stark mute, but inwardly do prate.

Let me or float or sink, be high or low; Or let me live with some more sweet content, Or die, and so forget what love e'er meant." Yep, I'm I like this.

This is my favoured and most accurate description. Although, once again relying on very limited evidence. But yes this one is deffos the one I like the most.

Such a sick song

thanks :))

Very Good !

Amazing music

Amazing music♥

Thanks for posting the lyrics.

Back when the BBC put out great stuff

My drama group used the first part of this song for the beginning of our production of Macbeth, I think I've listened to it so many times now, that I can recite all the words!

Passionnant😥❤

Hey hey hey! Great song. I have seen the first episode and i want see the second. I want this soundtrack to. Congrat for this and thanx. :)
