Thank you. Is this from the movie, or who performed that wonderful piece? Now if you were to find the original Tallis?

*hopefuls*

Sorry. I should offer more information :) I thought it's fascinating to see the sheet according to the music...

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. First performance in Gloucester Cathedral, and so I think I prefer this version as you get the intended acoustics and a look at the cathedral: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihx5LCF1yJY

A wonderful performance of a lovely piece, and being able to watch (I dare not say 'read') the music adds an extra dimension. Thank you for this!

the third mode melody - a wonderful and haunting line in the original- great to see it in this form and thank you for posting :)

vaughan Williams as well as using it in the fantasia added hte tune to the hymnbook he edited and from there it has spread to other hymnbooks set to varioous words but there is a particular poem - a recent one which is set to it now that would be sung in holy week =very moving
will send you and esteven a copy of words

Copy would be great. It's a fantastic piece of music which makes me wish I could read notes... I'm grateful that Peter Weir chose it for MandC. It is soooo sad but soooo beautiful... *sighs*

[esteven]

It is lovely indeed, and it inspired me to a fic a while ago. :)

[amaraal]

It is a sad fic?
