Interesting that you should respond with the Tallis! I don’t know his music well, nor this particular kind of music; but I had a friend, Madeleine L’Engle (the writer, you may recognize her name) who LOVED both, and so I have happy associations with it.
The note on my YouTube says that the words are adapted from the Book of Judith. Which also makes me smile — being Judith.
