Judy (think I lost my comment???)
Anyway just wanted to say thanks for putting up this beautiful piece – my favorite – has many good memories, especially one of my younger son learning it note by note at age 4, by ear listening to his older brother practice it for one of his earliest music lessons…
and then its a great prequel for us as we prepare to attend the NSO’s Handel’s Messiah this Sunday at the Kennedy Center (mainly because the soprano Sherezade Panthaki is the talented daughter of a classmate of mine from India, whom I recently reconnected with, but I’d always wanted to listen to Handel’s Messiah at this time of the year anyway…)
So many coincidences and connections, isn’t it? like you found you learnt that words of the Tallis (was it?) was adapted from, let’s say, your book ;)
