Premiered as part of the 1910 Three Choirs Festival at Gloucester Cathedral, FANTASIA ON A THEME BY THOMAS TALLIS borrows the melody from the English Renaissance composer's "Third Tune (Psalm 2)" of his 9 PSALM TUNES FOR ARCHBISHOP PARKER'S PSALTER. Full of mystical harmonies that have one foot in the Renaissance and another in the 20th-century, this richly textured fantasia for double string orchestra and a solo string quartet has entered the orchestral repertoire, with frequent concert performances and recordings around the world. 11x14 score.This product is Printed on Demand and may take several weeks to fulfill.
