Music Monday--Ralph Vaughan Williams

This is another of my favorite pieces--Fantasy on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Ralph Vaughan Williams.  When my dh was a senior in college, he conducted the wind ensemble version of this piece.

This clip is from the movie Williamstowne by Richard Horian.  It is set completely to music by Vaughan Williams and is a ballet-like telling of a poignant story of love, loss, and moving on.

  1. This music seems to absorb me. Usually I absorb the music I am listening to, but in this case, it draws me to it. Make sense? Btw, I really liked the nature video you had posted originally. Can I have the link to it?
