The Tallis Fantasia came into being as the result of a commission for the Three Choirs Festival of 1910. It is based on a tune by the 16th-century English composer Thomas Tallis, which Vaughan Williams had come across while editing the English Hymnal, published in 1906.
It is played here by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Bryden Thomson.
The paintings are by the British artist Sir George Clausen.

Possibly one of my favourite musical pieces. There is never a dull moment and it always manages to trigger something deep within my soul. As always accompanied by gorgeous paintings, by an artist I was unfamiliar with. Thank you once again.
Another version of the Tallis Fantasia…not that you can have too many!
Thank you David ❤ I love this artwork!

David you’ve done it again with the perfect match of music and pictures. One of the early ones used on the CD cover of RVW early chamber music including his wonderful piano quintet. The very soul of Englishness. Thank you so much and as one of your subscribers so rightly says, perfect for Sunday morning reflections….before Church.
