Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
This piece combines the simple, elegant thematic material of Elizabethan church composer Thomas Tallis, expanded and modernized through the luxurious harmonies of Ralph Vaughan Williams. A setting for band was long overdue, and Jay Bocook does a masterful job of transforming the original work for string orchestra into a magnificant setting for winds. Fantasia was used to great effect in the recent film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Dur: 3:45 (Includes full performance CD)
