Tallis Scholars - Tallis: Lamentations of Jeremiah

HEY!!! that's MY kinda music!!

i have that CD too. :)

Then you must also have, Tallis Scholars - Tallis: Spem In Alum ;)

did it once with a collegiate group back in bangkok. they sounded nowhere near tallis scholars but they loved the piece and so did i.

Just before I left Japan in 1993 I snagged a ticket to see the Tallis Scholars. The program was Victoria's Requiem. It was a hot, stuffy June evening and I can remember being late running from the subway station to the performing hall. When I sat down, I was glistening with sweat and the Bermuda shorts didn't make it any easier for the people sitting next to me. ;) Anyway, it was a brilliant program, well worth the 110 clams. :)

yes. almost did Spem once with my group. managed to get the score just to realize i didn't have forty singers strong enough to stand alone on each part. also logistically and acoustically impossible to do it in our auditorium. :?

the piece is still on my wish list, though.

Oooh, I think Spem is the pinnacle of polyphony from that period. I would love to experience a live performance of that composition. In Bangkok or anywhere for that matter.

i'm sure it was a great program. i got a buncha CD's by them but never heard them live. :cry:

My favorite of the Tallis Scholars is, Palestrina: Missa Nigra Sum. The L'heritier motet on which the parody mass is based, to me that makes it a desert island pick. :)

Zeus, good to be back, and of course, where else would you find Your Humble Narrator but mucking about in a thread related to music? ;)

Time for yoga....

1. Pinnock English Concert and Choir - Handel: Belshazzar (English oratorio)

For Baroque music I prefer smaller ensemble pieces and I have a couple of Trevor Pinnock CDs because of the English Concert's use of period instruments. But the first time I heard them perform the Air movement of Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3, I said to myself, man, this is going to take a few spliffs before I get used to this! (sparse instrumentation on "traditionally" large ensemble arrangements coupled with minimal vibrato). It didn't take too long actually because I'd already prepared myself by listening to John Cale's sometimes ascerbic violin with Velvet Underground. ;)

And of course any Neil Young fan is usually ready for almost anything. LOL

I'd be curious to hear the Schoenberg piece.

~*SinG iT BaCK*~ By MoLoKo

When you are ready i will surrender

Take me and do as you will

Have what you want to

Your way is always the best way

I have succumbed to this passive sensation

Peacefully falling away

I am the zombie your wish will command me

Laugh as i fall to your knees

Bring it back

Sing it back

Bring it back

Sing it back to me

Bring it back

Sing it back

Bring it back

Sing it back to me

Can i control this empty delusion?

Lost in the fire below

And you come running your eyes will be open

And when you come back

I'll be as you want me

Only so eager to please

My little song will keep you beside me

Thinking your name as i sing

Bring it back

Sing it back

Bring it back

Sing it back to me

No you can't help it if you have been tempted

By fruit hanging ripe from the tree

And i feel useless

Don't care what the truth is

You will be here come the day

Trut do you here me, don't try to

come near me

So tired i sleep through the lie

If you desire to lay here beside me

Come to my sweet melody

Bring it back

Sing it back

Bring it back

Sing it back to me

Bring it back

Sing it back

Bring it back

Sing it back to me

Bring it back

Sing it back

Bring it back

Sing it back to me

Bring it back (sing it back to me)

Bring it back (sing it back to me)

~*LosT in SPaCe*~ By LiGHTHouSe FaMiLy

Sometimes I get tired of this me-first attitude

You are the one thing that keeps me smiling

That's why I'm always wishing hard for you

'Cause your light shines so bright

I don't feel no solitude

You are my first star at night

I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you

How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

Feels just so fine

When we touch the sky me and you

This is my idyll of heaven

Why can't it always be so good?

But it's all right, I know you're out there

Doing what you've gotta do

You are my soul satellite

I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you

How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

And I'll never lose my faith in you

How will I ever get to heaven, if I do

And I'll never lose my faith in you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
