Product Details


Product Description

String quartet or String Orchestra.  In this humble tribute to Ralph Vaughan Williams, I offer this Fantasia on another theme from Thomas Tallis's contribution in 1567 to Archbishop Parker's Psalter: his Seventh Tune for Psalm 52. My Fantasia tries to reflect David's feelings of disgust, anger and sadness, but also his calm confidence in God.

Why do you boast of your evil deeds, you champion of malice? 
All day long you plot harm; your tongue is like a sharpened razor,
you master of deceit. etc.

Any similarities to RVW's piece are entirely deliberate. DURATION: 5-6 minutes
