Title NameFantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Marketing CopyPremiered as part of the 1910 Three Choirs Festival at Gloucester Cathedral, FANTASIA ON A THEME BY THOMAS TALLIS borrows the melody from the English Renaissance composer's "Third Tune (Psalm 2)" of his 9 PSALM TUNES FOR ARCHBISHOP PARKER'S PSALTER. Full of mystical harmonies that have one foot in the Renaissance and another in the 20th-century, this richly textured fantasia for double string orchestra and a solo string quartet has entered the orchestral repertoire, with frequent concert performances and recordings around the world.
Instrumentation2 Str Orch (SO1: 7-7-4-4-4; SO2: 1-1-1-1-1): Solo Str Quartet (solos written into SO1 parts)
