Thomas Tallis : Third Mode Melody

Although it can be played on a piano, this piece is ideal on a sustaining instrument such as an organ or keyboard. Tallis' theme has been used in the Hymn: Why fumeth in the Fight, and also by Vaughan Williams in his Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis which featured in the film "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World". We also have an arrangement of this piece for four SATB recorders.
