| Description: This piece combines the simple, elegant thematic material of the Elizabethan church composer Tallis, with the expanded and modernized luxurious harmonies of Vaughan Williams. Hoffman's lush setting adapts and re-scores the original to work with a standard string orchestra. Fantasia was used with great effect in the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. |
