"May there never be a day when we aren’t passionate about life and creating beauty."

This is one of the loveliest pieces of music I know:

Vaughan Williams : Fantasia on a theme of Thomas Tallis

I have a passion for the English landscape, being English and all, and this plugs directly into my soul.

I'm playing the Williams now. Not caught yet. I'm more into original Tallis and trumpet voluntaries.

For landscapes, try this music video of mine:

Landscapes to the music of Joseph Blanchard

Several of the high-end choral ensembles in which I have performed have featured Vaughan Williams. That was my introduction to his music, which I have enjoyed.
