Today we share two very simple, calm, and pure pieces. Charlotte Wheeler from our audience requested the Tallis, perhaps the composer’s most-often sung work. It portrays a very tender tranquility – so lovely to listen to! Since it is so short, I decided to begin with a Medieval piece that is 300 years older.
