Ralph Vaughn Williams - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

In this episode we take another foray into classical music. Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis is extremely easy on the ears. But will people slow down and take the time to listen in the 21st century? This piece is technically a re-imagining of someone else's work, so we also talk about covers and what makes a good one. There are links to the songs we discuss below. As usual, Dan tortures so many metaphors we almost have to call in the ACLU.
