John Tavener - The Protecting Veil

[MellorDR]

fill a room with candles and float away

[MidgetPigeons]

When we listen beautiful music we understand that the music is the only voice of real human

[dw2626]

personaly i find the music a little sugary. A little like too much candy. At first it is pleasant but after a minute or two it makes one feel sick, sick to the stomach that such a thing can pass for food. Never mind to the spiritualy starving I guess this is better than nothing

[michiru123456789]

THANK YOU!! first twentieth century period music i like!!!

i have piano homework, and need to be able to tell the difference between the late renaissance period, baroque period, classical period, romatic period, and the twentieth century one, so i thought the best way would be to look up music in those periods.

[bartoj03]

great post - thank you.

[kukulis100]

The music is so deep! Agree, the pictures are to naive to match the music.

[myke3332001]

[megaman90]

[PurpleScribblings]

One of the most sublime pieces! It literally touches the soul. Thanks for posting!!

[silverstartrucker]

One of Taveners most famous pieces is - Song for Athene - sung by the choir as they carried Diana's coffin out of Westminster Abbey. This is sublime.

[kepuysac]
