Just music this time around. The Tallis Scholars here sing a favorite piece of mine, Miserere Nostri, by Thomas Tallis.

  • Oh, and I'm an atheist. Beautiful music knows no bounds.

  • Translated: Have mercy on us lord, Have mercy on us.

    The top two voices are half a bar apart and a separate canon of 4 of the five lower voices at different speeds.

    Tallis was a genius. This is so beautiful I could listen to it over and over for hours.

  • @DelendaEstCarthago1 I think you have misunderstood the comment.

    Re-read.

    I don't dspute the beauty of the music, and nowhere do I suggest it.

    But as soon as someone starts typing "should" at me, then I do switch off.

  • @DelendaEstCarthago1 Very true.

  • @pianomags Music is largely a product of the environment from which it came. I think the beauty and transcendence of this music should cause you to pause and reexamine your prejudices against those times from which we have "moved on".

  • who did that fine, fine painting?

  • Hmm does it really matter if you have to be the "correct religion" (sigh) to truly appreciate what these men wrote?

    They didn't really have a choice - writing for the church was the main source of income for male musicians. And back then, it was all Catholic, until they started getting executed.

    stuff moves on guys, I mean come on. And thank goodness we have. Masterly composition is masterly composition and transcends all rigidly held views.

  • It's God's message to them. The feeling they have in connection with the music, regardless of tongue? That is Him. If they were to try to listen to Him! but no. They've decided on rejection. That the whole point of calling themselves 'There is no God' all day long, especially when there Christians around. Shows God doesn't give up on anyone! Still, again I suggest they look up the words & not reject His message to them. May God open their eyes someday. He never gives up on anyone, clearly :)

  • I suppose that even atheists can enjoy music as beautiful as Tallis', but to me, this music alone is more than sufficient proof of a higher power.
