Song for Athene by Sir John Tavener - Funeral of Princess Diana

September 6, 1997, London, Westminster Abbey - The most hauntingly, beautiful song I have ever heard, "Song for Athene by Sir John Tavener. It is a powerful song with a medieval sound that reverberates through the ancient walls. A perfectly chosen song to escort Princess Diana from Westminster Abbey. Accompanied by the half-muffled bells of the abbey, ringing out the sorrow and broken-hearts of England, indeed of the whole world for one who seemed to be too perfect for this world. We love you and miss you Princess Diana. A true Princess!

remembering the funeral 14 years ago, this taverner piece brings me to tears and gives me goosebumps . I have never heard anything like it.

[LoreneFaith]

@Australiophile I agree. It is one of the most beautiful and spiritual things that I have ever heard.

@koenigma77 Why???



[MsNEPTUNE1]

@koenigma77 The Truth is what has destroyed this Country! Diana was used and removed! But she will come to see another day through her son William when he becomes King!
