'fantasia on a theme by thomas Tallis'
by vaughan Williams. Britains greatest composer.
I have recently, last tuesday, gone totally deaf in my left ear, and a satisfactory diagnosis or solution has not been found yet, it just faded away.
(waiting for bits to start dropping off soon)
I am finding sleep a little hard to find with my work load, and the strange sensation that I have an ear defender glued to my left ear,(and yes I've checked)
But the soothing lilt of Williams melody,
never fails to relax me and let me fade off into slumber.
Please listen to this as it is the best and most moving of all classical music,
and its British to the core.
It conjures for me a scene of when my children were young, innocent and small, with us all venturing across the corn fields of Lincolnshire, a time when all was right with the world and hope was unbounded to all that the children could achieve with a little guidance.
I defy anyone not to be moved by these pieces.
