'Why fum'th in fight?' by Thomas Tallis | Classic FM

Commissioned by Archbishop Matthew Parker, 'Why fum'th in fight?' is the third in a collection of eight verses set to music by leading English Renaissance composer, Thomas Tallis. The haunting tune has enjoyed much popularity since the the early 20th century, after it formed the basis for Ralph Vaughan Williams' soaring 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis'. This rendition, directed by Andrew Earis, is performed by St Martin's Voices while stood over the former Archbishop's burial chamber in the Chapel of Lambeth Palace, whose website can be reached here: https://www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/lambeth-palace ____________ Classic FM is the UK's favourite classical music station, playing the most relaxing music.
