Music What are we listening to?

For Phil. Also the best album cover if you look closer for the meaning.

Debut Sprints album. A cracker for fans of the likes of Idles, Pixies and BRMC.

I only discovered this last week and think it's a bit of a belter, bit of a belter, bit of a belter, a bit of a belter .... maybe a little repetitive, but seems to be a trend.
 
Kings Singers 'If Ye Love Me' taken from John's Gospel. Music by Thomas Tallis, England's finest composer of the period. A devoted Roman Catholic, his life spanned the Reformation and he composed for Henry VIII, Edward VI, Queen Mary, and Elizabeth I. He was even permitted, by Mary, to use the Tyndale Bible which is why this rendition is slightly different from the verse in the authorized version.

Kings Singers again with Te lucis ante terminum (Before the ending of the day). A prayer attributed to St. Ambrose set to music by Tallis. Those who attend compline will recognize this.
 
A recording from the days of the old USSR of Rachmaninoff's 'Vespers' the night vigil. The Ministry of Culture Chamber Choir were world-renowned in their day and were sent round the world to perform.
