    This piece of of music is haunting and beautiful at the same time, and it reminds me of that sad day of the beautiful Princess Diana's funeral, it was such a sad, sad day. I am so glad she was of my life time.x

    Forever immortalized as the piece performed as Princess Diana's coffin left Westminster for its final resting place. A true masterpiece, Mr. Tavener!

    memorable, touching, moving, deep, profound, beautiful, timeless, sad, masterful control of vibration, evocative, peaceful, reassuringly spiritual, extraordinary, innovative, spatial, mysterious, magical, extraordinary, modern and ancient, clever piece by a living genius, hauntingly, achingly beautiful and with deep emotion, soulful
