| Name: | THIRD MODE MELODY |
| Composer: | Thomas Tallis (1561) |
| Meter: | 8.6.8.6 D |
| Key: | d minor |
| Notes: | When led well, the tune THIRD MODE MELODY captures the sentiment of this text perfectly. Perhaps the best way to introduce this melody to a group of singers is to have them listen to the stirring orchestral setting of the tune by Ralph Vaughan Williams (Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis). It would be good to have a solo voice sing st.1, with all joining at st. 2, which textually is a sort of reboot of the psalm. A good alternate tune is RESIGNATION. In either case, give care that the singing does not drag. It should be gentle but buoyant. |
