Actually I should tell you that Gloucester Cathedral is a spiritual domain for me - aside from the obvious religious connotation. One of my favourite pieces of music, possibly the most favourite, is 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis' and this was composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1910 and guess where it was first played? Yep. More: the Three Choirs Festival is still going strong and almost 100 years to the day guess what Alma and I wen to hear and where. Yep. I am rarely moved to tears but to hear what is for me the most inspirational piece of music I know, in the place where it was first performed, at such a historic junction in time, was a bit much. A bucket list tick as the yanks would say. Thanks for the photographic reminder Mark.
