Answer: Ralph Vaughan-Williams (1872- 1958) Talliss original tune is in the Phrygian mode and was one of nine he contributed to the Psalter of 1567 for the Archbishop of Canterbury. In structure this piece resembles the Elizabethan-age fantasy. The theme is heard in its entirety three times during the course of the work, but the music grows from the themes constituent motives or fragments, with variations upon them. A secondary melody, based on the original, is first heard on the solo viola about a third of the way into the Fantasia, and this theme forms the climax of the work about five minutes before the end.
