The melancholy mood continues and I find myself drawn to the music of Purcell (Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary 1662-1694) and Tallis (Lamentations of Jeremiah). Despite the titles, I find these works consoling, healing and, ultimately, uplifting. I think it has something to do with the solemnity, the stillness, the purity of the voices - it resonates with me at a very deep level and helps to soothe my soul.
