The twenty-ninth classical recording: #14 Thomas Tallis - Lamentations of Jeremiah
Going back in time once more, we get a collection of choral numbers - bible texts set to music. Their contents are reverent, set in a time where reformation changed churches, and as the book says - they sound best with one voice per line, creating something intimate and enforcing the loneliness in the lamentations. The emotion comes across well, as the music suits the mood more than other choral pieces of the time felt like they do to me.
