That Tallis tune never fails to give me gooseflesh. What amazes me about it is its fearless simplicity and straightforwardness, which in my view lends it much of its beauty.

Yes, I guess most of it is lost, but I do believe musicologists are still discovering "new" music in old and forgotten manuscripts scattered in the libraries of Europe.

That's something I've always wanted to do - go digging around in European libraries for unknown music and publishing it. They don't let just anybody in such places to do that, though, and I suppose that's for the best.
