Benediction (2021) by Terence Davies, Clip: Siegfried Sassoon - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

The Image: Sorry, pure indulgence on my part - and a stroke of genius on Terence Davies part to end the film with an elderly and failing Siegfried Sassoon recalling his younger self sitting on a park bench - aestheticofthe... - as 'Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis' by Vaughan Williams washes over the image.
Dusk. A kind of salvation.
Very beautiful 'English' music.
I won't bore you but this one piece of music changed by life in a way when my father played it to me when I was a truculent teenager of about 14. I was bewitched. It made me more serious for want of a better expression.
I even mentioned this anecdote when I gave the oration at my father's funeral many years later.
