1. KISS Dynasty

lol - just kidding (as I was in your Kiss-Elder thread last night, tho there IS good Kiss).

Flyod cannot be a wrong choice, although I'd suggest another alternative tonight - turn off all electronic media and go sit on your porch or patio or balcony and just listen to the earth around you tonight

Just a thought.

:)

2. But but...I'm at work for the next 10 minutes

Then outside and crickets, I promise!

And yes, Kiss did some great albums - Destroyer and Alive, but Dynasty and Elder were not of that caliber...

7. "The Western Wynde"

John Taverner (b. circa 1490 - d. October 18, 1545) is regarded as the most important English composer of his day and an important link between medieval and renaissance music. He was also an organist.

Taverner was born in south Lincolnshire. He was employed in a church in Tattershall in the early 1520s, and in 1526 became the first choirmaster at Cardinal's College, Oxford (now Christ Church, Oxford) in 1526. He left there in 1530 having been briefly imprisoned for heresy in 1528 after becoming involved in a Lutheran scandal. He was subsequently a lay clerk at the parish church of St. Botolph in Boston.

It is often said that Taverner later abandoned music and worked as an agent of Thomas Cromwell assisting in the Dissolution of the Monasteries, although the veracity of this is now thought to be highly questionable.

Most of Taverner's music is vocal, and includes masses, Magnificats and motets. The bulk of his output is thought to date from the 1520s. His best known mass is based on a popular song, "The Western Wynde" (John Sheppard and Christopher Tye later also wrote masses based on this same song). A part of the Benedictus of his mass Gloria tibi Trinitas was used as the prototype for instrumental works by many other composers with the name In nomine.

- John Taverner should not be confused with the 20th-21st century British composer John Tavener.
