Second fantasia on John Taverner's In nomine

"Where the First Taverner Fantasia develops straight out of the sixteenth-century original, the Second is a long meditation more obliquely connected to the past. Its nearer relations are with the opera Taverner, where nearly all this music appears in transitions and accompaniments: it is, indeed, a Taverner symphony, beginning with a long sonata-allegro, continuing with a scherzo, and ending with a slow movement that also ends the opera."--Paul Griffiths.
