He's so right about Tallis...I'm an atheist, and the Tallis Scholars' rendition of Allegri's 'Miserere' is simply breathtaking. I made sure it was played at my father's funeral last year September. He was a Christian minister. My father died of a sudden heart attack, a day after his birthday and two days after mine. We had never talked that much about death, but I remember he once said that he wasn't interested in living to any ripe old age. I'm glad I didn't have to watch him suffer. I've been thinking a lot about euthanasia lately. And my position is that if I were ever in a position where I couldn't take care of myself, and saw no hope that my condition would change, I would want to die. I don't remember his name but a year or two ago, a famous British composer and his wife decided to on Euthanasia after one of them was diagnosed with a terminal illness. They died together, holding hands I think, with their favourite music playing. There's something noble about this that appeals to me. If I get to choose, I'd like to die to the strains of Barber's 'Adagio for Strings'
