*Wrong aspect. :( Sir John Kenneth Tavener (28 January 1944 – 12 November 2013) was an English composer, known for his extensive output of religious works, including The Protecting Veil, Song for Athene and The Lamb. The Lamb is a choral work by British composer John Tavener composed in 1982. It is a setting to music of the William Blake poem The Lamb from Blake's collection of poems Songs of Innocence. It is one of Tavener's best known works. The Lamb featured in the soundtrack for Paolo Sorrentino's film The Great Beauty (2013, Italian: La grande bellezza). While Tavener's earliest music was influenced by Igor Stravinsky and Olivier Messiaen – often invoking the sound world of Stravinsky, in particular Canticum Sacrum, and the ecstatic quality found in various works by Messiaen – his later music became more sparse, using wide registral space and was usually diatonically recognised Arvo Pärt as “a kindred spirit“ and shared with him a common religious tradition and a fondness for textural transparency.
