Thomas Tallis (c1505-85) As he did live, so also did he die,
In mild and quiet Sort.
(O! happy Man)
The inscription on Tallis's gravestone is a fitting tribute to a composer whose creative life spanned four reigns and a period of religious upheavals in 16th-century England.

Giufa is an archetypal Sicilian buffoon, about whom stories abound. In spite of his apparently limited understanding - or perhaps because of it - Giufa often wins in the end.
