Jethro Tull - Requiem
Was never a big fan of Tull’s modern rock stuff, but loved a lot of the medieval pieces he composed for albums like Minstrel in the Gallery and Broadsword and Beast.
One of my favorite songs of this type was off Gallery. “Requiem” is a hauntingly beautiful song that hearkens back to a simpler age. You can almost close your eyes and be transported to a bygone era of firelight chambers and English gardens.
It’s just one of those songs that seems to end too soon; it could go one forever.
As always, my policy is that if anyone would like a download link for this song, just make a Comment below and ask - I’ll hook you up with a link in a comment-reply of my own (check back with this article).

Chas, if you have a chance, check out “Slow Marching Band” off Broadsword and Beast. It is also great.
