I used to have a Freeman String Synth….I haven’t seen one since the 70’s or early 80’s….quite heavy as I recall……..

I suppose this is how Thomas Tallis might have sounded if he had access to an Eminent, and Elka Rhapsody, a Korg PE2000 and a Freeman String Symphonizer.
I really love this piece - it has a really out-of-sorts harmony near the beginning and never lets up from that angular beginning. The bass works as a counterpoint to the main melody (as opposed to just being an accompaniment) and the tenor and alto lines act almost like a call-and-response.
He got a lot of mileage out of four voices, our Tommy did.
