Could this be the most moving piece of music ever written? Sound quality isn't perfect, but it's the only rendition I could find with the oboe (my favourite orchestral instrument) solo. It would be equally suitable for a wedding or a funeral. I remember they played it at princess Diana's funeral.

Yes it was a church organ in the Chapel of Hobart & William Smith college in Geneva NY the organist was from the college and the violinist was a friend from RIT, I think. That was a few years ago and during the service I was a bit busy with my one grandson, I was holding him and during the service I kept him quiet by letting him shred a flower that he had been given. He pulled the pedals off one at a time and luckily it took him most of the service to do it. The reception was at Ventosa Vineyards which was right across the end of the lake.
I regard David Bowie as an overrated artist. None of his music appealed to me and his album Never Let Me Down (1987) is regarded as one of the worst of all time.

You’re not looking deep enough. Bowie was so slick, he transcended slick.
Just like Iris is so raw, she transcends raw to the same truth that Bowie transcended to.
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

I'm doing the best that I can.
Yes I know and that is exactly why it's so tragic.
What do you expect? that I should live down to your expectations?
No, that you wouldn't post such cloying mawkish rubbish unless you are doing it as a joke. If you want to listen to religious music at least make it decent music. Some of the greatest music ever written is religious music.
