1. I really like John Tavener's music, and have sung some of it.

He claimed to be a descendent of the English composer John Taverner (1490–1545), whose music I have also sung. Tavener's stuff is more difficult than Taverner's; once of his pieces is in both Greek and Old Church Slavonic, which was quite a challenge... great stuff, though.
