Query: Tavener surpasses himself

And I thought Tavener couldn't make his music--you know, the piece he keeps writing over and over again--any more dreary and boring and lightweight than it already was. Yet here we are. A masterpiece of pabulum, melancholy and repetitious and excruciatingly dull.I certainly hope he some day sits down and writes that second composition we've all been waiting for.
