  • Song for Athene (también conocido como «Alleluia. May Flights of Angels Sing Thee to Thy Rest») es una composición musical del compositor británico John Tavener con letras de Madre Thekla, una monja ortodoxa, destinada a ser cantada a capela por un coro SATB a cuatro partes (soprano, alto, tenor y bajo). Es la obra más conocida de Tavener,​ fue interpretada por el Coro de la Abadía de Westminster bajo la dirección de Martin Neary​ en la misa funeral de Diana de Gales, el 6 de septiembre de 1997 mientras el cortejo fúnebre partía de la Abadía de Westminster.​ La pieza, que fue un encargo de la BBC, fue escrita en abril de 1993 por Tavener como un homenaje a Athene Hariades, una joven actriz amiga de la familia que murió en un accidente de ciclismo. En el momento en que ella murió, Athene Hariades estaba trabajando como profesora de inglés y teatro en la Universidad Helénica de Londres. Tavener dijo de Hariades: «Su belleza, tanto exterior como interior, se refleja en su amor por la actuación, la poesía, la música y la Iglesia Ortodoxa»-​ Tavener la escuchó leyendo a Shakespeare en la Abadía de Westminster, y después de su funeral, desarrolló la idea de componer una canción que combinara las palabras del servicio fúnebre ortodoxo y Hamlet de Shakespeare. La obra fue publicada por Chester Music en 1997.​ (es)

Commissioned by the BBC, the piece was written in April 1993 by Tavener as a tribute to Athene Hariades, a young half-Greek actress who was a family friend killed in a cycling accident. At the time that she died, Athene Hariades was working as a teacher of English and Drama at the Hellenic College of London. Tavener said of Hariades: "Her beauty, both outward and inner, was reflected in her love of acting, poetry, music and of the Orthodox Church." He had heard her reading Shakespeare in Westminster Abbey, and after her funeral, developed the idea of composing a song which combined words from the Orthodox funeral service and Shakespeare's Hamlet. The work was published by Chester Music in 1997. (en)
