Spem in alium

Album by Thomas Tallis & Winchester Cathedral Choir & David Hill

Spem in alium is a 40-part motet by English composer Thomas Tallis, composed around 1570. The work is scored for eight choirs of five voices each and employs dense polyphony and antiphonal effects across a large spatial ensemble, representing a distinctive large-scale example of English Renaissance choral writing within Tallis's oeuvre and music history.
