This multi-choir project takes on the rarely-performed “Spem in Alium” (Latin for "Hope in any other") by Thomas Tallis (c. 1505–1585), composed c. 1570. A spectacular motet with eight five-part choruses results in forty distinct lines. Experience this sonic wonder with multiple pop-up up performances taking place:
