Tallis-Gaude glorious, Sancte Deux, Spem in alium (40 part Motet)

"Within the ideal acoustics of Merton College Chapel, Oxford, the Tallis Scholars give a thrilling account of the famous 40-part motet, Spem in alium, in which the astonishingly complex polyphony is spaciously separated over a number of point sorces, yet blending as a satisfying whole to reach a massive climax. The breath and depth of sound are spectacular."

The highlight of this programme is the famous 40-part motet Spem in alium which, together with a selection of Tallis' Latin anthems and antiphons, offers a superb introduction to Tudor Church music.

"Not only is the choir superb and the interpretation an intelligent one; this is also the only recording in which the eight choirs seem genuinely to sing from different positions."
