EVENT COPY: Spem in alium is an extraordinary listening experience, a multi-layered tapestry of individual threads making for a monumental immersion in sound. With its contrast between overlapping vocal lines and monumental blocks of sound, Tallis' masterpiece is as impressive now as when first performed over four and a half centuries ago. It's joined by the daring innovation of Josquin des Prez, plus two lesser-known but significant contemporaries from England and Flanders, in a programme of immense intricacy exploring the sonorities of crack ecclesiastical choirs.
