This is one of my favourite renditions (my favourite part begins at 4:25 and continues until around 5:30):

And this one's awesome too. They got over 700 amateur singers to perform it, and it's seriously wonderful.

I've been misreading ti all along. An alium is a kind of flower, isn't it? So I thought it said Ste. 

 

 

 

Oh, well.

To be completely honest, I thought it was just another latin phrase handle, like mine. Today, I decided to google what it meant, and I got heavenly music! 'Twas a pleasant surprise indeed.

From Wikipedia:

 


Spem in alium (Latin for "Hope in any other") is a 40-part Renaissance motet by Thomas Tallis, composed in c. 1570 for eight choirs of five voices each, widely considered to be the greatest piece of English early music. Sir Peter Maxwell Davies has described it as "A crowning glory of our civilisation".[1][not in citation given] Along with Tallis' Lamentations, H. B Collins describes it in Music and Letters as Tallis' "crowning achievement".[2]

But I am a Tallis lover and knew of the motet from the start.
