Spem in alium Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I just got it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cn7ZW8ts3Y :winner: :woot: :yahoo: This is one of my favourite renditions (my favourite part begins at 4:25 and continues until around 5:30): [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZfujI9CXyw[/youtube] And this one's awesome too. They got over 700 amateur singers to perform it, and it's seriously wonderful.

Luigi Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, well. :console: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 My Latin's rusty, but I assumed it meant Hope In Others - correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
