XL (Spem in Alium)
At the dramatic conclusion of our 2024 tour, we team up with Hobart’s Allegri Ensemble (directed by Jonathan Wallis) to present Thomas Tallis’ mighty 40-part motet Spem in alium at St Mary’s Cathedral. Made famous by the Tallis Scholars, Spem in alium was composed around 1570, and uses 40 totally separate vocal parts to produce an aural effect you will never forget. Also featured is Omnes angeli, a 40-part motet by Melbourne composer Vaughan McAlley, which offers a glimpse into how angels might sound singing in heaven, and other music from our Choral Delights of 7 Centuries program.
