"in no other is my hope"
Something completely different from what is normally posted or linked to here. A 'vocal only' motet, 40-part at that. Listen to it, it's masterful. I once watched (or more listened) to a concert of the Tallis Scholars performing in the Royal Festival Hall in London. Gret, real great.
"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, considered by some critics to be the greatest piece of English early music. Along with Tallis's Lamentations, H. B. Collins described it in 1929 as Tallis's "crowning achievement"."
