I heard this installation in the beautiful Great Hall of Winchester Castle! Was attracted by a poster on the street naming a 40-part-motet, already hoping it had to do with "Spem in alium", which I nearly know by heart from CD listening. (Was misguided, too, by the fact, that J. Cardiff is posed over Tallis as an author of it. The choir was at least named on a plate within the installation). Thanks to Salisbury C Choir for that performance! Loved to "walk around" between your singers....!

There were about 4 of us to each part - each group sung down the mic. There were fewer men than boys + girls though so they may have been individually micked...

I sung in this recording!!! Can't for the life of me remember which part! Slightly dissapointed the choir wasn't acknowledged...
It's Salisbury Cathedral Choir (Both boys and girls, with normal six lay vicars and other men singing) Was an absolutely amazing experience!!
I have a c.d of the Sixteen Choir directed by Harry Christophers - fantastic!

This installation actually came through the Alberta College of Art (where I am a student) last spring. It was absolutely stunning, I don't know how many hours I spent down in the gallery just listening. The overall effect is haunting, proof that art doesn't have to be visual, it can be as much about putting a new spin on a familiar subject.
I've listened to choirs in the round before, but even then you couldn't just waltz up to each individual member to take a closer listen.

its called collaborative work
all human discourse- art/music/dance, and what we see today is a basic evolution from a larger historical context. Artists have always borrowed from the past, hell look at the Greeks and Romans.

I saw this back in March 06 at the MoMA, impressive... Wish it was permanently there.

Who's the real creative artist here? Janet Cardiff, or Thomas Tallis? Is Janet Cardiff talented enough to write music as good a this?

You've got a point, but her idea really showcased it.
