Angelic!

@altareggo I sang the piece with a 40-voice choir a number of years ago, and I rarely actually had to sing anything. It definitely seemed like everybody was singing at the end, but through most of the piece, definitely not.

@altareggo Ops.. sorry, reading a comment of 1 year ago I learn that the Tallis Scholars recorded Spem in alium with addictional voices.
-
@altareggo i think they recorded each choir and then mixed them together, as The King's Singers did. There are many points where all 40 people are singing: i.e. "praeter in te, Deus Israel", "in tribulationem", "Respice" and the end.

The Tallis Scholars have 10 singers. How do they perform a 40 voice motet?? Do they scour the landscape for the other 30 singers, or do they each take 4 parts or what? What is the minimum number of singers that it takes to perform this thing anyway? Are there any points in the motet where all 40 people are singing?
-
Can anyone tell me how many recordings The Thomas Tallis Scholars have made of Spem in Allium? I love this particular recording and wish to get hold of a copy.
Many thanks!

Just sang this in Oakham at the TSSS with a few of the Scholars to boot! How thrilling it was!! I hope to have the opportunity again someday. I surely hope Mr Tallis got to hear his masterpiece.

Yes, I'd say if you aren't right on with the counting, it's extremely easy to get lost in the texture. Sometimes I'd just be sitting back enjoying the gorgeous sound, and be like oh crap I just missed my entrance...

I remember seeing the Tallis Scholars performing this at Sherborne Abbey in Dorset a good few years ago and will never forget the principal sopranos, during the louder sections (e.g. at around the 5:00 minute mark), leaning backwards as if having to sing into a storm of sound and singing at full throttle but with perfect control.
