part of Tallis' Virtual Voice, a project conceived and sponsored by the Thomas Tallis Society centred around Spem in alium. It comprises a new multitrack recording by Andrew Leslie Cooper, a comprehensive performance resource for the piece, and this radical new edition by Hugh Keyte. Hugh’s edition is particularly significant since it is the first in recent times to have been derived primarily from analysis of the earliest surviving source (BL Egerton 3512); all other extant editions appear to derive from the not entirely successful attempt made by an unnamed 18 th century antiquarian (Royal Music MS 4.g.1), with issues such as obvious textural underlay problems and missing emphases carried over. Furthermore Hugh’s edition recognises that the piece is conceived for four ten part double choirs rather than eight five part choirs as popularly construed.

The 11-part arrangement of Spem in alium is intended for use by anyone who does not happen to have eight 5-part choirs to hand, for the enjoyment of singers and to give them an overview of the work. When the full 40-part score is sung, only the audience can hear what is going on: the singers cannot. In this arrangement, the full complement of voices, such as it is, is used only in the few places where Tallis used his full 40. It is recommended that the singers stand as indicated at the bottom of page 1 in order to gain the benefit of antiphonal effects. The numerous dissonances in the score may sound harsher in this arrangement, because there are fewer other competing voices, and can be attenuated by singing one of the notes involved more softly if the performers so wish. (Alternatively, of course, they may be emphasised.) I would be interested to receive any feedback from singers. Sectional scores are available by e-mail upon request. (MickSwithinbank at gmail.com). As from September 2019, a similar arrangement of the work that is commonly thought to have inspired Tallis - Striggio's Ecce beatam lucem - is also available on cpdl. However, recent research by Hugh Keyte (2021) - see link supplied with his score of Spem in alium - suggests that Spem was prompted not by the Striggio motet itself but by the Mass that Striggio himself based on it, scored for 40 voices, and for 60 in the Agnus Dei.

If desired these can replace the equivalent pages in the smaller format scores. The CPDL ##22557–60 set with 11 to 13 pages are transposed versions a whole tone higher than written pitch.

The researches of Davitt Moroney have made it almost certain that the extraordinary work performed in London in June 1567, and which formed the direct inspiration for this equally astonishing motet of Thomas Tallis, was the same composition of Striggio, namely the <i>Missa sopra Ecco sì beato giorno</i>, written variously in 8–40 parts, with a brief but climactic 60–voice setting of <i>Agnus Dei</i>. </p><p>In addition to the letters of Striggio himself, a 1611 account by one Thomas Wateridge, a law student at the Temple, bears witness to the story. According to his account, after hearing the 40–part “song” a nobleman: </p> <blockquote><p><small>asked whether none of our Englishmen could sett as good a songe […] Tallice beinge very skilfull was felt to try whether he would undertake ye Matter, wch he did and made one of 40 partes wch was songe in the longe gallery at Arundell house.</small></p></blockquote> <p>Arundel House was the London home of Henry FitzAlan, the 12th Earl of Arundel. However his country residence, Nonsuch Palace, possessed an octagonal banqueting hall, and a catalogue of music in the library at Nonsuch, drawn up in 1596, reveals the existence of a score of <i>Spem in alium</i>. In addition to its octagonal layout the banqueting hall had four ﬁrst-ﬂoor balconies, so that it is possible Tallis designed for the music to be sung not only in the round, but with four of the eight choirs singing from the balconies. </p><p>Musically, the motet is a <i>tour de force</i> on many levels, not least for Tallis’ masterful exploitation of his choirs’ spatial distribution. If the choirs are arranged in circular fashion sequentially by number, then the music “rotates” through the opening points of imitation on <i>Spem in alium nunquam habui</i> (choirs I to IV) and <i>Præter in te, Deus Israel</i> (choirs V to VIII). After a short interjection from choirs III and IV (which functions antiphonally as "decani" to the "cantoris" of choirs VII and VIII) Tallis completes the circle with the entry of the ﬁnal bass voice of Choir VIII; shortly afterwards, at the fourtieth breve of the work, all forty voices enter in the ﬁrst of a series of massive welters of sound, which has been described as "polyphonic detailism". The next imitative section which follows at <i>qui irasceris et propitius eris</i> reverses the direction of rotation as new voices enter against varied countersubjects in the parts already established. </p><p>Tallis also manages to combine the exchanges between choirs in four different antiphonal arrangements, by amalgamating the singers in four groups of two choirs (as hinted at above), so antiphony can pass back between both "north" and "south", but also between "east" and "west"), but also as two groups of four choirs (<i>ie</i> one massive 20–voice choir against another) which can be arranged in two different ways (north and west versus east and south, or north and east versus south and west). </p><p>After the most intricate chordal passage so disposed between the various choirs, Tallis contrives the entire choir of 40 voices to enter as one after a pause, "upon a magical change of harmony". With the words <i>respice humilitatem nostram</i> Tallis ends with the most strikingly unhumble polyphonic passage yet heard, framed by the strong harmonic rhythms of the ensemble. The view that this might be Tallis' <i>opus magnum</i> is intriguingly suggested by Hugh Keyte's observation of a possible numerological signiﬁcance in the work's duration being exactly 69 long notes: in the Latin alphabet, TALLIS adds up to 69.               </p>    </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var sc_project=11212799; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_security="bc22d214"; var scJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
