40 Parts for 40 Days: Stile Antico sings Spem in Alium

To mark forty days of lockdown in the UK, Stile Antico has created this socially-distanced recording of Thomas Tallis' legendary forty-part motet, Spem in alium, using smartphones and tablets. We hope its affirmative text and monumental musical confidence provide hope and strength in these troubled times.


Spring 2020 should have seen the group touring extensively in the UK, America and Japan. Instead, we do not know when we will be able to give concerts again.
