Spem In Alium

湯瑪斯-塔利斯和他的學生威廉-伯德都是英國文藝復興時期最優秀的作曲家。這張唱片是為紀念塔利斯誕辰 500 周年而發行的，收錄了他為教堂創作的最大型作品。塔利斯年輕時創作的聖歌《Salve intemerata》是整個 16 世紀最長的單樂章之一。為 40 個獨立聲部譜寫的《Spem in alium》是塔利斯成熟時期的作品，與當時其他任何英國作品相比都相形見絀。它在比例和構思上都堪稱交響樂，是塔利斯最偉大的傑作"

原文簡介:
Along with his pupil William Byrd, Thomas Tallis was the finest composer of the English Renaissance. This recording, released to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Tallis's birth, features his largest compositions for the church. The motet Salve intemerata, written when Tallis was a young man, is one of the longest single movements of the entire 16th century. Scored for forty independent voices, Spem in alium, a work of Tallis's maturity, dwarfs any other English work of the period. Symphonic in its proportions and conception, it is Tallis's greatest masterpiece.
