Dal informace:

Tallis's monumental Spem in alium is one of the greatest glories of Western polyphony, and its pre-echoes and aftershocks reverberate through all the other pieces on this disc. The massed voices of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain shed dazzling light on their multifaceted programme of polychoral jewels from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, interspersed with virtuoso tributes from three leading contemporary composers including Gabriel Jackson's own 40-part motet.

'A new piece by Gabriel Jackson lends this collection its title. Despite the funereal origins of the text, it's a radiant, virtuoso essay and a touching homage to Tallis's Spem in alium ... Under Mike Brewer's expert direction, the young voices of the National Youth Choir make properly massive impact.'
