Spem in alium at MoMA
January 31st, 2006 | Tags: music
Disquiet has an article about an installation at MoMA by Janet Cardiff. In the installation, Tallis’ “Spem in alium” is “performed by” forty speakers arranged throughout a small gallery. If you (like me) have always wanted to read through this fantastic piece but have had trouble assembling eight five-voice choirs, Cardiff’s work might provide an analogous (if inferior) experience.
