Life Less Literary: Spem in alium But the undisputed crowd-puller of the show is Cardiff's Forty Part Motet, the forty-part choral harmony of Spem in Alium nunquam habui, written by Thomas Tallis, played back over forty individual speakers, each one recording an individual singer or group of singers' voice. I had an opportunity several weeks ago to hear Janet Cardiff's Forty Part Motet at the Edmonton Art Gallery.

eye - Janet Cardiff - 06.17.04 To describe Janet Cardiff's crowd-pleasing, Millennium Prize-winning "Forty-Part Motet" as a religious experience is redundant: the sound sculpture consists of 40 speakers, each playing 40 separately recorded voices singing Thomas Tallis' "Spem in Alium," a complex 16th-century polyphonic choral piece written, of course, in praise of The Almighty Himself. Janet Cardiff's "Forty-Part Motet" opens June 18, 7-11pm and runs to Sept 6. But Cardiff enlarges the adulatory qualities of Tallis' work, giving special credence to his and the Salisbury Cathedral Choir's beautiful creation by having gallery-goers navigate around the speakers so that the harmonies modulate and rebound in intimate, varied and deliciously sinuous ways. www.eye.net /eye/issue/issue_06.17.04/arts/eyecandy.html   (322 words)

A World of Sound - Aruna D'Souza Cardiff's work forces you into imagined relations with spectral presences that surround you, relations that can be profoundly comforting, as in Forty-Part Motet, or threatening, as in The Paradise Institute, while simultaneously pointing out your powerlessness in the face of the spectacle taking place. Walking into the gallery at P.S. 1 where Janet Cardiff s Forty-Part Motet was installed, you found little to see. Much of Cardiff's work and her collaborations with Bures Miller rely on active participation (to go on the walk, to explore the room, to run hands over the table) or at least a refusal of the spectator's usual passivity (as in the film works). www.elon.edu /arcturus/currentissue/technoarts/worldofsound.htm   (322 words)

Encyclopedia: National Gallery of Canada The largest work in the Gallery is the entire interior of the Rideau Street Chapel, the ornate chapel of a demolished girls' school, which also features Cardiff's Forty-Part Motet. The Gallery's former director Jean Sutherland Boggs was chosen especially by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to oversee construction of the national gallery and museums. The Gallery was first formed in 1880 by Canada's Governor General John Douglas Sutherland Campbell, 9th Duke of Argyll, and, in 1882, moved into its first home on Parliament Hill in the same building as the Supreme Court. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/National-Gallery-of-Canada   (1545 words)

HOASM: The Ars Nova in Italy Although he often retains an isorhythmic framework, Ciconia was sufficiently influenced by Italian usage to write two motets with identical texts in both upper parts, which are unified by thematic relationships, while the tenor is free. Niccolo, with twenty-one ballate out of forty-one compositions, seems to have spent some time in Florence, perhaps 1360-65, since several of his compositions have texts by Franco Sacchetti, but he also wrote a piece in honour of the Visconti of Milan. Antonio da Civitate was one of the few composers of the late trecento who wrote in isorhythmic motet style, for instance in a piece in honour of Giorgio Ordelaffi, lord of Forli, and his wife. www.hoasm.org /IIIA/ArsNovaItaly.html   (1754 words)

Tippett at Morley College: Tallis's Spem in alium - nmcrec.co.uk Earlier, in his capacity as manager of artists and repertoire for HMV, Legge invited Tippett and the Morley College Choir to make the first ever recording of the forty-part motet by Thomas Tallis, Spem in alium. Tippett and the Choir gave one further performance of Spem in alium, in the newly opened Royal Festival Hall, close to Morley College on the South Bank, as part of the 1951 Festival of Britain. In any case, as Tippett recounted in Those Twentieth Century Blues, “realising that this would mean I had to train them in all the standard choral repertory, irrespective of whether such music was of interest to me as a composer, I turned down his offer and returned to my poverty”. www.nmcrec.co.uk /?page=tippett/tallis/tallis.html   (1122 words)

Spem in Alium: BeatnikPad Journal The centrepiece of the exhibition was the Forty-Part Motet, which is based around a choral piece by composer Thomas Tallis entitled Spem in Alium. Spem in Alium starts off as a simple, quiet piece, but slowly becomes more and more multi-layered as more voices join in counterpart, repeating the same prayer, until the piece nearly overwhelms you in wave after wave of sound. The beauty of the piece is that Cardiff has separated each singer into their own speaker, so you can walk around the room and focus in on one single voice, step back and listen to a small section of singers, or sit in the middle of the room and take in everything at once. www.beatnikpad.com /archives/2003/08/16/spem_in_alium   (769 words)
