Without revealing too much, I'm thinking in of breaking the band into 8 choirs with semi-antiphonal seating around the stage and front of the hall as well as a good deal of pitched percussion (including handbells) to vary the sound of each choir. Like I said, I'm planning but have no group to

I'm guessing, Spem in alium nunquam habui, by Thomas Tallis, written for eight 5-part antiphonal choirs? I played a brass version of this when I was in university. Christopher On Aug 4, 2008, at 2:21 PM, Dean M. Estabrook wrote: FORTY part choral piece ...? My curiosity is piqued ...

There's only one that I know of, but I'm blanking on the composer. (Tallis? English, at least, and composed for eight 5-part choirs to be performed in a specific octagonal building. Acoustic surround sound!) I've never studied it, since I've never had the forces to attempt doing it! I do
