Are you a singer looking for a fabulous experience?
We offer the opportunity for up to 320 singers to spend a day in Gloucester Cathedral learning and performing this beautiful, complex and seldom-performed work. A forty-part motet, originally composed in 1570 for 8 choirs of 5 voices each, Spem in Alium requires discipline from the singers and extraordinary control from the conductor.
[pullquote style=”right”]I think the most important aspect of this venture was inclusivity: to get together so many singers in this region…”[/pullquote]
How it will work
Singers will rehearse in 8 smaller choirs and perform together twice. Each choir will be made up of 10 soprano, 8 alto 1, 8 alto 2, 6 tenor and 8 bass voices.
It’s going to be fun and a real work out for brains and vocal cords.
For all questions, please contact Peter Holmes by email.
