"Spem in Alium" is the most beautiful piece of music in existence for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT-ZAAi4UQQ At 40 distinct melodies, it is certainly the 'grandest' piece in early English church music. | ||

As I recently commented on Bluesky, I want to write a contemporary choral setting of Spem in Alium (hope in another) but write the title Spem in Allium (hope in garlic) and see if it can make it to publication before anyone notices). | ||

Yes! I had a chance to sing in this once. But it definitely suffers from every one of the reasons for obscurity listed in TFA, on steroids. | ||
