Forty Part Motet (2001) by Janet Cardiff



"She took each voice from Thomas Tallis' Spem in Alium nunquam habui, and recorded it individually so that each voice could be given its own speaker within a space. Visitors to the installation could walk through the space and experience the music either as a whole or they could privilege an individual singer, depending on where they stood in the room and how they moved through it."
