I heard a beautiful performance of Tallis' "Spem in Allium" the other day. In fact I'm listening to it, sung by The Clerkes of Oxenford, as I type. Wonderful stuff!
A bit off Thread I know but I'm just interested.

well, they're not quite ready for 40 part music! hahaha
the Tallis is amazing piece...
we do primarily 2 and 3 part(SAB) music arrangements; right now we're doing music from musicals, Les Miz, Newsies, Pippin, etc. last year we did folk songs, pop songs, Beatles, etc., but I try to find challenging pieces that they have to work to make sound. very little fluff! I have about 150 kids in three choruses, 5-8 grades.
haven't found any good Kansas arrangements yet, though
Dust in the Wind is available. guess I'll have to finally do those Genesis arrangements...
