Does someone want to take me on a trip to Rome? I've always dreamed of experiencing this building in person.
And this song (Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis) would be perfect to hear in this space. This has got to be one of my ultimate favourites and has been since I discovered it years ago. I was in Ottawa about a year ago and they had this as an installation piece in the Chapel in the National Gallery of Canada. Each of the 40 voices was piped through an individual speaker, so you could walk around the room and hear each voice individually: GORGEOUS!
I couldn't find the version by the Oxford Camerata that I like--this version is a bit fast for my taste. It's just over 2 minutes faster than my recording.
