I saw this piece a few years ago when it was installed at the Millenium galleries in Sheffield. A choir sings 'Spem in Alium nunquam habui' by sixteenth century composer Thomas Tallis represented by forty speakers placed around the gallery in eight banks of five with each representing a single voice.

As a member of the audience you interact with the piece by sitting in the middle, listening to the voices sweep around you or you can choose to wander around the speakers to pick out the individual voices.

I found it to be a very moving piece, partly due to the power of the music but also down to the unique way you can control how you listen to it. With each person creating their own personal mix of it each time.

One of my favourite pieces of sound installation.
