What
Janet Cardiff’s sound installation, the 40 Part Motet is being presented at the Howard Assembly Room at Opera North, Leeds during February. The piece is a reworking of Thomas Tallis’ Spem in Alium, in which each of the forty voices is replaced by an individual speaker, meaning that you can move around choosing what and how you listen, focusing on individual voices, or standing back to feel the overall effect as the music builds from a lone solo voice to a huge wave of beautiful sound.
The piece is open from 4th Feb-3rd March from 2pm-8pm (Mon-Sat) and it’s free to visit.
