21 A fictionalised #Tallis was portrayed by #JoeVanMoyland in 2007 on the #BBC television series, The Tudors #spem40 https://t.co/jmHpBjuqRN Hear Tallis’s Wonderful 40 part motet (Yes 40!) Spem on Alium in Hove July 20 https://t.co/TWtDaQSQnN
20 The text of #SpeminAlium is from the Book of Judith. #Tallis may have chosen this to flatter #Elizabeth I, comparing her to the heroic Judith: #Caravaggio #JudithBeheadingHolofernes (c.1598-9)) #spem40 #BookOfJudith Brighton https://t.co/jmHpBjuqRN https://t.co/TWtDaQSQnN
19 #Tallis is noted for switching his style to suit the demands of different monarchs. Elizabeth I loved the ceremony of the Catholic church whilst retaining a firm Protestantism. In #SpeminAlium he is at his most creative #spem40 https://t.co/jmHpBjuqRN https://t.co/TWtDaQSQnN
9. The depth and maturity of the work perhaps owes something to the fact that it was written towards the end of #Tallis’s life – he was around 65 when he wrote #SpeminAlium #spem40 Brighton & Hove July 20th https://t.co/jmHpBjuqRN
5. #SpeminAlium is considered by some critics to be the greatest piece of English early music. Writing in 1929, H. B. Collins describes it as #Tallis’s “crowning achievement” #spem40 All Saints Church Hove 20th July : https://t.co/eSjiuEM55z
1. It was originally composed at the request of the Duke of Norfolk as an answer to the Italian composer Striggio’s 40-part Ecce beatam lucem (1567) #spem40

It’s 40 days until we perform #SpeminAlium as part of our Music for Mindfulness: Tallis to Tavener concert in All Saints, Hove. Between now and then, we’ll be giving one reason each day as to why we love the piece so much! #spem40 #Brighton Tickets: https://t.co/fFDvVAF6j4
