Spem in Alium | Hope in God Alone
A Choral Adoration
As part of the Eucharistic Revival, Christ Cathedral welcomes you to a solemn, musical evening of Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. In addition to singing O salutaris hostia and Tantum ergo, the prescribed hymns for Exposition and Benediction, spend a holy hour in quiet adoration and reflection while listening to some of the most beautiful sacred choral and organ music including Gregorio Allegri's famous Miserere (featuring Alyce Reynaud, Soprano soloist), Jessica French's recently composed Tantum Ergo, and a new arrangement of Ralph Vaughan Williams' Master Tallis's Testament that will feature both of the Hazel Wright Organ's five-manual consoles played simultaneously. The evening's musical meditations will culminate with Thomas Tallis's rarely-performed motet Spem in Alium (Hope in God Alone), written for 40-parts, sometimes referred to as the "Mount Everest" of choral music.
