Let's return to that chapel on the north end of Manhattan and the music of Thomas Tallis.
As I said, I walked around the room, listening to the individual voices that made up the swelling beauty that is Spem in Alium.
I stopped at one speaker in particular and hearing the voice here I imagine a rather timid 11-year old who was part of this larger production. He comes in to the music right around 23 seconds which should give you a sense of the music in the room and then you hear him almost tiptoe into the song.
Every voice makes a difference in this piece and I want you to know the power of your own voice, that becomes more beautiful when you let it rise in harmony with others'....
