The Mellotron Group

One of my favourite pieces is Spem In Alium by 15th century composer,  Thomas 
Tallis.  I have listened to it a million times and it still hijacks  me 
completely.  For those who don't know, this is a setting for 5 choirs of  8 voices 
singing latin religiousness.  The lyrics don't matter a jot to me,  the effect 
of these massed voices in groups of 8, repeating against  each other and the 
natural dissonance that occurs is spellbinding.  It is  an orchestra of voices 
and the words are a vehicle for them to ring out.  
 
Mike loves this choral work as well.  His point is that the m a j  o r i t y 
of rock singers and rock lyrics are detrimental to the music.  I  have to 
agree.  There are obviously exceptions.
