Tallis (arr. Johnston) - Spem in alium nunquam habui for Clarinet Choir

Thomas Tallis - Spem in alium nunquam habui for Clarinet Choir, arranged by Matt Johnston. Thomas Tallis composed "Spem in alium nunquam habui " around the year 1570 based on the Latin text from a response (at Matins for the 3rd lesson, during the 5th week of September) in the Sarum Rite, adapted from the Book of Judith. The first line translates as "I have never put my hope in any other but in Thee, God of Israel." Originally scored for eight 5-part choirs, has been arranged here for clarinet choir by Matt Johnston. The 40 core parts for soprano and bass clarinets are provided in the set. Additional parts for E-flat Clarinet, Alto Clarinet, Basset Horn, Contralto Clarinet and String Bass are available upon request.
