This version seems almost rushed, much faster than the other versions I've seen.

" Spem in alium (Latin for "Hope in any other") is a 40-part Renaissance motet by Thomas Tallis, composed in c. 1570 for eight choirs of five voices each. It is considered by some critics to be the greatest piece of English early music. H. B. Collins described it in 1929 as Tallis's "crowning achievement", along with his Lamentations. "

In my unfinished "epic" Bittersweet Seeds story (to be a screenplay / storyboard / animatic / feature), I have Miserere and Spem in alium in key scenes, potentially, for the soundtrack. Naturally all elements may change until it's final - as I have other alternatives in mind too, in case one "theme" works better in the end than another. To my point, for this potential particular "chorale theme" I'm still looking for more great epic choral pieces and soundscapes of a variety of moods, not just this churchy/funeral kind of stuff. I'm generally not into opera or choral music (among a few other genres), yet I know of some excellent potential candidates that don't stereotypically bug me. Suggestions very welcomed.

Also, FYI, my story is not about religion at all, however people die, and there's the potential of a God-like A.I.
