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 .
As no records about the birth, family or childhood of Thomas Tallis exist, almost nothing is known about his early life or origins. Historians have calculated that he was born in the early part of the 16th century, towards the end of the reign of Henry VII of England, and estimates for the year of his birth range from 1500 to 1520.

I looked at the reference for the quote from Davies, but it appears that he is referring to a CD, rather than Tallis's Spem in alium. The quote should either be removed, or an unambiguous reference should be added into the article. Toccata quarta 13:39, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
