zotzAccording to this and also to this, Tallis' landmark 40-part motet Spem in Alium is getting an outing on the Canongate in ten days. It's not often performed, and with beautiful timing I've arranged to be out of the country.
This doesn't mean you can't go. In fact, I'll be quite disappointed if none of you do. If you don't know what the fuss is about, read this and listen to this.

In other news, the being-out-of-the-country involves flying from Schiphol to Minneapolis tomorrow.
Today, Katla is restive. Probably it'll come to nothing. Probably nothing. Probably.
