Janet Cardiff: Forty-Part Motet
June 14 - August 26, 2012
National Galley of Canada
380 Sussex Drive  

Winner of the Millennium Prize 2001, the publicly and critically acclaimed Forty-Part Motet is now back on display at the National Gallery of Canada. This brilliant sound sculpture by Canadian artist Janet Cardiff is a reworking of Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis, a 16th-century English composer. Forty separately-recorded choir voices are played back through 40 speakers positioned around the NGC’s Rideau Chapel.
