Without revealing too much, I'm thinking in of breaking the band into 8
choirs with semi-antiphonal seating around the stage and front of the
hall as well as a good deal of pitched percussion (including handbells)
to vary the sound of each choir. Like I said, I'm planning but have no
group to perform it so its kind of a back burner thing that someday will
get done. I hope.

Presumably the famous (and very good) "Spem in alium nunquam habui" of
Thomas Tallis. I'm not sure how you could transcribe it for band
without losing the stereo effects that make a big part of its effect.
