Well - their translation is a bit wide of the mark. Spem in alium nunquam
habui praeter in te, Deus Israel" means " My hope is in none other than
thee, O God of Israel" not "Hope in any other".
The mass has been performed before but not recorded I think. The main
attrction is that it is in 40 parts. I rather doubt whether there were
lots of lutes taking part in the 16th century. Wishful thinking. No cloud
machines either. Where do they get these ideas from?

Subject: [LUTE] Striggio 40 part mass from 1599
Perhaps it's been discussed here - the Striggio 40 part mass - though I
haven't seen it. For a look at how it was recently uncovered and
recorded, see: http://tinyurl.com/4d9rthp
There are also some youTube videos of it being performed/recorded showing
many lutenists among the band.
