Alessandro Striggio: 153?-1592 in Mantua, Italy composed *Ecce beatam lucem* for 40-part choir - Apparently Master Tallis was very inspired upon hearing this piece that he set out to compose his 40-part motet *Spem In Alium*.
Striggio also composed *Ecco si beato giorno* which has a 60-part movement where 5 groups of twelve singers come in one after the other to bring the *Agnus Dei* to a climax. 'Tis so fascinating with music for such huge forces where each voice has its own separate part.
Anyway, here's his *Ecce beatam lucem*:

Ps: Hearing such music as this has me savoring the thought of trying my hand at composing a *Tone Poem* for choir a capella with maybe a 60-part choir - Hmmmmmmm.............
Ps: Here's an interview with Davitt Moroney discussing *Ecco si beata giorno*:
