I’d love to hear from anyone in the BBC who can help me to access a couple of shows from the archives.

Earlier this year I promised myself I would take a tour – a pilgrimage if you like – of the key places in the life of Thomas Tallis, centered around a study of his fourty part motet Spem in Alium.

I am now trying to get my act together to do this, and would like to access / get a copy of two programmes – one is a specific episode of Radio 4′s Soul Music, and the other is a BBC four programme of a 1000 strong performance of Spem recorded in Manchester in 2006.

If anyone can tell me how I might lay my hands/eyes/ears on these programmes, I’ll be forever in your debt – please leave a blog comment, or perhaps drop me an email?
