Spem in Alium is a legendary piece of unaccompanied vocal music from the 1560s or the 1570s for 40 voices that are in essence solo voices.
Some years back a choir recorded each part individually and all the parts were played back each with its own monophonic loudspeaker positioned throughout a large art gallery or museum, and not in choir rows as in a cathedral or in ranks as in a modern concert.
IIRC the loudspeakers were smalll standmount B&Ws. I might be off on that.
IIRC the first installation was in London but some time later is was at The Cloisters in NYC for a while.
FWIW.
