Today's programme began with a choral CD of St Cecilia inspired choral music from the chapel choir of Royal Holloway. The extract played was MacMllan's Cecilia Virgo written for double choir, one in C and the other in D major. It is written in a sort of stile antico and I imagine its effect in a huge basilica with huge forces would be spectacular.
BTW, two keys is not a new idea. Elgar was more daring in There is Sweet Music where the keys are just a semitone apart (A flat and G), great fun to sing.
