'Os justi', by Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)

The Quire of Cheahs © 2009

Given my freaky vocal range of a little over three and half octaves, I have been fooling around with the idea of recording all voice parts of a choral piece and be my very own personal choir. Thus, the Quire of Cheahs was born.

Here, then, are my first few forays into this little personal conceit.

Please note that these 'performances' are by no means professionally recorded nor meant for commercial release. The recordings can get pretty time consuming depending on the length of the piece, for obvious reasons (since I have to record every single voice part), so no editing is involved.

Hope you have fun with these!

Not gonna lie...can't hear the tenor part too much...Lol! But wow...this is good.

@blondeboy666 Thanks! The tenor range is, admittedly, my weakest since it's a limbo mixture of the baritone and countertenor timbres. BUT it's definitely there ...

I did this kind of thing with GarageBand more than 7 years ago so as to teach a church choir their individual parts when section leaders were unable to sight read the parts. I burned individual section track followed by joint choral practice session for each singer on CD for specific distribution. It helped, but the tonal quality for each part was artificial and I noticed that the REAL singers seemed to imitate the artificial rendition instead of finding their own voice.

The tuning is somehaht suspect in places, but having said that, it's a wonderful piece and I'm impressed you can sing all the parts yourself. What's your actual range - must be three octaves at least. I've sung this with our choir and we all loved it.

sind das alles ausgewachene männer? das klingt total danach, selbst der sopran!

@Azndude1234 It's actually in F Lydian (which is even worse.) F lydian has a raised fourth (hence the absence of B flat in the signature.)

ARG THE KEY OF C MAJOR IS THE WORST KEY EVER FOR VOCOALIST!

But when sung in tune, it is beautiful :)
