~✿ Lilium - fan-arranged ✿~

~◕ I arranged and sang "Lilium" which is the opening song for the anime, Elfen Lied. Amazing AMV maker, tif9123 made the hauntingly beautiful video for this! ◕~

The song is in ecclesiastical Latin, or "church" Latin, so v's are not pronounced as w's and c's are not always pronounced like k's. See the original recording of the song if you don't believe me! ^_^
(thankyou MagonBarca and Morhigan for the helpful info!!! ^0^)

~ฺ As always all vocals and acoustic instruments were performed by me in my closet-studio ฺ~

~♥ LATIN LYRICS:
══════════════════════════════
Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam,
Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.

Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,
Quonium cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.

Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison

O quam sancta, quam serena,
quam benigna, quam amoena
O castitatis lilium

Hey Kate, I'm just curious of what kind of music arranger you use. Could you tell me what program you use?

[katethegreat19]

@Comicgirl111 Hmm I'm not sure there even is a program like that O.o; I arrange things the normal way (by trial and error) and use real acoustic instruments. Usually takes me a month or so ^w^; For my recording program, I use Sony Vegas, it allows me to record my harp and vocal tracks separately and put them all together.

[Comicgirl111]

@katethegreat19 Hmm. I See. Since I sing and play musical instruments myself, I was just wondering how you arranged everything so nicely. When I try it,it's either off tempo or the vocals get mixed up. ºωº; So... yeah... Also I'm not sure if I should upload my song covers to youtube. 0//_//0 I'm too nervous. A lot of my friends say I should, but...I don't know.

(Sorry, I'm a big musical geek and have the worlds smallest ego.) ;v;

[katethegreat19]

@Comicgirl111 I have around 8 years of arranging and composing experience, which helps ^w^; I usually sing with my harp, guitar, or piano, so I will come up with a main accompaniment on one of those three that will play all the way through. I then record that. Then while listening to that, I come up with the other parts for other instruments. The parts won't go off tempo if you are able to record them while listening on headphones to the other parts. ^_~

Miss Kate, this absolutely gave me goosebumps. This gave me more of an impression of innocence, somehow, rather than the sad and dramatic sound of the original...I don't know...maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about.

But this is brilliant and hauntingly beautiful. I swear you have an angel's voice. :)
