I have the feeling that I hear two/three voices at 2:47. Is that true, or are these harmonics and resonance only?

[gudpeder]

@HerrMagog There are three bassi profondi, but they all sing the same note (Bb1, 53 Hz). However, when singing such a low note, the first overtones are also within quite a low range (the three first are 116.5 Hz, 233.1 Hz and 466.2 Hz respectively), so it may seem like you are hearing additional voices ;)

[DonSchanteloni]

I think i hear a Eb 1 at 1:16...

[gudpeder]

@DonSchanteloni I can see what you mean, but I am a certain that it just sounds like that because of interference between the voices of the choir. You can clearly hear Wichniakov singing Eb2, and the two other basso profondos probably aren't able to go that low, since they don't descend to the G1 at the end.

@gudpeder @DonSchanteloni Plus, there would be no musical purpose to sing the Eb1 if you cannot go down do D1 or C1. It's just harmonic resonance created by the tight harmony.

[gudpeder]

@BirdieJMR A correct analysis! Lower notes than actually sung by anyone in the choir can arise from the phenomenon called acoustic beats - slight differences in frequencies (both the fundamentals and the overtones of the individual voices) between voices creat pulsations with frequencies of their own, which can be audible if the difference is more than 20 Hz.

beautiful Bb1 at 2:46 gave me goosebumps

@gudpeder hahaha I thought it was one man and I was like "I QUIT SINGING."

@Kress512 Funny you should mention that, I haven't gotten that thought myself but I've wondered what note that horn hits!

[HerrMagog]

@gudpeder Anyway, it's really very impressive - and gorgeous. Thanks for you for the remastering, and thanks to the choir for this moment of solemnity and calm!

Exciting Music! Thank You for sharing!

I dont know guys, but when he hit the low note at 2:26 my first thought was it sounded a lot like when in the second Lord of The Rings movie the horn of helm's deep was blown.
