Tallis' Audivi Vocem de Caelo

I recorded this in my bedroom three years ago when I was 17. I used audition 1.5 and recorded myself singing all four parts of this wonderful piece. For some reason I didn't include the plainsong and it is probably a little faster than it would be if performed by a choir. I am well aware that the alto line is far more pronounced than the others and that there is too much reverb.

Please do more of these... You're very fortunate to have such a great alto - even on the highest notes, it's extremely full.

Your tenor is great too...man do I wish I had that voice! Are you studying music?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I've not checked my account for ages and I don't recall getting the usual email when someone comments.

I'm not studying music but I am alto lay clerk at chester cathedral which has me singing 5 days a week. This is 4 years old now and my lower fasletto and tenor have developed a lot since then, however I'm still really pleased with this. Thanks for the comment! :D

Very good performance. Pity the sound quality isn't better!

Thank you. When I get the chance I'll certainly do this again, my current laptop soundcard is terrible. My previous laptop (which I put this recording together on) had a better sound card but I used a really poor quality microphone, it was all I had available. Also, I don't know why this recording has been clipped to 2 minutes, there's only another 10 seconds left, very irritating.

THis is really cool, that it is you on all four parts. Nice job.

Thanks :D For some reason youtube seems to have clipped the track to 2 minutes cutting off the end. I would like to redo this, and the others I did like it, but the sound card on my laptop is rubbish.

Some beautiful tones there!
