Answer 65

Stuff for each piece on how to sonically identify it as well as what to say about the context around it

Answer 66

- Puer natus est - Echoey - Nuns in an echoey chamber - only female voices - extremely resonant sound - all in unison - in latin - a latin phrase of words repeated - the sound of the 1st class

Answer 67

- kyrie piece - gregorian chant style - different harmonic lines are added to the piece as time goes along - melody line (1st voice) is the same pattern every time per what is required for that section - 1st voice establishes, bass provides low harmony, countertenor + higher tenor comes in – sounds like the Talos principle

Answer 68

- A lower tenor/baritone range - Kyrie text - Multiple voices from the outset, no solo - Echoey like you can hear that you are in a chamber - More wordy text than the 1st kyrie - Very wordy - Practically every beat has a new word sung - Same temperment throughout, same vocal tone throughout - All in unison, no harmonic parts - No time to breathe and wait

Answer 69

- Soprano voices - Kyrie txt - Harmonic parts from the outset - Sounds like a choir of sopranos/altos as angels - Slower pace over all, time to breathe and think and sit in it - High soprano + alto - A lot of waiting through elongated phrases till you get to the end of the required phrase - Not overpoweringly echoey - Soprano appears and provides texture and a moving up and down line - High soprano has shorter duration notes than lower parts - A lot of boring waiting for the angellic sounds -

Answer 71

- 3 male singers - Tenor, baritone, and bass trio - Not an echoey sound - In French! - Bottom 2 voices are just making sound, the top tenor is the one actually singing words – explaining away his situation - Like a soloing line in an opera, with 2 male voices under providing basic harmony - Like watching your kid’s talent show solo -

Answer 72

- Kyrie text - Male voices - Harmony the whole time - Deep bass - All parts move up and down - Like a procession - Eh the whole time - Gregorian feel

Answer 73

- Male voice + female voice - Stringed instruments - Harp plucking + violín parts - Working together in counterpoint - Se starts some phrases - 2 voices, one male and one female, + string trio - Parts where strings take over after phrases finish - About half and half with soloists vs. without - Light

- Absalon - Male and female voices - Latin - Working together - Slower seciton in the middle - Filli mi - Equal sound volume between male and female voices - Lower basses exist OR - 4 male voices - Super low bass, lower than anything - Very short comparatively - Latin - Extremely low bass

Answer 79

- Mille - In french - Male voices and one female voice - Shaaaa - Very beautiful - Je see grande - Softer and louder sections - Very emotive - Slow af overall - A lot of swells! - Points where they are out of sync, parts where they are perfectly in sync - Tempo changes at different times for emotive effect - Relatively short

Answer 81

- English - All people on earth do well - Sing to the lord - Tells a story - Tenor, bass, and a soprano - Counterpoint working together, in the same exact time - A harmonic melody line, no added texture - Nice to listen to - Like a psalm in english - The lord is good Second setting: - In english - Includes instruments! - One single countertenor - One melody line, assisted by harmony from stringed instruments
