Wow! As others mentioned Natalie’s vocal has so much feeling. It is like she is paying close attention to the actual words she is singing. Whatever magic you do with your synths is great.
Hi, J&B.
Thanks! I
do fiddle with the vocals quite a bit, but more in trying to get the vocalist to sound natural on the phrase. If it doesn't work, I'll just have them sing something else, or phrase it differently.
The harmonies are delightful also (and there is definitely not too much of them).
Thanks! Putting the harmonies together is my favorite part.

Everything arrangement wise is in the pocket. The melody as it fits the poem, the BiaB tracks and your processing and mix.
Good to hear, especially from you.
Janice said she wishes the monk who wrote the poem could hear this!

I suspect he'd like a plainchant version instead.

Apropos to nothing, I'd actually studied plainchant a bit. I remember someone asking if new plainchant was being written, and a priest responding there wasn't any need, since they already had music by the best composers ever.
That put an end to me studying it!
Thanks for stopping by for a listen.
