Hi, James.

Interesting choice for backing! And a nice melody.

I like the flute, too. smile

A few nits, most probably stemming from not knowing how to handle a melisma in SynthV.

Singing "hail" as "Hay-yul" is a bit... wrong. It's a single syllable, so the second note would be part of a melisma. To do that in SynthV, put the word hail in the first note, and then a dash - for the lyric on all following notes to indicate it's part of the prior syllable. This can be repeated for as many notes as you need. Use + to indicate where the next syllable of a word goes. That can also be extended with at -. Use a + for the next syllable, and so on.

The word "blessed" is being pronounced as B L EY - EH S T, when it should either be B L EH S T (one syllable) or B L EH S - IH D (two syllables). Both pronunciations are acceptable. I suspect that the issue here is again how you're doing two-note words, since it pronounced the one note version correctly.

The just as "Lord" is a title, so too is "Christ". It means "anointed one". So you'll see "Jesus Christ" or "Jesus, the Christ", and even "Christ Jesus" in the New Testament. But you won't find "Lord Christ", because it's akin to saying "King Anointed One" - you've only used the titles, but left out the name. wink

"Now and at the hour" sounds a bit weird, because SynthV chooses AH N D by default, when it would be more typically EH N D or AE N D... at least, to my American ears. Feel free to disagree.

"Pray for us, sinners". I'll note the comma is artistic license on your part, as are a couple of the other lines. wink

Anyway, nice work.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
