Very nice, Mike. Are the Biro parts the ones that seem to have
instantaneous attack? What Biro sounds did you use?
The Biro sounds come in about 1:39 as choir #5 and has seven parts, thefirst of which sounds like this:
http://www.mikedickson.org.uk/private/Spem%20In%20Alium%20%28Birotron%20Section%29.mp3
Which is Birotron with (tuned down) lead soprano. The Biro parts areall digitised samples as I don't have a Birotron to hand (or maybe Ileft it someplace...checking pockets....nnnnnnnnnnoo.....can't seem tofind it on me...) They sound great, though.
Part of the reason why Spem In Alium is not performed more is becauseyou need to round up eight sopranos who are not only competent singersbut who can lead the piece. That itself is a major undertaking.
