Web-Frickin'-Log - Miserere Mei, Deus - 21st Century style

[RSS Bot]

I took a music history class in college, and we had these listening tests where our professor would play 10-20 seconds of some song (usually opera, it was all 17th-18th century music), and we had to write down the composer, the genre, the title (usually Latin or Italian), the year it was composed, and some other stuff I can't remember. Anyway, one of the pieces was Gregorio Allegri's Miserere Mei, Deus, and I fell in love with it. It's purely choral, with a little chant.

 

Anyway, since I now suddenly have a lot of time on my hands, I decided to spend a day or two to arrange this classic piece of Christian choral music for rock stars. Kind of. Mainly I just added counterpoint and drums. Take a listen:

 

My version

Original (from my class)

It's even on YouTube (with score)

 

My version was created via MIDI, so the voices might sound slightly corny.
