Jacques Arcadelt: O sacrum convivium (c.1538) with Synthesizer V

The antiphon "O sacrum convivium" in the Catholic liturgy is often dedicated to the Eucharist and to the Feast of Corpus Christi. This particular setting by the Flemish composer Jacques Arcadelt was written during his long tenure in Rome when he was a composer in residence and a member Sistine Chapel Choir. One can hear the elaborate polyphony that was standard fare prior to the rulings from the Council of Trent which discouraged complicated counterpoint, puzzle canons and inaudible text. Its steady sonority bears resemblance to later Roman works by the likes of Morales and Palestrina. The original MIDI file was created by Allan Garvin and uploaded to the website cpdl.org. I used the Solaria (boy soprano) and Kevin (male alto, tenor 1, tenor 2 and bass) voices banks with mostly Spanish phoneme settings in Synthesizer V. I also pitched the score up by a half step (A = approx. 466) to better fit the range of boy sopranos. Reverb, echo and de-essing were added with Audacity. Text (and translation): O sacrum convivium. (A sacred banquet) in quo Christus sumitur: (in which Christ is received) recolitur memoria passionis eius: (recalled is the memory of his Passion) mens impletur gratia: (The mind is filled with grace) et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur. (and the promise of future glory is given to us) Alleluia. Description of the photos: 1. Sistine Chapel interior 2. Concert of angels, detail from fresco, Gaudenzio Ferrari, c1535 3.
