Rehersal files for "Spem in alium nuncuam habui" by Thomas Tallis

Thomas Tallis "Spem in alium" is composed for 40 voices grouped as 8 quintets (ensembles with S,M,A,T,B).

For efficient rehersal, certain files are required:
  • A partiture with all 40 voices (PDF-file) having 40 text-labelled staples.
  • Each ensemble has their own scores (PDF-files) as 5 text-labelled staples and with the remaining 7 ensembles as 7 staples without text.
  • Two versions of each NWC- and MIDI-files. The NWC ARR and MIDI ARR files are Örjan Larssons arrangement for 35 voices.
  • Each ensemble has their own MIDI-file with the individual 5 voices on 5 separate channels (1-5 for S,M,A,T,B, respectively) and the other 7 ensembles on 7 separate channels (7-9, 11-14).
  • The MIDI sound for the own quintet is "Grand Piano", but for the remaining quintets "Contrabass".
  • The Midi-files are arranged for rehersal with vanBasco's Karaoke Player.
  • For navigation in the MIDI-files, channel 6 ("Wood Blocks") have a text showing bar-number - which could be displayed with vanBascoKaraokePlayer.
  • MIDI channel 15 is a "Reed Organ" for rehersal purpose.
  • To fit current choir configuration, the original voices SATBarB has been changed to SMezzoATB.
  • Due to the current choir limit of 35 voices, additional files for the combined ensemble 1+ 5 are added (PDF-scores still lacks).
Example of rehersal file settings with vanBasco's Karaoke Player when Mezzo in Ensemble 3 is training her voice using:
  • Increased "Grand Piano" Sound Volume of her voice ( Midi Channel 2)
  • The Pitch lowered a halftone (to match the renaissance pitch of a=415Hz rather than a=440Hz)
  • Play-speed: 79 % of nominal speed during the initial rehersal.
  • Start rehersal at about Bar Number 42 ( by dragging the Time Line Navigator in Pause Mode).
  • For demonstration the sound of ensemble 6 is swithed off.
    In reality, the Mezzo should switch off HER sound (midi channel 2) during late rehersal.
Unfortunally, there is a "bug" in van Basco's Karaoke Player:
The "Channel Contents List" show the order in which the separate channels has been entered, and NOT the order at which they appears on the "Output" display.
Thus, despite ensemble 3 is played on midi-channel 1-5, the program displays S1, M1, A1, T1, B1, and NOT S3, M3, A3, T3, B3.
Normally, I enter the voices in a proper order, but to re-arrange the 40 voices requires 320 re-arrangment steps (8 ensembles*40 tracks) - which is a considerable job!
