Three ccMixter Tenors Sing Ave Maria
texasradiofish
For this arrangement, the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
After watching the last Joker movie and hearing the copious use of Ave Maria in the soundtrack, a remix of Ave Maria seemed a fun project.
Decided a takeoff on a three tenor performance would be different from current ccMixter Ave Maria remixes and we conveniently have three solos voices: Admiral Bob (pitched a whole tone down, panned right), Dr. Emiliyan Stankov and David Robinson (pitched a whole tone up, panned left).
For coherency among the voices, minor pitch correction was applied using Anteres Auto-Tune EFX+ with no effects enabled. Minor sample stretching applied as needed.
Vocal phrases were not well aligned or adjusted so there is a “no rehearsal, let’s go for it” feel to the mix.
“The Latin version of the ‘Ave Maria’ is now so frequently used with Schubert’s melody that it has led to the misconception that he originally wrote the melody as a setting for the ‘Ave Maria’ prayer.” - Wikipedia
The part of the Latin prayer used here:
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Maria, gratia plena,
Ave, Ave, Dominus,
Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus,
Et benedictus fructus ventris (tui),
Ventris tui, Jesus.
Ave Maria!
