What style of music would you say this is?

Sounded .... interesting!!

I believe the style is Barber style quartet.

Renaissance polyphony, to be more precise this is written like the choral music from the middle of the sixteenth century.

Renaissance choral polyphony from the middle of the sixteenth century (different periods of the renaissance had different styles)

HAHA people forget that I'm in school for voice, and I'm actually more used to singing this kind of stuff than the rock X3

Probably they didn't seen your yourube movies :)

That was... interesting...

I can't comment much on this... kinda left me a little dazed @_@

HAHA heard much early music? this is like pre-classical in style

Dazed in a slightly good way I hope :3
It's just written in a slightly outdated style, by about five hundred years, I'll only get worse, soon I'm going to put something that's about eight-hundred years out of date :P

That's more or less it. It caught me off guard. It's nothing I've listened to before so It's out of the blue in a way.

You have a beautiful voice- this is astounding <3333333 ^^

thank you so much! nice poem/lyrics!

That's pretty awesome dude

you don't hear a lot of this... and that's why it's awesome. i always wanted to do something like this, honestly.

very interesting tonal shift at the end... why end on a IV without finishing the Amen, on such a lyric as "eternally burn?"

random thinks this stuff through alot. I'm sure he has meaning for it

Me, think? Pffft, what planet have you been living on, I even made a very silly mistake on the score in the soprano part "of for fire" or something of the sort, a typo of course, it should just have been "of fire" with fire also on the note that erroneously had a "for". COMPUTERS! D:

There's two reasons why I didn't quite finish tonally, the main on being that lust is a sin and having an amen cadence in the end would just be so wrong (I'm serious here, even though I didn't quite write it so)! The second would be that the last chord there isn't really supposed to lead to a cadence, in this style of writing the chords aren't very important, it's more of the proper resolution of tensions and dissonance, and proper resolution lead to that (went from minor to major as well) back in those days it was usually ended without the resolution, so if you imagine the piece ending on the chord just before the end, that would have been more period accurate, but even harsher to modern ears.

i wasn't sure if there was some irony going on with the "eternally burn" part going to what almost sounded like the Amen, which is why i asked. thanks much for the genre reminder.

Pepper...This is REALLY really pretty. really really pretty. Thank you random and mish for this...makes me so happy.

^^ tahnk you! glad you like it!

I think you, sir. Are secretly a genius.

not me !!!  randomonlooker

he's the genius! I"m merely a peon!

The overlayed vocals remind me of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Great take on the lovely poem, Pepper!

Oh yeah! Pepper sang beautifully, he's practically a virtuoso (can you be a virtuosos singer? I'd like to think so), interpreted it wonderfully too!
But I must tell you that I was the guy who wrote the music, so he "just" sang the notes I told him to sing, though you can never "just" do anything, he did it extremely well and it wouldn't have been the same with anyone else! =D

Ah, so you wrote the music? Very impressive work! ^^ Listening to it brings me back to the old days when I listened to melodious chanting at church. =3

Goosebumps... that is all.

I can't beleive that people still write polyphony like this.

Indeed it's sad that such a talented person As Onlooker passed on

I'm still here pepper! Ive been busy what have you been doing?

ooh you went back really far for this one.

I've been fine! Getting stuff for the band to do while still plowing my way through school.
It's crazy busy but I love it ^^

This means so much to me now that Random has passed on.

Thank you so much again for doing this so beautifully. I really do feel honoured to have this to remember him by.

I feel so blessed that I was able to work with him.
Even more glad that I have these recordings.
It makes me feel like I got to contribute in the short time he was with us.

I know what you mean. We chatted often and I was always delighted that we became friends, but I never felt I could contribute much to his work and he was never one to talk about himself much (I was always the one whining!)

At least with this, I feel I have some connection to him... He was a special person.
