Testing the Mercury Symphonic Boychoir from Soundiron with this lovely piece by Gregorio Allegri. Mercury Boys sing the two soprano parts and the alto. They also sing the tenor part with help on a low E from the tenors of the Kontakt Factory Library choir by Native Instruments, which I also used for the tenor and bass parts. This piece is performed 100% a cappella. The boys choir has a wonderful English boys choir sound (à la King's College Choir) that is high enough quality to use for (relatively exposed) classical music, not just for "epic" soundtracks with dozens of layers of strings, brass, percussion, church bells, and so on that would make just about any sample library sound good.
I'm so happy to finally be able to perform this piece. Thank you, Soundiron!
Lyrics:
1. Miserere mei, Deus.
Secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
[omitted chant]
2. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea.
Et a peccato meo munda me.
[omitted chant]
3. Tibi soli peccavi et malum coram te feci.
Ut iustificeris in sermonibus tuis et vincas cum iudicaris.
