| What happens in :56? Sounds like some want it double sharped and others don't. Anyway, I really like this version. |
| It's difficult to ... ( 5 months ago by Mimameior) |
| It's difficult to say, isn't it, as I believe most 'false relations' weren't actually notated, and could be sung or omitted at the singers' pleasure - am I right? In that case it would be hard to know whether mediaeval choirs used them without recordings of said choirs - a sad impossibility. I'd be interested to know if you've found anything more definite in your research... |

| I had to sing this in 8th grade and yeah i think its pretty sad too. I would hate to see a mother have to watch her son die and the thing is its about a king who wanted to kill all the baby boys in the village or the town i don't remember... very sad and upsetting. |

| That double sharp at 0:59 is fantastic, someone said that this happened a lot? Any other examples? |
| what double sharp ... ( 1 week ago by margotlorena) |
| what double sharp at 0.59? I don't see any. the thing that I don't see a lot is the minor second at 1.27 the word "young" |
| The false relation ... ( 1 week ago by JFman00) |
| The false relation business? Measure 24, on the second by. I don't have an instrument with me so I can't say where I'm hearing the minor second but I'm sure it's there. Happens again measure 38, on young, and m. 52 on the second by. Just noticed that they didn't do it at the end, but I think it brings out the Picardy third that the piece closes on. |
| It's used by the ... ( 1 week ago by Mikey84) |
| It's used by the King's Singers too... Surely this is a beautiful piece. Really haunting... And about that false relation part: are you sure it was not in Thomas Sharp's reproduction of the original manuscript? |
| I agree with ... ( 1 week ago by coloredwords) |
| I agree with everyone who's said the semitones between the soprano and alto is outstanding. And the Herod verse is absolutely chilling. I'm also very intrigued by the use of the natural 7th, rather than the leading tone, at the end of the phrases right before "by by lully lullay". I've never heard that before (most versions use the leading tone F-double sharp instead of the natural minor F#), and it really added something, as well as being melodically (and harmonically) surprising. |
