[link to www.classicsonline.com] I have my master's in music, so I can help narrow this down for you. This is 16th century Baroque choral music. I think the term 'choral' is what I was looking for. Started searching by that and getting some hits. I would say the type of music I'm describing (or trying to) is something along this style sound: [link to www.youtube.com] [link to www.youtube.com] This helps me. Thank you. :greenkarma: Any other terms that I should know about that might be related to this style/genre? |

User ID: 27358318 United States 02/19/2013 07:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It seems like you are liking the late Baroque-early classical sacred choral genre. I would recommend J.S. Bach St Matthew's Passion, [link to www.classicsonline.com] Mozart's Requiem, [link to www.classicsonline.com] Handel's Messiah, [link to www.classicsonline.com] And a small side note; the angelic "female" voices were originally sung by prepubescant boys. Women were not allowed to sing in choirs or operas, so they would use boys who's voices hadn't changed yet and in the case of operas, they would dress them as women. There was also another group of singers called "Castrati" who were men that were castrated before puberty so as to preserve their soprano voices throughout life. Talk about dedication to their art!
