Ok, I did the thing with Box.net, and it has given me a URL.
I took this audio during the rehearsal of a musical group that came to Santissima Trinita dei Pellegrini last year to accompany a Rosary evening. Readings, Rosary, music...you know the sort of thing.
Yes, that voice at the beginning is me. You can tell because I'm saying something stupid.
Let me know if you can open the link.
If this audio file experiment works, I'll get you some more.
Awesome; now that's a period acoustic! I've never seen a tromba marina in person myself. Any information about the piece? Besides 17th century Italian/Italianate I'm at a loss. I've only somewhat recently come to this kind of music via the French -- it's not a long trip from Charpentier to Carissimi and Luigi Rossi, etc. -- and I'm certainly no expert.

Upon further research I think it's Carissimi's "Exsurge cor meum." The only Carissimi track on this recording, sung by a tenor here -- http://www.amazon.com/Exsurge-Cor-Meum/dp/B001Q4MJBM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1258569812&sr=8-1-catcorr
ReplyDeleteI haven't found the text online. (Maybe it's Neolatin?) I suspect that to hear Carissimi in a baroque church is a treat most of us won't ever get, so thanks again for sharing this.
It worked... and it was beautiful! Please post more!

ReplyDeleteAlas, cannot listen to .WMA formatted files.
ReplyDeleteIt works on a Windows PC with Windows Media Player installed. And also offers the opportunity to download the audio file.
ReplyDeletePax et bonum,

Works for me.
ReplyDeleteIt works. Now must be found a way to make a little clicky link that will let one stay on the same page and listen to the thingy.
