Ever thought what would happen when you listen to sacred choral music and gregorian chant all at the same time? I did. I thought up this idea a long time ago and never tried it until about 3 months ago when I gave it a shot. What happened astounded me. It sounded so eerily cosmic.. I showed this to my friend and he thought it was pure godly genius. He, like i am, is a music major. There's something beautifully mysterious about the way this ended up. Sounded very divine, very angelic, as if a multitudes of choirs of angels were singing.. I wanted to show you this too. So I devised a video up of what I heard.
So. What DOES happen when you play Sacred Choral Music and Gregorian Chant all at the same time? This the result..
Music in the video:
Morten Lauridsen: O Magnum Mysterium
Samuel Barber: Agnus Dei
Sanctus Lambertus Gregorian Chant.

This is really beautiful. I feel like if this music is being used in a movie, it can be used for either a very dark and dreadful scene or a victorious one; If someone is fighting a war, just cut out the war sounds and play this music. Or, if someone just discovered some sort of treasure or achieved some goal, this music would be perfect. I'm not a music major, but I've been practicing my singing (soprano and alto in the works).

@omega-not Thanks! And I totally agree! It's something you would literally hear or expect to hear when you discover some sort of like magic book or a mysterious magic place that no one has ever been to before! And yeah, no one has to be a music major to enjoy or sing music. I believe everyone has the capability to sing, to their hearts content, the international language of love which is music. Btw, I'm a tenor!

Yay for tenors! I'm not sure if this is weird or what not, but since I can hit pretty high notes, I've been practicing with singing lower notes so I try to sing with the tenors.................. >.> I can't hit the notes, obviously, (so I'm most likely singing alto at that point). I just started practicing singing about two months ago so I'm definitely NOT posting a singing video anytime soon (if at all >.< everyone would stop following me lol). Any singing tips for a newbie? :o I also used to play the piano (but that also was a while ago). And....... I used to play the guitar (right about when dirt started to exist).

@omega-not Sure! It doesn't kill you to practice singing big ranges. But if you're a high-note gal, don't force yourself to try to sing low! Trying to sing like a tenor or lower then you should when you're a soprano or alto is highly unadvisable. On the contrary, it actually hurts you! It makes your vocal chords and the other muscles in your throat that contract to make the pitches work twice as hard than it should. In the process, you might actually hurt yourself doing it.
The best thing you wanna do is work on your tessitura, which is your most esthetically acceptable and comfortable vocal range. So find out what the lowest note you can make with good quality is and the highest note you can make with good quality, and practice those notes with good frontal singing (singing in the front of your mouth, rather than in the back of your throat). The goal is to slowly extend your vocal range. But you want to still keep that good quality singing with you! I recommend singing this exercise down below. And then to extend it to the higher range, raise the notes a half-pitch higher! Sing from the highest point downwards as if singing in the opposite direction for your bottom range! When you hit a point in the bottom range where you feel like you're straining yourself even a bit, stop because you might have hit your ending point. Ask around your singer friends or anyone else you might know that could help to help you practice!
You said you used to play the piano. That's good! It'll help. You don't need to be a professional pianist to use it for your practicing. Use the piano to give yourself the notes, so you can hear them while you sing. That's all you need to do from the piano!

First, thanks so much for taking time to give me advice! Any singing advice is much appreciated (I'm in need of help). I've actually been watching a ton of different YT videos for all of the singing I've been practicing. I used to only be able to sing higher notes, but after some practice, I have managed to sing much lower. I still can't control a nice vibrato (it comes and goes). I try to focus on having good breath support. My biggest challenge is being consistent with singing; sometimes when I hear great singers, it makes me lazy. Instead of wanting to singing great music, I just want to idly listen to great music.

Anytime! And you can appreciate music in any way. Knowledge of the arts doesn't belong to just one person, it belongs to all.

I would like to listen with a slight background percussion would give more body to the sound

That would sound cool! Though the purpose of this project was to just hear only choral voices. But if you would like to see what it'll sound like with percussion, I'll try it out!
