O Beata Virgine

i just added a harp part to a composition of same name by Lionel Power, renaissance composer, with several minor changes, mainly to the rhythm and key/pitch. anyway that changed completely the piece's character and sonority ;).

i don't remember if i have already posted this one, but anyway i very much improved it recently

thanks!

The URL goes to your home page and it requires a search to find this piece - and it isn't clear whether the entry on page 2 is the new revised version or the old one.

The piece has a fine flow with some interesting contrapuntal ideas especially some delightful touches in one of the upper parts at around one minute.

The percussive instrumentation has fairly strong overtones which now and then clash a little - I assume you wanted this percussive effect. If one or two parts had a sustaining instrument, a recorder say, it might work well too. A krummhorn with its nasal timbre might be great and hold its own against the percussiove parts but I guess that isn't an available sound - an oboe might do.

I don't know Leonel Power's original work but this is quite enjoyable.

:O sorry for the wrong link! it's fixed now ...

thanks for your comments! the percussive effect is intentional. actually i tried it with flute and clarinet but it didn't work well. :P
