How does he achieve this sound?

When I try to do something like this(vst) it sounds like a drone or just complete shit.
i don't listen to renaissance at all. j.s. bach is as early as it gets for me.

Guillaume de Machaut is GOAT.

Does anyone have a place to download all of The Sound and The Fury's discography?
brahms vs liszt
>>66000869
I have everything they did apart from their Gombert 2, which can apparently only be found on some japanese cd site that only ships to locations inside the Home Islands. You can find quite a few of their recordings on youtube if you search for them though.
>>66001032
Where did you download them from?
>>66000981
brahms of course.
>>66001056
Believe it or not, half of them from soulseek (La Rue, Gombert 1, Caron 1, Faugues, Ockeghem 2, Pipelare), some from file sharing sites (Ockeghem 1, Gombert 3 and Obrecht) and the rest I can't find anywhere else so I scraped from youtube (Caron 2, Ockeghem 3 and Orto). Pipelare is their latest recording, I don't think they've done anything since. I don't have a what account but chances are they may have something that's not available elsewhere.
>>66000981
Brahms hands down.
The real question is: Liszt vs Mendelssohn
>>66001139
mendelssohn. liszt could actually compose but was so utterly tasteless most of the time. mendelssohn wins for midsummer nights dream, symphonies 4 & 5 and his chamber music.
>>66000754
>Tallis Scholars
Been listening to a lot of Gombert lately.
And taking tentative steps to setting up a very informal consort with some of my singing friends so we can sing Franco-Flemish music since none of the established groups bother with it.
>>66001139
>>66001065
Further proof
Incidentally, I was reading through Taruskin's collection of essays on Russian music and he argues that Rimsky-Korsakov is probably one of the most underrated composers of all time
>>66002158
Have you tried singing stuff from mensural notation? You can find a copy of Gardano's 1562 print of Morales Magnificats there http://purl.org/rism/BI/1562/1 which is absolutely beautiful. Morales writes really smooth lines so it shouldn't be too difficult even for amateurs.
>>66002375
Can someone help?
>He made damn sure everyone knew exactly what he hated and why he hated it, but when it came to Chopin the only thing I've ever heard him say is "it goes in one ear and out the other". This is strange since all the other composers he hated were verbally assassinated one way or the other, be it an exhaustive deconstruction of their music or a venomous joke. What's even stranger is that Gould was notoriously intolerant of musical bombast, "heroism", and extraversion in general, Chopin being perhaps the only composer who never dabbled in these things. Add to that Gould's obsession with counterpoint and Chopin's obvious command of the form - op 32/1 and 55/2 being prime examples - and it becomes one of Gould's most enigmatic aspects.
>>66002174
>Further proof
brahms is a top 3 composer. how can liszt even compete?
>german music
>>66002158
And by established groups, I mean in my area (which admittedly is a small university town, but there's an incredible amount of music going on relative to size)
>>66002380
Might be interesting to try. It is often frustrating how the arrangement of renaissance music into modern notation can completely change how the music 'looks' and accordingly how it sounds. I'll discuss it with the others but I suspect they'll be a bit reticent.
>>66002456
Gould was a memester
>>66002744
Great answer.
>>66002634
I think the problem with early notation boils down to the issue of ligatures, intricacies of mensural notation, inflected accidentals and text fitting. For Morales the first two aren't really issues, the second amounts to occasional raising of leading tones in the soprano, and the last one is moot since the Gardano edition has the text meticulously fitted, unlike earlier prints. After that there's just the issue of transposing the high clef pieces downwards to suit the ranges of the male singers.
>>65999849
Reminder that there's was a disc of parody magnificats by Lassus out last year.
>>66001139
Probably Liszt. You hear stuff about Mendelssohn being this prodigy and genius, but outside of his Quartets I haven-t heard anything I've liked all that much.
>>66000981
liszt was light-years ahead of brahms
tchaikovsky confirmed brahms for uninspired craftsman
>>66003800
But Tchaikovsky is shit so how could he be right?
Caesar is my favorite ensalada, though I do occasionally enjoy a wedge
>>66003800
>tchaikovsky
lol. even worse than liszt.
