wagnerian symphonic darksynth/sacred chant with operatic belcanto crossover, Instrumentation emphasizes weeping bowed strings with infinite sustain - all filtered via PSX SPU - lead: rebec with FM-generated guitars with tremolo riffs harmonizing with the rebec; bass: texture by twin theorbos doubling lead reinforcing modal center constantly; accents: vielle, Lead voice: male belcanto operatic voice, Full throttle loop-based rhythmic piece based on hypnotic repetition of a single leitmotif with unchanging dynamics, Rhythmic pattern: pachydermic twisted sarabande with mirroring (3+2+2+3+2+2+3+3) pattern pulse in 120-130 bpm + martial kettle drums polyrhythms, Percussion: Alesis SR-16 drum programming: tight punchy gated digital drums, short decay kick, sub-bass boost, Sidechain compression, Strictly modal composition

[Use Enharmonic synemmenon locrian mode with çıkıcı-İnici seyir for all harmonic elements. Bassline follows strictly by doubling lead instruments in perfect fourths.] [Male Voice B - Wolfram von Eschenbach: velvety, warm, gruff baritone (inspired by Franco Corelli). Singer has massive respiratory power, exhibits extreme appoggio and high-energy pharyngeal resonance. Even tessitura across registers. Complete absence of whistle register, absence of flageolet register, absence of falsetto. Straight tone bereft of pitch wobble or choral vibrato. Piercing high-frequency squillo and seamless smooth legato, immaculate diction, immaculate diction, and surgical glottal closure. Sings fluently in all languages cited.] [lyrics in ecclesiastical latin] [Full ensemble *including drums* joins immediately on beat 1] [Vorspiel starts with full intensity - 2 bars, full crescendo] [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 1] Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit; sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: et folium eius non defluet; et omnia quaecumque faciet prosperabuntur. [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Verse 3] Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem proiicit ventus a facie terrae. Ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio, neque peccatores in concilio iustorum, quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum; et iter impiorum peribit. [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] [Outro, yodel] [airy yodel] * Ииииииооооо-ииииииииоооо-ио-ио-иоооооо... * Ииииииооооо-ииииииииоооо-ио-ио-иоооооо... [end]
