Talk:Tristis est anima mea (Philipp Dulichius)

Voicing really double alto?

Looks to me like there's only one alto line and one bass, with the rest tenors, unless the alto can sing down to low D or else disregards the octivation, singing high compared to the rest of the texture. Should this be only ATTTTB? -- Vaarky 08:45, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Vaarky, it was you who added the alternative voicing, back in February. Can you remember what made you think it should be added? —Carlos  17:28, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Forgot! I checked my notes--line 2 has one low D in m7, which can be covered either if the alto(s) can sing that low or by not making the octave leap down to the low D. -- Vaarky 07:43, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
