I am not Steeleye Span. It's sad, but it's true.
Due to this incontrovertible fact, this was the best I could manage:
http://download.orphi.me.uk/Music/Voice/Gaudete.mp3
It's not great, but never mind. Rejoice!
PS. I recorded this about 10 minutes ago. In my car, in a layby down the
road. This was the first take. (There *is* a second chorus, but I cut it
because it doesn't sound very good.)

Nice one!
Some echo effect might help to come closer to the "original"(*). Also,
you /do/ have to somehow coax some lass to sing along. Don't care where
you find one. Kidnap one if you must ;)
(*Heck, why do I even bother to use quotes there? Said version /is/, for
all intent and purpose, the original ;))
Did I ever mention that I /love/ polyphonic accapella music?

Thanks.
This song is actually harder than I expected. For a start, the top line
is a bit too high for my voice. I can easily sing it starting from A3,
but to be able to fit the harmonies in, it needs to up go an octave.
That's rather uncomfortable for me. So here I'm singing in G-minor
instead, which makes a surprisingly big difference.
The other thing - and this I did not realise - is that the meter
alternates between 4/4 and 6/4 time. Which makes it near-impossible to
build a suitable click track. So there's that.
Also, having a surprising amount of trouble with breath control. And I'm
not really sure why. This doesn't *sound* like it should be
challenging... but it is. I don't get why.
Still, being slightly rough around the edges makes it sound slightly
more "authentic", no? :-} Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! :-P

Heh, I could probably coax my singing teacher into accompanying me. Her
voice type would fit well too...
> Did I ever mention that I /love/ polyphonic accapella music?
I took up singing lessons FOR A REASON. ;-)
I, too, love the sound of big block vocal harmonies. I love ABBA, the
Beach Boys, old doo-wop music, choir music, anything.
Unfortunately, I will never be as awesome as any of these luminaries. :-(

Yeah. Other than that I need to find a better recording studio.
Somewhere I can *stand up*. And not be freezing cold. Because both of
those are highly limiting when it comes to trying to sing.

Nah. The walls are made of cardboard. I can clearly hear my neighbours,
so there's little reason to suppose they can't hear me.

There are worse fates in life ;)
Presuming, of course, that your head provided more space for them than
just their 1983 hit.
This one, for instance, smells like fun:

You just don't know good sound when you hear it. Not that I'd have
expected anything else -- after all, your people's idea of music is to
stick wooden tubes into goatskin bags and puff them up until they whine
and wail :-P

fascinating in all of Europe... if they only ditched the pipes, that is ;)

True with only one or two notable exceptions. Music became either
trivial or disharmonic after the romantic period.

I strongly disagree; there's plenty contemporary (read: 20th century and
later) non-trivial harmonic music to find. As for the trivial or
disharmonic, I guess it has always existed; it's just that it is long
forgotten as far as romantic and pre-romantic times are concerned.

That's Bavarian, not German :-P
Besides, at least they use equipment that /could/ be employed to produce
sound remotely worthy of being called music.
(I'm glad you didn't mention Karlheinz Stockhausen though. /That/ was
true German crime against music, against which even your pipes pale in
comparison.)

Well it is all a matter of personal opinion, isn't it.
I like Bach and can't stand Mahler, my wife feels the opposite. It is
true that most people I know can't stand the sounds of the pipes. But
their blood doesn't rise with it. Mine does, my gain. I don't like pop,
my loss.
BTW Is Bavaria not part of Germany or is that some parochial prejudiced
creeping in?

Not part of Germany, no.
Part of our Federal Republic, yes. Sneaked their way in, somehow. Still
have their own consitution, which they've just put on hold for as long
as they happen to claim that Bavaria be part of the Federal Republic of
Germany.
Entirely different culture. Heck, they don't even drink beer. Entirely
different language, too. They've tried to introduce German, but they
just can't seem to learn it. Austrians in disguise, is what they are.
The front yard of the Balkans.

We could be getting into a "Top Vs Bottom" fermentation flame war with this.
Would you believe that my first try at brewing beer. I spread the yeast
on a slice of toast and floated it on top of the wort.

Three fellow students -- one originally from Munich, one originally from
Cologne, and one originally from Dortmund -- visit a bar. The guy from
Munich orders a "Weizen" (the stuff the Bavarians down from 0.5 to 1.0
liter tankards), the guy from Cologne orders a "Kölsch" (the stuff that
people from Cologne and vicinity sip from 0.2 liter cylindrical glasses).
The guy from Dortmund orders a Coke.
Puzzled, the other two ask him why he doesn't order a "Pils" (the stuff
people in the Ruhr area drink from 0.3 or 0.33 liter stemmed glasses).
"Naah," he declines with a gesture of generosity. "If you won't have a
beer, neither will I."
Now, what do we learn from the story?
That the students are probably immatriculated at the university of
Cologne, as Kölsch isn't widely available outside its region of origin.

"im feuerstrom der reben" it is not.

If you must drink a gallon or the equivalent, in real money. Make it
Guinness or a pint of heavy.

Weizen comes in the tall 0.5L glasses, the tankards are for a Helles. I
don't think I ever saw anyone drinking a 1.0L weizen.

See? Even Germans have no idea what the Fucking Hell (*) the Bavarians
drink ;)
(* no, that's neither a swear word nor English language, that's a German
