Sorry, but we are posting just a few now to illustrate the limitations of synthesized vocals. More selections with better audio will be available as we upgrade later in 2026.
“Gloria” from 1895 by John J. McClennan, Tabernacle organist from 1900 to 1930. This selection was originally for chorus and orchestra, then published in a version for chorus and organ. This was a single movement from his larger five-movement “Mass in E-flat”. The full piece was performed in Michigan where the composer went to college to study in a music conservatory. He then returned to Utah and the Tabernacle Choir performed this single movement, with the lyrics translated from Latin to English by Evan Stephens. Note that this recording is only the first half of the piece, due to the complexity and the time (many hours!) required to do the notation. And it does not include the many organ voicings suggested in the score for instruments with stops to simulate brass, flutes, etc., due to the limitations of the software used. I’ll probably finish this recording someday when it can include vocals to better reflect the original concept. (Audio only, click to play.)
There’s Love in her Bright Blue Eye, a song for Tenor and chorus from 1877 by the prolific Joseph J. Daynes. Just one verse for this demo. (Audio only – click to listen.)
Really? Just TWO vocal recordings? Sorry, but without access to live performers there is not much chance of having good quality vocal recordings here. We are looking into the various A.I. singing software options to see if they might yield results which more closely honor the original intent. Something might work out by mid-2026.
But for now, please accept my apologies. If you are interested in performing vocal music that fits the themes of this site please let us know. We would love to have some better vocal recordings to share here. We can even suggest or supply sheet music that is on point.
Same if you already have audio or video recordings you would be willing to share. I could link to your own YouTube videos to ensure that you get full credit and “clicks,” if permission is granted to link from here. Selections would need to be pre-1930, or have other ways of navigating the issues of Copyrights and Public Domain status.
Thanks!
