virtual organ + virtual singers = song of bapteme

[musicalis]

Hi !
For the bapteme of my nephew, I wrote, a few years ago this small song.
Virtual Organ is played by a French software called "harmony-assistant", and virtual singers (a male and a female voices) are played by a plug-in of this software.

Do you like it ?
Does someone want to write English lyrics ?

here is the music : http://musicalis.monespace.net/autres/img167a.mp3
and here is the PDF score (with French lyrics) : http://musicalis.monespace.net/autres/img167a.mp3
The plug-in called "virtual singer" is able to sing in English, french, Italian .... latin. Many differents voices are available, even Edith Piaf.

Tell me what you think about that. Thanks

Hi J-Paul,

Nice tune - It's a tune that is easy on the ears. A surprise ending though ... I was expecting a return to the starting key. Maybe that was intentional.

One of these days I'll get around to experimenting with Harmony-Assistant. I downloaded the trial version a couple days ago. If I have questions about it, I'll fire them off to you.

In fact you are right. I was so hurry to complete this song that I have not written the word "end".
The song ends in the middle of bar n°5 after the word "généreux".
very good remark !!! thanks.

Hi Jean-Paul,

It seems to that both the links you gave are to the mp3 version, and that there's no link to the PDF. I would really like to see the score.

You are right. I have made one more mistake(cut & paste).

Hi Jean-Paul,

I've been waiting for someone to come up with a lyric. But since noone seems to be forthcoming, I'll present my idea.
It occurred to me that this tune fits the text of "When He Cometh," an old hymn that's sometimes used at christenings and baptisms. I'm sending my version to your message box.
I still hope that there's a poet out there who will write a real lyric for this delightful melody--maybe a free translation of the French text?

I don't listened it yet, but i have Harmony Assistant with Virtual singer. I think its human voice is terrible. A true choir is better. But the organ is good.

I'll get back to this later...I'm on my way to prepare to go to Church.
