@@nathuru3055 Hi! Good question - as the person above implies, the tonal system isn’t really a useful or relevant construct for understanding this sort of music. However, if you’re asking about pitch, I hope you don’t mind if I copy a response I gave below: Notated pitch and performance pitch are only loosely connected during this period and numerous sources tell us that the pitch was set according to the ranges of the available voices, the importance of the liturgical event, or even simply the director’s preference! Here’s a nice article which lays out some of the issues: www.brepolsonline.net/doi/epdf/10.1484/J.JAF.5.131813 And a few extra sources I’ve come across over the past few years: www.cacophonyhistoricalsinging.com/post/giovanni-bardi-on-the-ancient-and-modern-methods-of-singing-different-modes-c-1578 While we’re an all-male group and often tune things downwards, it’s worth noting that there’s plenty of evidence for transpositions upwards for performances in convents or other contexts with female singers. Here’s a great article on the subject: www.jstor.org/stable/26546433

Hi - yes we do! This was filmed during the pandemic during which time we often sang from partbooks, but if you look at some of our other videos you can see us singing from choirbook as well. Glad you enjoyed it!
