Fons,
Oops on that IV typo - I actually learned to count to five a long time
ago. That little progression fragment I cited should have been II V
resolving back to I. Anyway, the chord structure for that entire song
file you sent are:
Em Em G G
F F C C
Em Em G G
F F C C
Em Em G G
A A B B
Em Em G G
F#7 G Em Bb
B7 F#7 B7 G
Em Em G G
F F C C
Em Em G G
F F C C
Em Em G G
A A B B
Em Em G G
F F F F
F F F F
F/E F/E F/E F/E
F/E F/E F/E F/E
F/E F/E F/E F/E
E E E E
E E E E
E E E E
with each line being a 4/4 measure and each chord being struck on the
beat, or in the case of those doubled up at least struck the first time
and held for the second. I'm pretty sure of everything through the Fs
at the end, and believe I hear the bass drop into the dissonance of that
add E against the F chord before the whole thing resolves triumphally to
that glorious E major at close.

:-) I actually started to question my own counting skills
when reading that, but since it was after midnight I decided
to look at it again next morning...
Thanks to Frank, Robin and Ken. I now have a number
of almost identical versions (including my own), so
it should be possible to work what's happening.

No, but I'd love to create an ad-hoc LAU-orchestra and
perform the complete AHM live at some LAC, rendered of
course in glorious 3rd order periphonic AMB. We'd have
to work out the rather chromatic stuff at the start,
and find singers and a cello and brass players (or just
synthesize all of those !)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

The site provides almost no info at all on how this was
achieved. I suspect this is not really full synthesis
but based on analysis of real voices singing the actual
score.

So how do you go about creating a synthesising a singing voice in Linux?
I'd love to have a go but have a sneaky suspicion it's in no way
trivial.
I quite enjoyed listening to it, though it's not what I usually listen
to (or more like, what I used to listen to but rarely do anymore).

Nowhere on the page does it say the voices were synthesized, and on the
second piece it actually has a list of the names of the performers.
The composer uses open-source software running on Linux to compose and
score the piece, but not to perform it. It's a bit of a shame - a
really good physical-modelling voice synth would be fun...
