Orpheus Singers – Victoria Madrigals

Kevin Allswede and I were given the opportunity to record the University of Michigan Orpheus Singers performing works by Tomás Luis de Victoria.

The singers chose to sing in two concentric circles around the microphones. We used a blumelein configuration for the main stereo pair and added two room mics to add space.

The recordings are posted in the University of Michigan SMTD media gallery as well as on my soundcloud. The project is described in more detail here.
