Actually, I didn't think of the original as a true choral sound, and to me, it did suggest 'under water' along with the picture. Still, I had quite bit of fun with this :) When I saw 4 tracks in the MIDI file I was expecting SATB, which would have enabled me to use choir sounds that best match those ranges. However, you really need to have a stern talk with your singers Dave. They were walking all over each other's ranges quite outrageously. Indeed, I'm surprised there weren't fisticuffs!
It seems they were mostly drunk. I made it clear to them that I'd tolerate no more such behavior, but like most of the singers I work with, I don't think they were listening to me. :)
The compromise I worked out was to use 'Another Choir' for track 1, 'Soft Ahh' for tracks 2 & 4, 'Boy Choir' for track 3. This still wasn't ideal as the lower notes lacked body, so I made a 5th track from a merge of all the others, shaved off the top octave or so, and set it to 'Smooth'. This can make quite a nice Mmmm choir. Here is the final track along with the Rosegarden file and yoshi/zyn patchset. (you'll see I was able to reinstate the ritardando).
Very cool thinking, it's a nice work-around where the original sounds relied on the Angelina synth patch.

Thanks, Will, I really enjoyed the OGG file. I didn't think it would work out as a more-or-less standard choral piece but you made some nice moves on it. Well done, sir !
