Rachmaninoff: Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14 (synthesized)
YouTube Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943): Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 4
"This very famous composition, composed in 1912 by Sergei Rachmaninoff, is scored for solo voice with piano accompaniment. It has no lyrics, but is sung on a single vowel sound (of the vocalist's choosing). It was dedicated to soprano Antonina Nezhdanova. The piece is somewhat tonally ambiguous, though bears resemblance to the E minor tonality. It is often transposed so as to suit the range of a variety of vocalists.
This synthesized rendition was generated by our Matlab synthesizer, utilizing two unique "instruments" we have programmed. The piano accompaniment timbre contains strong odd harmonics, while the melody stands out through its use of vibrato. The scrolling visualization on screen is a spectrogram, a graphic plot of the spectral content of an audio signal. The vertical axis represents frequency, and the horizontal axis time. Higher-pitched notes appear higher up on the screen, and the harmonics for each individual note are visible above the fundamental at regularly spaced intervals"
