Gesualdo synthesis?

I'm curious if anyone has made (mp3/ogg/etc.) files of Gesualdo's
vocal music - scores here

http://www.icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Gesualdo.php

The most 'extreme' example of chromaticism is usually held to be 'Moro
lasso' from the Sixth Book. In general I don't think Gesualdo goes
beyond the Gb-B# range of a 19-note keyboard or uses enharmonic steps.
I would be interested to hear how it sounds in 1/4 comma or 31-equal,
which are both good easy approximations to whatever sort of JI one
might hold to be ideal for the music.

As usual with Renaissance vocal music, harmonic-rich and vibratoless
timbres are highly preferred. For example the reed organ known as
'regal' - essentially an early harmonium.

Some recordings are available here (from the "official" italian
website dedicated to the composer):

S'io non miro non moro: http://www.gesualdo.com/due.mp3

Margo Schulter has made a nice alt-tuning synthesis of
a piece called "Gagliarda" -- I don't know the origin and
I can't find this hosted on the web at the moment...

Vibrato city! Those guys (in uno / due) couldn't recognise a pure
third if it hit them on the nose.
'Madrigale' is a brass ensemble, competently played but more or less
ET intonation.
'ave.mp3' is at least purely sung with attention to intonation, but
not harmonically adventurous. Very resonant acoustic, I wonder who the
perfomers were.

Agree - the last piece is the most interesting in that selection - too
bad it's such a short snippet of an mp3.

One of those that still escapes the Goog.

I don't know what 'Goog' is, but I think you mean that you couldn't
figure that it was:

http://www.bestii.com/~mschulter/GesualdoGagliardaAJI.mp3
http://www.bestii.com/~mschulter/GesualdoGagliardaAJI.ogg

Otherwise, what you are saying escapes the Goog.

I meant Google doesn't seem to index it. -Carl
