My multitrack attempt

When I'm bored and alone, I usually spend alot of time on the microphone, recording four part harmonies to amuse myself. This particular one I did after hearing someone else do it really well, although my version isn't anywhere near as good...still, I put it up anyway and thought I might as well share. Tell me what you think.
Note that I don't really have any good equipment to do this with. I don't own a web-cam, and the mic I used is from a PS2 game. -_- Sort of like a hobo approach to recording things...

So, "that was" your voice? hmmm, not bad I guess... :roll:
What inspired you to record such "music" - you should've included "lyrics" :lol:
The "recording" was just fine imo. I would have preferred it though to hear something "HEAVY" 8) - or a "lil bit" Hard(core)!
It wasn't really bad, but it made me feel sleepy, honestly.

Reminds me of both some early music pieces as well as a barber shop quartet. If you are into this kind of thing, early music composers have a lot of beautiful pieces for 4 voices a cappella. Of course, barber shop quartets are another source of 4 part a cappella music, and often are squeezed into a narrower range.
Your just intonation is really good too. That's hard to do, I know from singing lots of four part early music. Even harder when singing all the parts yourself.
What is the origin of the piece you recorded?

Thanks, always good to see another 4-part music enthusiast. This is the tag to 'O Come Emmanuel' as recorded by the Gas House Gang on their christmas album 'Some Children See Him'. They're my favorite quartet by far, and have some great arrangements. Here they are at an afterglow in Japan.

How much vocal range does it take to sing all those parts? If I recall barbershop 4tet is tenor, tenor, baritone, bass. I know I can't personally do it because I have too many low notes that aren't even in a lot of the 4 part pieces and not enough high notes.

This particular tag doesn't go too high or low (had to falsetto the tenor though), so it wasn't that bad.
