5-part neo-renaissance motet: Ut Kebab Laxis (Cantamus app)

Vocal polyphony in ""renaissance"" style using A.V. Koskinen's ‪@avkoskinenarchive‬ version of the hymn "Ut Queant Laxis" (by Guido d'Arezzo) as cantus firmus: • Did Guido D'Arezzo inv...
If I sometimes use silly lyrics in my compositions, it's because it helps me work without the pressure of perfectionism (and also because deep down I'm a bit of a clown).

Lyrics:
Doner kebab,
Repollus fibris.
Mia Cocacola,
Falafelus maximus.
Solo patata amicus,
La diarrea securis.
Salsa iogurtis.

This is truly magnificent. Maestro Koskinen would be really proud of this composition as he was very fond of Renaissance music in his first period.

[@SusanneStechow-r6n]

I have not never heard yet something about this composer. Is he contemporary to ourselves? And from Finland? The name sounds so.

[@tymonkarpinski1548]

THIS. IS. BRILLIANT!!! Telling people from now on that solmization came from a kebab order instead of a prayer to Saint John 😆

[@tymonkarpinski1548]

You even included the SI being initials instead of the first syllable! Hats off to you, good sir!

[@bargledargle7941]

You combined two things I like into one wonderful piece. You just created counterpoint but put lyrics that are actually good.

[@OrthodoxChristianMusicProject]

I am speechless, mostly because my mouth is stuffed as i chew my Doner Kebab! 🤣 Absolutely hysterical. Love it. Delicious!

[@Ivan_1791]

Esto es lo mejor que he visto en meses, eres un grande

[@joshuamusic02]

Absolutely stunning, ive missed your vocal polyphony and this one is exceptionally satisfying! I think the funny lyrics are also a way for you to get more views as it seems to interest people!

[@RashFever26]

I take this as a sign from the algorithm that I have to buy kebab today

[@bourpierre198]

LMAO, brilliant lyrics! (oh, and harmony too !)

[@rocamoli9007]

Josquin primero y Palestrina después, se deben estar removiendo en sus tumbas. Enhorabuena profesor Cano....

[@carlitos5336]

😂😂 la letra. Muy bella comp ❤

[@davidbasden5700]

Tasty! Now I'm getting the munchies! 🎶🎵🎶

[@marekzdrahal2148]

epic

[@HiroDeBrine]

I wonder what Tallis would think of this. Did kebab arrive in Tudor England?

[@avkoskinenarchive]

It is likely Tallis would have loved the Kebab and dedicated it a motet.

[@reapeageddon6859]

The only way this could be better is if it were in 4/2... Very convincing.

Is cantamus a paid app

[@jayhoffman69]

sadly, yes

[@joshuamusic02]

Not really sadly. People developing this great technology need to make money

[@SusanneStechow-r6n]

Kebab? Really? That oriental meat dish? What has that to do with the St-John`s-hymn "Ut QUEANT laxis? I know both. I like both. But the one has nothing to do with the other and it is also a different kind of "to like".

[@avkoskinenarchive]

This is the product of a personal experience Koskinen had. He wanted to express his admiration for the kebab through music, truly genius.
