Mozart: Requiem - Lacrimosa 

We all have

Man, that bass is really something else. I'm a baritone singing bass in a choir and it's rare to see someone so powerful and yet precise

It's not incorrect. You're right to presume that this is Italian style latin. It's 100% perfect for a performance of Mozart's music. BTW: do you know the French tradition of pronouncing Latin? They are singing for example the word »sanctus« with a nasal »ng« instead of a »n« and an u that sounds like a German »ü« or the last vowel in »révue«. And it sounds great 👍

Latin is taught and pronounced differently in every country. None of them, even the ecclesiastical variety is superior to the others, because noone knows exactly how Latin was pronounced 2000 years ago. We can suspect that even in those times, Latin was pronounced in as many different ways as today. Rome was a great empire, and a lot of different nations came into contact with the ancient Romans' language, and made their influence on its local form. Actual Latin gave rise to vulgar Latin, which, in turn, gave rise to numerous dialects of "Italian" in Italy, a lot of them differing in pronounciation in similar ways to today's Latin varieties. This shows that Latin as a language is inherently capable of changes and modifications, still keeping its own character.

Highschoolers do it too! This is my first year in a choir (I'm a Freshman) and we're doing this song.

I can’t hear any male tenors, no matter how hard I try, I feel like every upper part is very feminine

They are there. Just blending well.

MikiKaoru nope I’m right the females have to be tenors, because I’ve listened to this so closely, especially on the lower notes the tenors become quieter, which wouldn’t happen becomes males can Antrim sing the notes, a on the “Do Na” part,they females come in on the tenor part

Yes I believe so....

They are male tenors, we hear them clearly at 2:15 if you want an example 😊
