Exsultet recording--low voice?

    Friends, a priest friend of mine (bass) is having trouble learning the new Exsultet with the high-voice recording that I've sent him. *Have any of you basso profundos done a recording yourself of the new translation that I could pass along to him?*

    I could get you a recording of the exultet sotto voce, but that 1) would sound odd, and 2) probably isn't what you meant by "low voice."

    :P

    On a more helpful note, could you take an existing recording and use audacity or another audio manipulation program to transpose it? Never tried, but it might be worth a shot if you don't find anything else.

    A "high voice" and a "low voice" recording and video of the Exsultet in English are available at this website.

    Ben, that may be an option, though I'm a computer-schmo and have very little experience with Audacity. Thanks for the idea, though.

    JMO, this may be perfect, thanks!

    I tried transposing with Audacity, and it ended up sounding quite unnatural. I gave up.
