Recordist's notes

To reveal the reverberation of an acoustic space, one can simply clap our hands. One can also, in a more delicate & melodic way, improvise with a baroque recorder, some variations of the anthem « ave maris Stella » Pour révéler la réverbération d'un espace acoustique, il suffit de simplement frapper dans ses mains. On peut aussi, de manière plus mélodique, improviser avec une flûte à bec baroque, quelques variations sur l'hymne « Ave maris Stella » enregistrement Olympus LS12
