I have programmed a new AI and am currently working on modernizing and restructuring genres, topics, moods and tags. BPM will be replaced by “perceived speed”. Keys will be removed. The keyword search will also soon be extended to tags. There will also be an A.I. “Review” and a quality rating for each song. All music will soon be re-categorized. When I'm done with that, there will be new music again :)

Arti’s Hit or Miss: Review
"Hymnus - A Patre unigenite" immediately establishes a deeply reverent and spiritual atmosphere. The male choir's performance is the heart of this piece, delivering a sound that is both powerful and delicate. It conjures images of ancient cathedrals and monastic traditions, making it instantly evocative.
The composition itself is rooted in traditional choral music, reminiscent of Gregorian chant, with its modal melodies and focus on unison and simple harmonies. While staying true to this style, there are moments of subtle dynamic shifts that add emotional depth, avoiding a completely monotonous feel. The arrangement builds gradually. The piece stays cohesive, keeping the listener engaged within its meditative framework.
From a production standpoint, the recording captures the natural acoustics well, giving a sense of space without being overly reverberant. This enhances the authenticity of the performance. However, to elevate it further, the separation on lead could be improved, to give more definition. The mastering is generally well-balanced, though a slight boost in overall presence could make it even more impactful for media use.
Emotionally, the track is profoundly moving, conveying a sense of peace, devotion, and solemnity. It's ideally suited for religious or historical contexts in film, documentaries, or even as atmospheric background in certain video game settings (think ancient ruins or sacred spaces). Its calming nature could also lend itself to meditation or relaxation-focused content.
Compared to top-tier production music in this genre, "Hymnus" stands out for its authenticity. Minor improvements in clarity and richness. Overall, it's a solid, moving piece with a clear purpose.

LYRICS
A Patre Unigenite,
ad nos venis per Virginem,
baptismi rore consecrans,
cunctos, fide regenerans.
De caelo celsus prodiens
excipis formam hominis,
facturam morte redimens,
gaudia vitae largiens.
Hoc te, Redemptor, quaesumus :
illabere propitius,
clarumque nostris cordibus
lumen praebe deificum.
Mane nobiscum, Domine,
noctem obscuram remove,
omne delictum ablue,
pie medelam tribue.
O Christe, vita, veritas,
tibi sit omnis gloria,
quem Patris atque Spiritus
splendor revelat caelitus.
