The Olympus Symphonic Choir Collection by Soundiron is the ultimate men's and women's symphonic choir library, combining the Mars Men's and Venus Women's Choirs into one comprehensive package. This collection is designed to provide unmatched sonic power and playability, with a superior range of detailed articulations, robust sonic presence, and natural true legato.
This expansive collection covers a wide range of content including Latin, Russian (Slavonic), and pure vowel articulations. It includes sustains, marcatos, staccatos, true legato vowels, clusters, falls, swells, effects, and features stellar male soloists. Additionally, there are 8 soloists for each standard vocal range: bass, tenor, alto, and soprano. The library also offers a wealth of useful FX and atmospheric content, vital for modern music production and underscoring.
Recorded over 20 days with Maestro Robert Geary at Montclair Presbyterian, the collection features a 63-voice group from the SF Symphony Chorus, SF Opera, SF Choral Society, and Volti singers. The Mars and Venus libraries include two stereo mic positions (stage/close and hall/far), balanced using 12 large diaphragm microphones set throughout the hall. This setup provides flexibility for both stereo and surround mixes.
Olympus includes a full 33-voice female chorus and a 30-voice men's chorus, along with 8 soloists, performing in Latin and Slavonic. The collection offers true legato intervals for ah, eh, oh, oo, and mm vowel sounds, alongside a vast array of choral effects. Two composite microphone distances (close/stage and far/hall) are available, crafted from 12 large diaphragm Neumann Microphones. Additionally, Olympus features a bonus collection of ambiences, drones, textures, and FX content.
