Some one mentioned a program called CHANT.  Sounds interesting, where can I
find out about it.  There was some other mention of programs that sing. 
Anybody know how many can sing in tongues, simultaneously.  That is to say
that if you hook up several voice synthesis modules one should be able to
sing in tongues, simultaneously.

A fellow from RAND, the other day, in reference to questions relating to
TIME CHANGE WITHOUT PITCH CHANGE and simultaneous singing of clue words
in a second language that remained in time to the music in the original
tongue track, asked how I would handle words that could not be translated
word for word and remain true to the original's time. I think if "Scubby
Dubby Do" had to be clue word dubbed [notice that I did not use the word 
translated"] to "she bop she bop" I would just accept that as only occuring
in a small percentage of the cases.
