King Harvest (Has Surely Come)

169 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 66% — put it in F major, a key signature of 1 flat. The tempo printed above is the median of the 169 readings; 89% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 99.8 to 104.6 BPM.

At 99.9 BPM one beat lasts 600.6 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 150.2 ms and a dotted eighth 450.5 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 50 BPM, counted twice as fast 199.8. A score would mark that Andante, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 437 Hz, which is 12 cents below concert A at 440 Hz — the sort of drift a tape machine or a slightly different mastering leaves behind. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 4.86 dB: that is how far the level wanders from its own average, so a small number means a loud, flat master and a large one means a recording that still breathes. Its average loudness is 0.856 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
