These are patches made from samples found in boychoir.krz, haaa1.sds,
and gothic.sds (for more information on what these files are, and
where to find some of your own, refer to John Capps Patch Making
Reference).  Looping the samples well drove me up the wall.  The tools
used were Patch Maker Lite 1.12, Goldwave 2.0 (for volume shaping), 
and Wave Lite (for its excellent waveform plots which helped tremendously
in finding suitable loop points).

The patches are:

boychoir.pat
- The original boychoir.krz samples totalled to more than 700kB.  I 
  tossed out data liberally, but preserved sampling rate, bit resolution 
  and the number of multisamples, to end up with this 400kB patch.  It
  sounds better than the standard GUS choir, but has a slower attack.

bcsmall.pat:
- This is boychoir.pat with three of the samples discarded to make the
  patch more memory efficient.  Almost as good as boychoir.pat.

gothic2.pat:
- Gothic choir.  This patch uses only one sample (because I could only 
  find one sample), and is thus limited in its useable range.  If you 
  want low, rumbling Gregorian chants, this patch might do.  Centred on
  G3.

haaa1.pat:
- A woman singing "Haaa..." on G#4.  Again, just one sample.
