UPDATE: I just listened to that Compari Tigani (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV7CDK7PBIY) clip like 15 times with my bass guitar and was trying to tab it out, unless I'm crazy it sounds like the bass chanter is playing F-G-A-A#-C and the high chanter is playing an octave higher at E-F-G-A-A#-C. Someone please corroborate me on this before I go insane.

I'm hearing 3 drones : F, C, f'.
