2004 Quartet Quarter Finals 038 O C Times No One Loves You Any Better Than Your M A Double M Y
They were definitely ahead of their time - those full voice high notes is all I see in competition nowadays.
Second Edition , Hello My Baby
Was this uploaded in the 80’s
I don't think any quartet will do this song better than Max Q! Just the truth!
Wow!
I got to sing tags with David in the mid 80’s. Miss my friend David!!!
this shit slaps dude wtf
I can't stop admiring this video. Every word is beautifully executed, every note in perfect pitch and emission. Breath amazingly worked. Winners.
what a quartet, what a lead voice!!!
The best arrangement of this song I have ever heard!
A transcription of this would be beautiful <3
Pleasure to enjoy this and so see all my 300k views
If I had to pick a single quartet to sing a Chinese 7th chord perfectly, I think it’d be Second Edition.
Absolute perfection, this song it self i do not like but the arrangement was sheer perfection. i get goose bumps every time i hear this. they deserve every award they had coming. 50 thumbs up.
The chord on “-bow” (of “rainbow”) at 3:09 is RIDICULOUS. How these guys didn’t win in ‘88 is beyond me.
Awesome job boys!!👌👍
Epic cover! Just WOW 👌
O! My heart.Brings back so many memories of hearing my dad sing with the many quartets he belonged to.
And that’s what it’s like to know you just won a gold medal. Wow!!
Beautiful... Caught a tear on my way to work ... Miss you pops
Amazing that this nearly 30-year-old performance would still score in the 90s. It's a tribute to the musical artistry of both the arranger and the performer. Glad to say I was in the audience when they delivered this masterpiece. :)
What a luck to have been there! Breathtaking! One question: do you know if this quartet exists nowadays?
@@elsincuello The members are still around but this quartet retired decades ago...www.aicgold.com/1989-second-edition/
@@elsincuello David Harrington, their lead, used to direct the Zero8 SNOBS Chorus, and their tenor Fred Farrell went on to sing tenor for Crossroads, who won Internationals in '09.
Parker Rognrud It was actually their baritone, Doug Harrington (brother to David) that directed Zero8.
Wahl95 That’s right. Thanks!
unreal
Who's the arranger? This is great
I believe it's Ed Waesche.
It's in the Polecat II book
Bob Duncan?
These guys were 18th?!
Almost as good as the original. Very nice job but just short of The Most Happy Fellows, who introduced it in 1978 at Salt Lake.
jr57 met most happy fellows Barber Shop somewhere over the rainbow
rather nice!
did they win?
yes..they won gold medal!
What an INTRO!
Everything a barbershop quartet should be :)
Yep.
nice arrangement
1:28
This song always screws me up when it is sung so brilliantly.
Nb
It “delivers me”!👌
I feel so proud to have known these guys. What an awesome quartet!!!
I understand...I first heard them when Doug was a pre-teen singing tenor. They (The Harrington Brothers) were not well received by the "old guard" because they were too young. They had what it took then, just sad to see they didn't get the chance to turn the society onto it's ear.
I sometimes wonder how arrangers in barbershop find such fantastic chord voicing. Obviously getting the right guys together in a group helps, but the ringing in some of these chords just sound otherworldly. Is it the guys, or the notes? Guess it's gotta be both to have a performance like this.
Music theory teaches about chord voicing, spacing, chord progressions, , and 4 part harmony writing. Someone educated made all the right decisions
The point of barbershop is that it is all about close harmony and dominant seventh chords. The close harmony makes the voices pop, the dominant sevenths keep the music always moving forward. :-)
The big thing is having all the pitches in perfect intonation. This allows the overtones to be heard clearly, which makes the sound much bigger.
I usually drool over BBS harmonies, and listen to them regularly, but ... and no offence intended ... I cannot get to grips with the marionette choreography. It was minimal with this group, and is much more exaggerated and prevalent these days, but BBS is about SINGING! Let the voices do at least 90% of the work, forget about the antics and excessive facial expressions.
hughvane Don't judge the quartets they are actually judged in competition on all of that. They just want to win.
hughvane It's called the "Presentation" category. It's one of the three categories that competitive barbershop singing is judged on along with "Singing" and "Music". Presentation is described by the Barbershop Harmony Society as follows: One significant goal of any art form is communication. In a barbershop performance "Presentation" is communication via the transformation of a song into an entertaining experience for an audience. The presentation of a song is the performer's gift to the audience; whose experiences, memories, and imagination transform that gift into an emotional experience. The performer's goal is to create a high level of entertainment through the performance. The means to that end are as varied as the personality, abilities and creative skills of the performers. The performance is measured in its ability to musically connect with the emotions and senses of the audience through aural, visual, and sometimes spiritual channels. So to just stand there with blank expressions on their faces and no movement would result in very low scores in this category.
cicholdebannan Thank you for the explanation, I appreciate it. First and foremost, I acknowledge the competition requirements, I just don't agree with the choreography component(s). Mine is a purely personal opinion of what I see, contrasted with what I hear. For the same reason I cannot cope with opera, although I adore classical music. In other words, I'm a listener rather than a viewer. For comparison's sake, try listening to the Chordettes, whose harmonies were at times exquisite, and they didn't need to dramatise them. Then come forward in time to Celtic Woman, who have adopted various facial expressions and head movements to - as they perceive it - emphasise what they're singing. I don't enjoy watching it, although their singing is often gorgeous. From another angle, listen to and watch The Real Group, whose voices say it all.
+hughvane I started in BBS back then and this was what the judges seemed to like, big loud chords, the presentation style etc. things have changed much and will continue changing as the years go by.
One of the best male quartets of all time, IMHO
I agree fully. They have (had, sadly) so much chemistry, vocal chemistry that seems to be magical for me.
That was Awesome! Loved it.
brilliant brilliant
Very Nice!!! Two thumbs up!!!
bookmarked, bookmarked, bookmarked... liked the tuxz 2
2:39-2:40 was the chord of the contest... Thank you for that.
And that "wow" 2:05!
Yes!!!!
Excellent performance, C+ arrangement
i've had the pleasure of learning from these great guys several times! and i can say they are the most humbling people you'll ever sing with, just a couple of guys doing what they love and doing it well! sending vibes for first this year! you got it!
I could cry. :')
Omg.... in love <3
Omg.... in love <3
