White Christmas has sold over 50,000,000 PHYSICAL units. Yeah not digital, physical... making it the best selling single in the world!
Christmas music while being a hit or miss to some, is overall universally loved and is a multi-billon dollar industry. The music tends to feel so nostalgic and beautiful, encouraging the unity of family and giving. But some of the best part of Christmas music is the history behind it.
White Christmas was a written in a different era, where things were a lot more grim - yet it managed to help provide people some sort of solace. Not only has it stood the test of time, it has also paved the way for many of the Christmas songs we listen to today, and overall, has helped define what most of us feel Christmas is about today.
Hope you enjoy me outlining the history, along with a few personal opinions to explain why this song was able make such an impact!

    I can usually distinguish a song if it's got a unique rhythm but that last part is definitely true. I don't enjoy music and it sucks that all my friends love it.

    great video thanks for covering! i know i don’t have perfect pitch, but i have always been able to identify any pitch drawing it back to the open string tuning on my guitar. thanks for helping me discover that this is different from relative pitch! 😊

    Although I appreciate that it is objectively a beautiful song it is one of my least favorite Michael Jackson songs of all time. Humanity is a disease and it did not deserve Michael Jackson or the message of Heal the World. Michael should have flipped off Humanity at the end of Earth Song. Michael you were far too good for this planet. I love you with all my heart

    Great video - relative vs perfect pitch... Agree relative pitch is good enough, the main thing is being able to create the songs we know and love. Interesting analogy with the colors, a step further 90% of all people have "perfect color" so that does not make us all legendary renaissance painters 🤔... could it be just like we learned colors through association and then all by themselves maybe the same process happens for musical notes? Maybe a missing link somewhere in music education? I know guitar notes based off the low E A strings, then find my way...while others took the time to memorize each note by rote... same for typing...is hunt and peck good enough? A lot of folks are advanced " hunt and peck" but it looks like they have taken typing classes...ha ha ha :) Anyone else type things and realize your fingers are just going and you are not thinking about where the keys are? You do it I guarantee it, BUT soon as you start thinking about it you start looking at the keyboard...mind is a funny thing...

    Hey man! Great video and I appreciated your explanation. Saw it recommended and it's a shame you're not more popular. I was always fascinated by those that can play anything by ear. It's nice to know that this can be practiced through ear training and you don't necessarily need perfect pitch. Thanks again!

    Loved this video! If I can point something you could easily improve I would ask you to tune your volume a bit higher. Just telling because I notice the sound lower than usual videos. It sounds very clear, I appreciate the sound quality, this advice is just to give you some ideia about what you may improve to make your work even better. Good job! Thanks for share your content with us!

    Perfect pitch is like speaking a language as native language. But it doesn't necessary mean you will be a great poet or actor, however a foreign speaker can practice enough the language to be able to write great poetries or interpret well monologs. It's all about work.

    After watching this video with a new perspective on singing and music etc, I highly recommend watching Qin Xianglian a 4:45min clip of the Chinese opera, singing he hits many notes for each word, similar to Indian gamakas, thought everyone who saw this video would also get a kick outta the Beijing opera Qin Xianglian

  • @samgould8567
    @samgould8567 Рік тому

    I play a few different instruments mostly by ear and have found that my perception of pitch varies quite drastically depending on the instrument. On sax, I often rely on pitch memorization because each note has a slightly different timbre. On guitar, I mostly use relative pitch to find my way around due to the consistent placement of intervals. On piano, on a good night, I often just know when notes will be correct without operating in any theoretical framework and with no muscle memory. The hard part for me is squaring these pitch-finding skills with the technique that I have. It feels as if they live in two separate parts of my brain and I can rarely bridge that gap. When it happens, it’s the best feeling in the world, though.

    The explanation of perfect pitch reminds me of my great-grandfather. He wasn’t a musician, but could tell by the pitch of the whistle which line the trains running past our house were from. My father (his grandson) had excellent pitch memory until he was in his 60’s. I’m not sure where mine fits in. I can recognize a note within half a step by how it “feels” to play it on my instrument.

    As someone with perfect pitch, it's very helpful for composition cause I can hear music in my head and instantly write it down without needing an instrument, but that can also be done with good relative pitch. To be honest, in general it's pretty damn useless. Having said that though, I wouldn't give it up for anything cause it's just a part of how I experience music

    So if someone didn't have perfect pitch, but had memorised a particular note and could figure out any other note from that memorised note, what would that be called? It's not perfect pitch per-say, neither is it really relative

    • @beautyofmusic2022
      @beautyofmusic2022 Рік тому

      I would say that's just using pitch memory with relative pitch
