    That chord at 0:52-0:58 is so frigging solid you could build a house on it. Goosebumps every time I hear that intro. Every time I watch this entire performance, I shake my head and guffaw out an expletive when it finishes. Unbelievable.

    That chord change from :49-:53 is insanity. I just burst out laughing when I saw that, from the sheer joy of it - especially after all the changes leading into it.

I am teaching 4 choirs this year in my school and I guarantee this is going to be at the top of my list to show them about sound and performance.

  • @Hector95100
    @Hector95100 9 років тому +4

    OH MY GAWD THE CHORDS IN THE INTRO HOLY CRAP.That augmented 6 chord at 4:11 is GOLD (i believe its an It+6)

    • @Paul_K_
      @Paul_K_ 9 років тому +2

      ***** It's just a 7th chord with a weird voicing. It's a G7 (in the key of B major) with the bass on the 3rd, baritone on the 7th a tritone above, the lead on the root a step above that, and the tenor on the 5th a 5th above the lead.

    • @Hector95100
      @Hector95100 9 років тому

      .....that's an augmented 6 chord. Ger+6 to be specific. The only difference between It+6 chord and Ger+6 is one note. Ger+6 in the key of B is G7.... It+6 in the key of B is G7 without the 5th (D). So yeah. Still an Augmented 6.

    • @jcirmsa
      @jcirmsa 9 років тому +1

      ***** If it helps, the chord is written B, E#, G, D in the key of B. Then it just resolves to a B chord with the Baritones jumping up to the B octave and the leads sliding down a half note. That's what it is in the sheet music, I don't know enough about theory to say what that is. I just know it was one of my favorite chords to sing!

    @TRPDDB hang on there. they weren't all "old" songs then, and songs had a longer shelf life than now, if only because it took longer for them to become as widely known. the concept is 4-part close harmony, unit sound, and arrangements (on paper or spontaneous, ie: woodshedding), with some chords that ring - you can try applying it to songs old and new. I'm trying to get some woodshedding going during the Quartets segment of our Tuesday night chorus rehearsals. Woodshedding is way cool.

    Guys....just amazing. When working on choreography....our coaches always used to say, "if I close my eyes....I want it to sound like you aren't doing choreography." Well, you pulled it off. Amazingly brilliant. Look forward to more of that in the future.

  • @thelonearranger1

    To edwards21416 You can bet there are guys in this chorus who were public school boys. The Barbershop Harmony Society it loaded with boys and men from every walk of life. There isn't a chorus in the society who wouldn't welcome a young singer from any school with open arms. What you're seeing here is the cream of the cream of the crop. These guys got here by virtue of ability and above all hard work and dedication. But anyone who loves singing and performing can find a place in the society.

  • @supersingerevan
    @supersingerevan 13 років тому

    @Protomagi Again, there are different schools of thought on the subject, but my professors teach that someone with a practiced falsetto is called male alto or soprano, or a "falsettist", and countertenors are the men with vocal abnormalities.

    @edwards21416 I don't have the hard numbers, but seeing as I went to public school and sing in Westminster I can attest that at least one of us didn't go to private school. In fact, most of us went to public school. That's how we recruited each other...by calling up our friends from high school or college, etc...

    @Jackman24601 12 років тому

    Your 'falsettist' may use their falsetto, but so does a countertenor, a male soprano or treble (as has been noted before) use their natural 'full voice' to sing soprano and alto parts. Check out ensembles like Chanticleer, or The Sixteen, or the King's Singers, their countertenors use falsetto. Barbershop tenors are like this too, they sing most of the part in their full- or head-voice, but use falsetto to supplement the upper register.

    @TenorJOE I do, but that still doesn't say I'm incorrect to say the international big-five don't sing on basically the same level. That can vary 6 points on a day to day basis, so everyone must have been in pique condition. How dry the air is, how well you warmed up and hydrated, and how correctly you're voiced on any given day can change. Still, I wanna see you guys beat MOH before I say you're THEE best. They haven't lost since their streak started, unlike VM.

    @BlackLotus1786 Yup. Anyone who says that music can teach him/her nothing is a fool. All music can teach you a new skill. Classical music requires a lot of use of the soft palette and operatic production while jazz can focus the front. Asian throat singing makes you really fine-tune your resonant space. All of this together can turn a vocalist into a flexible machine. The last one doesn't apply to these guys, but it helped me.

    @supersingerevan You may be confusing a countertenor with a male alto or soprano...or even a castrato (I certainly hope not). Countertenors generally do not have any vocal abnormalities, and simply have a practiced and reinforced falsetto via their 'chest voice.' If you're referring to Oberlin, he's akin to a male soprano I mentioned above, or someone like Maniaci, whose larynx never fully developed.
