      I like this format a lot. I actually watched the premiere and came back to watch the video again.
      Used to sing bass, but nowadays I whistle instead (long story) so the tenor part is a good fit.

      Tried singing along with all of the parts, but I really can't sing except in the shower, so I'm going to stick to humming this one for the rest of the day. Thank you Julien for continuing to sing the classics. Much appreciated.

    Shivers of delight -- I learned this in college, several decades ago, and haven't heard it since. Thank you SO much for taking the trouble to divvy this into parts, carefully labeling each one. Yes, I was singing along, my eyes stinging with tears. What a wonderful antidote for "sheltering in place"!

  • @legaleagle46
    @legaleagle46 4 роки тому +3

    I learned this song in sixth grade. The boys sang the melody (lead) and the girls sang the harmony (the tenor line here). I still remember it to this day, except that I remember the last two lines of the second stanza as "Because God made you/That's why I love you." Well done, Julien -- thank you for the memory!

    This SOUND. I wish I could hear this man sing live because I am kinda in love with the sound. Such a full, well-rounded, and academic voice in all the parts! Even though there is a preferred register, all the parts have a good strong sound.
    (If the phrase "academic voice" is weird it's cause that's a direct translation from Russian. I don't know what else to call it except maybe "classical vocal"? It's the rounded sound. Sorry for the oddness most of my musical training - the little bit that I have - was in Russian)

    @viviansicherman 4 роки тому

    Thank you so much for the new song! I enjoyed both the song and the new format/opportunity to harmonize. At first, I sang the lead part (it seemed the easiest), but then I found myself harmonizing as I sang the more comfortable (for me) and fun tenor part. I'm so glad you're still able to send us new songs, even though they're fewer and far between - it's perfectly understandable at this time! Stay well.

    • @JulienNeel

      I'm sorry. You're correct. I did get I Fall In Love Too Easily in early April and then Beautiful Dreamer on April 22nd. I think this two-month home confinement has warped my perception of time and it just seemed like ages since I had heard a new song from you. Please keep singing. We all need music, especially now!

    Is this a typical Baritone range? I used to (in the mid-70s and 80 s) be able to sing Bari or Bass, but on this song, I was straining to hit the higher notes.
    (I had to go falsetto to even try the Lead part.)

    • @JulienNeel
      @JulienNeel  4 роки тому +2

      Yes, this is typical Baritone range = notes that fall inside both staves. The Tenor notes here are a bit high for a Baritone.
