• Calvary
From since the beginning of a song got Jeron’s head shaking before they start singing buckle up we all getting happy
YESSSS!!! I was thinking the same thing!!! 😂 BUT if you already know the song you already KNOW!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Haha, Listen Just Thinking About Calvary Makes You Want To Buck & Praise Him 🙌🏾
Yessss!
Lol, right!! Jaron said, "I gonna be good" and I said, No, you're not. 😊
Let's go!
Richard Smallwood is a musical genius. His arrangements incorporates just about all genres in one song. Amazing
The immediate previous director of the Aeolians is a musical genius
Jaron: "I'm not gone get happy."
*video starts* Jaron: *shaking head vigorously clearly about to get happy*
I’m a Richard Smallwood fan...all day long! The best praise and worship music..
Me toooooo❤
I also LOVE how the choir goes from harmony to single voice, them back to harmony. This is genius composing
You know it’s Holy Week when you start hearing Vision sing Calvary 🙌🏽🙌🏽! Thanks for showcasing the great Richard Smallwood & Vision again!
And Don’t cry. Classic must sing Easter songs
Yeah ya right!
This man is one of the most iconic songwriters/composers in the gospel arena. I go in every time I hear a Richard Smallwood song.
Grief infused with hopefulness and happiness, knowing the big picture, salvation for everyone! Thank you JESUS! 🙌🏽🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
Richard and Vision ARE the standard. THE standard! This arrangement of the Spiritual 'Calvary' is a testament to God's love and our ancestors ability to put it to words and melody. The four part Chorale is one the most intricate, and beautiful voice leading examples that I have seen written on paper. Very Bach-esque. Richard's Howard University (School of Music at the time) training comes through quite clearly. It also sets Vision apart. Going from full out Hawkins to the 1971 Howard University Concert Choir under Warner Lawson and Evelyn White, tonally, is very hard to do. THIS is why you go to school for music. You don't have to stay in the classical realm but USE the training to set yourself apart.
Amen!
WORD!!!
@ Gianni Music…Let’s not forget Darin Atwater the orchestra conductor. He’s amazing as well! 💙
@@revmd621 No doubt!
You MUST do Kirk Franklin's "Don't Cry" for Easter! Richard Smallwood was on the piano for that song.
The last lead was the original lead from when they sang this on the Textures album with the Smallwood Singers. Her voice has the perfect texture for this song.
Thank you, Thank you Because Richard Smallwood and Vision don't get the flowers he deserves
I didn't know this was going to be a sermonic selection, then the word was going to go forth! PREACH PREACHER!
I’m a diehard of Richard Smallwood and Vision. This analysis is amazing. Love what you are doing Jaron.
You feel this song before they even start singing! Whew
First of all sir…the LEGEND! One of my musical heroes, Richard Smallwood! What more can be said about the maestro!? Job well done! Now…if you don’t call a text sir! SURELY!!! I was waiting for the praise break!! My GAWD!!!!
Sir…seeing this blessed me so, so much!!! Not only are you breaking down the musicality and various vocal techniques that are used in the songs that you review, but you are ultimately sharing the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ…through the vehicle of music, which was created by God Himself!! I commend you for this! Please keep up the excellent work! I pray that many more lives would continue to be reached by God’s love through watching your content!🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love this song and Jarons analysis.
If I’m not mistaken, I think that’s Richard Smallwood on the wall behind Jaron, to the left of the UA-cam award. It looks like the cover of “live in Atlanta “?
I remember the first time I heard this song when I was a kid… I knew that it was special .. and to this day..this song still sends me😩‼️😬
And don't u EVER stop!!! Thank God for your vulnerability, testimony & witness!!! Love you, my brother!!!💖
Your ability to break down and simplify the complex harmonies and vocal style choices exemplified in this soul stirring Easter Anthem, speaks well of your own excellent vocal and musical theory skills, good Sir! Awesome analysis as usual!!!
You better preach this song pastor Jeron!!! 🙌🏾
10 seconds in he’s shaking his head and I’m swaying side to side. Lordt!!! It’s the piano for me! 😭😭😭😭
That whole live recording of that album/cd/video/service was amazing! You can’t help for going in when you hear it. Sir Richard Smallwood & Vision. They don’t come like this anymore. ❤️❤️❤️
Most challenging song I have ever been asked to perform.
One of my favorites along with Total Praise. I love Maurette btw. Love this break down ❤
She came to my church, tore us up! I still remember that night!!!
Yes Total Praise is amazing
I would LOVE to see you someday analyze Nothing Without Your Love by Richard Smallwood. Lorree K. Slye's vocals are insane. I understand it may not get as many views are more popular videos though. But she is an insane technical jazz vocalist and her showcase on that song is unmatched.
I agree and she can sing first Soprano
I shared "Nothing Without Your Love" with some high level orchestra composers in Nashville the other day, and their jaws hit the floor in amazement. They immediately wanted to hear more from Smallwood, so I played "The Procession of the Levites" and they couldn't take it. It hit them so hard they had to walk out of the room to breathe. When they came back they wanted to listen closer to the the orchestration and chordal structure of "The Procession of the Levites". They said they have never heard chord voicings like the brass was playing in "The Procession of the Levites". They instantly became Smallwood fans, and influenced by his music. To God be the glory!
This song sounds like an old black spiritual sang by slaves. I love it!😊
Love to hear Jaron singing ❤️
22:00 Jaron ready to preach
By his stripes we are healed
Amen.
Everyone have a blessed Easter Sunday
Jaron, Don't apologize or explain for getting "happy"... we get it..we understand, we're right there with you! ❤
OMG!! I love me some Richard Smallwood! And I love me some you! So glad you did this one. Blessings on Blessings to you! Let the Lord use you! 💯❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎵🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾💝‼️
Jaron, I love when you end the video with a praise! Hallelujah!
The build up is just so inviting and you know it’s good when the song starts back up and doesn’t just end. These songs tell you a story. 🙌🏾🙌🏾💜
We will see if you can keep it together, however, I doubt it. This song takes me there EVERY time.
It's the way I rewatched 11:35-11:40 about 10 times. SING JARONNNNN 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This stays in my rotation this entire double CD yes the double CD ..lol ...yes I'm old but I love this album !! Especially this song !!
Jaron, I am balling my eyes out right now. Yes God! Great review as always. They def take us on a journey through what happened. Almost like a story told through the ages via dramatic song. They definitely paint a picture for you as well as convey the tone of the atmosphere.
The third vocalist, Carolene is the original Smallwood singer on the studio recording! She and Darlene, the second vocalist are from the original Smallwood Singers!
Thank you for analysing this song!!!
I love Richard and his choir. Love!
Shoutin now! Lord I thank youuuuu😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Excellent analysis!!! I love your work! ❤ You have a great voice. Please do more gospel songs.😊Chicago Mass Choir is one of my favorite.
This song is definitely one of my favorites! You were into it as soon as that piano started, love it😂🙏🏾
Man u bad! I have learned so much from you. May God grant you your heart's desire and bless your family. I love the way you broke down the other Calvary This one was awesome too 😊 Bless u . Bro
I love you for doing this 🥹my childhood 🙏🏾 this was in point 👏🏾👏🏾
A classic gospel bop!!!❤
Love the ending of your videos! You had me ready to run around my living room 🏃🏾♀️🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes he did!
I absolutely love the original Calvary recorded by The Smallwood singers on the 1987 Textures album … but this rendition is gut wrenching …… great work Jaron!!!!!!
Heron you are so talented and brilliant. I celebrate with you. You are so anointed.
My God, you are more than a music teacher. You are minister working within your gifts....and we are blessed and uplifted because of that. Thank you for analyzing this song, but even more thanks for allowing the spirit of God to use to minister in this moment. May you works ever succeed because you always put HIM first. Thank you.
Totally Awesome! Praise God

Great Reaction Richard Smallwood “ Thank You” is a good one as well. Also Karen Clark Shear performance of “Take It By Force” at Azusa.
The chord progressions here are beyond next level. AND the bombast and drama
Great analysis! Definitely one of my favorites.
I love Richard Smallwood and have sung his songs in an ensemble I was with. I love your commentary. I'm so glad I've found your channel. I so wish I could study with you but I no longer live in the US. This was a blessing!!! 🙏🏽

Richard Smallwood anything will lay you OUT ! It’s like Richard would touch the piano and the Holy Spirit would just flood the room first key Richard touched🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤❤❤
You preaching here at the end Hallelujah!!!!!🙌🏾
Praise the Lord ! Thank you for reminding and breaking down how lovely this song is!
It’s a good thing that you didn’t go to the praise break. We would have seen you shouting in this video. 😂
Praise Jesus! And what an amazing vocal representation of that awful/amazing day. Whew! Got me in my feelings for sure!
I remember when we did The Blood concert at United Baptist Church and Pastor DeAna Wansley sung the lead on this❤. I could barely sing I was so messed up
Praise you Lord!🙌🏽
Yeeeessss!!! Grew up hearing my adopted Mama singing this around Resurrection week. The tears 😭😭😭
Preach, Jaron! We need this right now.
What a breakdown and interpretation and the preaching, Sir. The Easter anthem. Thanks.
It's the fact his head was shaking before the song even started playing 😂 it already felt good to him in the spirit ❤
Subscribed to your channel. Mr. Jeron got buckled up here. You sure are a voice teacher.
...well, the doors of the church are open!
I’m so glad you covered this! I suggested it about a year ago but knew we were no where near Easter. Loved this breakdown on another Smallwood genius piece.
You betta Preach on this analysis!!! 🙌🙌
I l-o-v-e your praise!!!!!!!!!!! And you are NOT alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm thankful for Calvary! Thank you God!!!!
Jaron: "I'm not gon' get happy."
Also Jaron: "immediately gets happy"
Love Richard and all his gifts
I really hope you do Kirk franklins dont cry!
Yes indeed 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ooooh great one!
What an awesome ministry.. the music and your analysis. Between Richard Smallwood and Edwin & Walter Hawkins.. my favorites. I’m sure as I look through your presentations I will find the Hawkins music. I enjoyed, loved, and was blessed by this (and Psalms 8) I just watched. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m going to be sharing. BTW, I hope you meet Richard Smallwood one day ( if you haven’t already) Peace and blessings to you and your family.
I already LOVE the song, the music and the singing......and I can already relate to the impact of the words, their meaning and the impact of it all overall. But then I came across this thorough and precise explanation of how the vocals brought out the intensity of the emotions exuding from each vocalist.........oh, my!!!😂🤗🥰.........I'm enjoying this song even more after discovering this video just because of how he brought everything into play and I can picture the emotion and setting of Calvary with Jesus on that Cross with that hammer.
He did that for me, you, all of us. The song was already powerful but thanks again for detailing the entire arrangement. My 1st time watching this channel just now and I loved it. ❤
Jared you better sing😅. That head shake that's that Holy Ghost tap.
Never realized how blues-ey this song is.
From that first chord structure, I got happy! And then Maurette came thruuuuu whewwwww
You preaching boy!!!
I just wanted to listen to your vocal analysis, but got a word I needed! Amen!
I didn't think you was going to make it through the song lol!!!!!
The video hasn't even started. I just heard the preview and was ready to shout.
Have you done the LeAndria version of this? If not, I would love to see it.
My God...awesome!
This song is a beast! I'm happy to hear your analysis. So I'm guessing He Decided to Die is on the list for this series?
Now see…. you tried it! Lol! 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾🏃🏾♂️
I never noticed how bluesy all the leads are. Like they are blues women.
How Richard Smallwood mixes classical chorale composition, gospel lyrics and message with bluesy voices (specifically in this song) is so amazing.
Surely he died on Calvary for you and me❤❤❤❤that’s love!❤❤❤❤
I just love your videos && love for music 🎶
All of them can sing! But I've always loved Maurette Clark tone. Can you do Richard Smallwood & Vision. Angels Watching Over Me? This was when Maurette Clark first began with Richard Smallwood & Vision. Thank you for all that you do here on your page. Another good one to do would be R & B singer Kehlani on her song A piece of Mind. She first began on America's Got Talent. But she lost.
Don't be good. Let him use you 😂😂 You never fail to give me a word ❤❤
Youre the only person I want preachin and takin me to church
You betta preach!!!
