      @Master of Music I'm a bass singer too but I don't think Katie is. Bass is the lowest male voice. The lowest female voice is alto, which is the more correct term for Katie's voice type

      @Master of Music didn't know it was the same for both genders as far as barbershop goes but that does make a lot of sense. Guess I'm more used to singing with choirs rather than a quartet, where altos and basses r split between genders (girls/younger boys being altos and boys being basses).

      Using Octavian rather than harmonic layering, actually works really well with this song. I think if harmonic structure was worked out I don't think it would have worked as well, as you would have lost the main lead line melody, which can often time be overshadowed by harmonics, even if there was a strong root note, and a harmonies were in the same key it still wouldn't have worked as well as the Octavian pedals.
      You are so right.

    I don't normally comment. I don't normally get sentimental and emotional, but I wanted to thank you wholeheartedly for this beautiful performance.
    My grandfather passed away this last week and we buried him this morning and this was one of only two songs that he requested be sung at the ceremony. As the congregation sang, I could only think of this performance, knowing that I played it for him before he passed and knowing how much he really loved it. There will always be a grandpa-sized hole in my heart. I have two now, one for each side. But so long as I live, listening to this will bring me peace and warmth and love that I know he would have wanted me to feel. Thank you so much for this. Words can't express how much it means.

    Sitting here listening to songs which a young member in our Church who just got back from Church camp, wanted me to hear after a typical Monday, Monday at work. He asked me if I knew a barbershop version of "How Great Thou Art". I remembered this GQ arrangement which they did this past June for our annual show. These ladies are fantastic, and very, very funny, but when they sang this song, and listening to it here again. I lean back in my chair, and the stress just melts away. I just wanted to share this song with my FB friends, and say "Thank you ladies".
