Nick Higgs The Singer 2022
This is the piece where the bass shine!!! But the piece as a whole teaches the choir how to balance vocally.
I'm a Bass and when I sing this song I'm in a singing heaven🎉
What an amazing dissection of such a brilliant performance. What I always, myself, listen for is something so basic. The triangle of sound dynamics. This is perfectly showcased in the dynamics of the Sopranos. The human ear will normally pick up the higher tones. Let me give an off-beat example. I taught color guards for high school marching bands and was also an adjudicator. It doesn’t matter how loud the band is playing, you will always hear the triangle in the pit. There is no need to beat it to death for it to be heard, the ear will easily pick up the higher frequencies. This is in the top third of the shape of a triangle. The middle third section needs to simply perform normally and let the top third lightly ride on top. The hardest for the ear to pick up is the lowest third of the shape of a triangle, the bass sounds and the lower registers. They need to play out more to get all all three parts dynamically balanced. This choral ensemble truly understands this. What I don’t understand is… why are you not a part of this ensemble!?
I’d forgotten how much I loved this piece, Nick. It floats (seemingly) effortlessly with Tenebrae - which can only be achieved through absolute mastery. Ethereal. Thank you.
It’s an incredible piece performed by an incredible ensemble! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing job and such a seamless blend. I LOVE the basses in this (one of which used to sing with the King's Singers)
They are amazing!
Thank you for the video! Great insights!
My pleasure!
molto bello🌺🌺🌺
Love your very informative commentary on the piece!
Thank you kindly!
Thank you so much for this invaluable information. I have recently begun vocal lessons but fallen in love very quickly with the mysteries of music, and to put some more into focus is a great help & joy. Thanks again!!
You're so welcome! Best of luck with your singing lessons 🎉
Could you also react to Bruckner's Os Justi? Tenebrae also has an interpretation of this piece!
Tjhis is such a stunningly beautiful work by Bruckner. Great analysis. My only glib comment is "Popcorn? You don't bring popcorn to something as sacred as a performance of this piece of music." 🙂
Unconsecrated Communion wafers I suggest, as a lay minister!
thank you for your interesting insights. fascinating!!
Amazing job! I really like this video. Thank you :)
Thank you so much!
I don't think Herr Bruckner would turn over in his grave as I understand that he was very accommodating, and revised his works very often. He is probably still working up there on his cloud (with harp in hand!)
On a serious note, I had not realised how involved professional singing is at this standard! I am now ashamed of my feeble efforts!
Blessings and peace sir
Very interesting and informative. Thanks (Pity about the adverts in the middle of....words, though).
Sorry about those - I’ll do my best to schedule them in better spots. But it’s how I monetize so I hope you don’t mind them too much!
@@nickhiggsthesinger Fair enough. You must eat.
Hey bro thanks for the reaction. Can you please please react to Australian legend John Farnham signing a Beatles cover “help” live with the Melbourne Symphony. We call him the voice down under and to me he is the greatest male vocalist of all time and he is also the best human being.
I will check it out
Thank you, good job!
I want to watch your reaction video on "Christus factus est."
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
would love to see your reaction on philippine madrigal singers i am not yours by stroope :))
Added!
You're so handsome though 😍

We are friends 🎉👋🏻
@@nickhiggsthesinger Awesome! You made my day. It's very nice to meet you 🤝
For us Catholics, the final moment of this song could not be different and never forte or fortissimo. Because the song speaks of the sacred place made by God where there is a invaluable sacrament - the tabernacle where the consecrated host lives. Immediately after Holy Communion there is a moment of kneeling prayer in silence.
On the other hand, there is a place for fortissimo in the Holy Mass. This is an example in which I believe the chorale is too restrained - Vivaldi (of course) Parts IV and V of his "Gloria". Gratias Agimus Tibi/Propter Magnam Gloria:

All fine 😀 and amazing that you bring this music to the public.
But please let me mention, that the first cord is not a perfect octave! Soprano is to sharp in relation to bass. I have been producing over hundred CD's as an artistic director and producer in Austria - I would not have accepted the first bar for the final editing. This happens in most of the recordings!!
Anyway please go on with your great work!
I'm confused : the sheet music you're showing doesn't match what the singers are doing in the beginning, at least not the basses.
