You Will Be Found has moved me like no other musical anthem.
Bui Doi from Miss Saigon
Without a doubt, pretty much anything from Come From Away does it for me. Prayer is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written IMO, both from a harmony perspective and the meaning behind it.
"Shabbat Prayer" from "Fiddler On The Roof". Makes me cry every time I hear it.
I adore the entire "Les Miserables" soundtrack, but "One Day More" gives me chills every time I hear it, and I try, and usually fail, to sing every single harmony! 😅
It’s so hard not to want to try! It’s the moment the whole show reaches that fever pitch and everybody wants to be part of it!
Mine is empty chairs at empty tables! 😁
Listen to “Demain” that is the original version from the 1980 French Version
Empty chairs at empty tables Les Mis gives me chills every time. Heck that whole production gives me chills.
if we're talking harmonies, "Turning, Turning" just kills me
I saw it on Broadway and I think I cried my way through most of it. In the early 90s Empty Tables was the elegy of the AIDS epidemic and even the opening bars catch in my chest.
Come From Away FINALLY GETTING THE BIG LOVE IT RICHLY DESERVES!!!!
ABSOLUTELY! LOVE COME FROM AWAY!!!
Said the same thing. COME FROM AWAY SHOULD OF WON THE BEST MUSICAL TONY IN 2017
It’s actual pandering trash and you should feel bad for liking it. For real.
@@solarmaru49 explain? How is it pandering?
@@solarmaru49 have you even seen it?
“Sunday” sung in honor of Sondheim’s memory by an entire choir of Broadway cast members gets me every time.
Ohhhhhh yes I occasionally go back to that video
And the emotional introduction by LMM. I can usually hold it together until we get to 'parasols.'
The first time I heard “Will I?” on some Rent production in my country, I cried. Especially because there was also the on screen subtitle. Reading the lyrics just hits you hard
Excellent pick for #1!! The multiple languages coming together in prayer is beautiful.
The Bells of Notre Dame from The Hunchback of Notre Dame gives me CHILLS because of how amazing the harmonies are.
If it had been given the chance on Broadway, it would've definitely been on this list
Same here! Especially the reprise/finale version, it is beautifully arranged
Come From Away the most underrated musical and deserves so much love. I’d say “38 Planes (Reprise)/Somewhere In the Middle of Nowhere” would be my pick for the harmonies
Come From Away seems like such a strange premise to do a musical about and yet...it works. Not only does it work but it works pretty spectacularly.
"For Good" from Wicked not even making the Honorable Mention?? Shocking!
Sees Ramin in the thumbnail…automatically clicks and thumbs up
Of course...it simply must be done. 😀
The incomparable Ramin. No better Phantom.
I just shouted yay and proceeded to click
The entire score of Come From Away should be on this list. Nice to see this brilliant show getting some love
The West Side Story harmony has been giving me chills since it came out in the 1960s..love!
Thank you for putting “Prayer” at number one! It’s one of the songs in Come From Away that every time I hear it I get tears in my eyes
Your #1 pick is spot on.
I was about throw hands until I saw your #1. I knew it had to be there somewhere, and when it didn't even get an honorable mention, I was ... perturbed, shall we say.
It is _such_ a spine tingler, and in context of the story, the live production version I was lucky enough to see was just awesome. So glad it got the recognition. ❤
Another one I'd have liked to see here, even though it is only a very simple, two part harmony, is "For Good" from _Wicked._
Will I
The song is heartbreaking, especially when the people who are dying or surviving from HIV/AIDS 😢😢😢😢😢
"Make our Garden Grow" from Candide
"Impossible Dream - Reprise" - Man of La Mancha
"Guenevere" from Camelot
I get it may not be the most spectacular song, but “Once and For All” in Newsies gets me every single damn time! When they come into “There’s change coming once and for all” in perfect harmony, CHILLS!
What about “ By my Side” from GodSpell?
beautiful for sure
Do You Hear the People Sing? is just the epitome of chills for me.
And as I was raised on a capella music in church, I am game for just about any music that fits that genre.
The final minute and a half of "Esmeralda" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame Act I is like. Huge.
tenors working overtime 🙏
"Prima Donna" from Phantom; "Lily's Eyes" from Secret Garden; “Too Much For One Heart” from Miss Saigon; "Ragtime" from Ragtime; "Into the Fire" from the Scarlet Pimpernel.
Lily's Eyes 😭
In his eyes from Jekkyl and Hyde ❤
@@OlaOla-ct4nu Jekyll and Hyde has SO many songs with great harmonies. I'd also add "His Work and Nothing More", "Facade", and "Take Me As I Am"
Secret Garden and, Scarlet Pimpernel - absolutely.... and "Heart," from Damn Yankees
most of the music from Phantom and Secret Garden are like that, to me. but it's impossible to list all the shows that would fit .... just so many
Finale B from Rent ALWAYS brings me to tears.
same
Les Mis blows me away every time. Got to take the hubs and 14yo son last month and they both LOVED it! ❤
"On My Own" and "Bring Him Home" always make me ugly sob lol
Miss Saigon is overlooked again. Bui Doi should be on this list. Miss Saigon should be on many other musical lists but seems to always be overlooked or MsMojo and Mojo don't like the play.
Heck yes
I had a feeling something from Come From Away was going to be #1. And as soon as Prayer started, so did the tears.
"Will I" from Rent will always give me chills and bring me to tears. The desperation and loss of hope. Loneliness. Then with the uplifting ending hope returns.
I feel like "I Heard Someone Crying" from The Secret Garden should have been included in this list. It sadly gets left out of a lot of videos about musicals on this channel.
Honestly - Lily’s Eyes ALWAYS gets me 💜
Another excellent choice.
I was not expecting come from away as #1, I’m seeing the show, and the heading to Canada and Newfoundland for my graduation gift from my parents.
You convince me. Time to listen to Come from away another time. And cry in 7 independent places...
I think the pro shot is still available on Apple TV.
I’m so happy “Once and For All” made it on this list, even in honorable mentions. It still gives me chills each time I hear it, even now.
"Seize the Day" and "Once and For All" I could listen to over and over and over for the rest of my life and be happy. SO gorgeous!
Come From Away is amazing, from the opening beat to the closing screech. The part that always gives me goosebumps is "somewhere in the middle of nowhere." I will turn that song on just to soak up the harmonies.
I’m a simple woman… I see Ramin I click
But no Ramin...
Literally cannot listen to Prayer without crying. Cesar Samayoa who played Ali was incredible and being Muslim myself it really hit hard.
"Home" from Beetlejuice. Lydia singing out for her mother, begging not to give up hope on her dead mother even standing in the Abyss of the Afterlife...it just leaves me drained after taking me on an emotional ride. And it's beautiful, a child in desperate need growing strong on the memories as the song climaxes.
Home is a solo. It doesn’t have harmonies. The ‘has’ in the background isn’t really a harmony.
The Les Mis moment 'take my hand, and lead me to salvation' with Leah Salonga, chills every single time.
I adore that musical, and have many favorite songs. But that one moment is just an ear-gasm.
Lea Salonga and Ruthie Henshall's voices blended so beautifully in that version. I agree, it's such a beautiful harmony ❤
"Morning Glow" from "Pippin" . Those harmonies still give me the chills.
YES! so gorgeous
Almost everything on this list is modern (even West Side had a recent remake). I would include "Sunrise Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof
"Anatevka" haunts me every time.
Come from away!!!!
Ragtime. First time I remember getting chills while seeing a show and knew Broadway was and will always be my passion. But everything else on the list I agree with.
Who I’d Be from Shrek the Musical. It never fails to give me chills.
A good list with some of my faves in there. Though I reckon All Good Gifts and By My Side from Godspell, with their stunning harmonies, should rate a mention.
I saw this on Broadway... it was stunning.... Mandy and Bernadette...
Definitely the Fates in Hadestown! Just saw it last week and their “who are you” in Wait for Me most certainly gave me chills!
The key change in Once and For All is just *chef's kiss*
"Ragtime" has one gorgeous harmonic moment after another as in "On The Wheels of a Dream" but when the entire ensemble sings the title song from the show, it is theater magic.
One Day More is far more powerful then Do you hear the people sing. It builds perfectly.
"Make Our Garden Grow" from 'Candide'
I just teared up thinking about that harmony
Absolutely. Highlight of ‘Maestro’
Wicked needed an honorable mention at least 😮
K, how is "I Know It's Today" from Shrek: The Musical not on this list... it slays me EVERY TIME!
Any Rent song is heart wrenching ❤ Love every single song!
Who lives who dies who tells your story. Happy wednesday afternoon, Emily. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.
I'm so glad you talked about the show Aida, it is a very good musical that is not talked about very often.
What gives me chills are Hamilton and Fly by Night. From Hamilton it’s Quiet Uptown, Dear Theodosia, One Last Time and Who Lives Who Dies Who Tell Your Story makes me cry 😭
You did a great job! I'd consider Shrek-- "Who I'd Be"; Wicked, "What is this Feeling"; Legally Blonde, "Omigod You Guys"; Bye Bye Birdie, "Ed Sullivan "
I was going to mention "who I'd be" from Shrek. That ending note always gives me chills.
Absolutely LOVE the harmony in "What is this Feeling" ...but I wouldn't say it gives me chills.
Well, anything sung by Ramin Karimloo or Philip Quast does it for me.
Sorry, but Le Mis is by far No 1.
Tonight Quintet.really great. LEONARD BERNSTEIN. STEPHEN SONDHEIM
Ok all phenomenal songs, but I wanted to see "By My Side" from Godspell...
Very surprised 'The Color Purple' starring Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson, and Danielle Brooks didn't make the list.
Ms Mojo hasn't ever heard the Color Purple reprise!
Will I from Rent always gives me chills. The amount of layers to the song as well as the haunting melody are incredible.
I agree with you!
In my opinion, EVERY brilliant musical has a number like this.
I am a TRUE Broadway fanatic! I love how guys keep coming up with interesting topics. I would have NEVER thought of "best harmonies" and I LOVED THIS!!!! Thank you!
I really wish "Shadowland" was included in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King"! Beyonce would've won an incredible job singing it! Also, "Aida" is a great, underrated Disney musical that's way overdue for a film adaptation!
A Step Too Far is great, but Dance of the Robe has some insane 6-part harmonies that definitely should have earned it a spot on this list. I completely agree that it’s overdue for an adaptation!
@@joshkoplow4148 I agree that "Dance of the Robe" is an excellent musical number!
Another vote for Dance of the Robe
I love that Fun Home was in this.
I love your picks, and the ones I'm actually familiar with absolutely qualify. However, as a Stephen Sondheim fan, and an artist, I think Sunday is the best thing he ever wrote. He captures that moment so perfectly! No matter how many times I hear it (and especially see it!) I'm absolutely wrecked every time.
I see Ramin Karimloo in the thumbnail I click the video... and then get disappointed when he doesn't appear in the video :(
This list was definitely skewed to more recent shows. I was confident that "Make Our Garden Grow" was an obvious no. 1, only to find it ignored.
Also, the harmonies in "We'll Catch Up Some Other Time" from "On the Town" are exquisite, tho not as loud as the choices on this list.
The opening of "Ragtime" and the ensemble "Till We Reach That Day" are grand (and "Reach That Day" is also heartbreaking).
come from away absoulutely deserved the top spot. also the fates harmonies are always so good
My particular song from a musical that isn’t a harmony but a solo, is “Bring Him Home” from “Les Miserables”. I just wept uncontrollably when this is being sung. The older I get the more it resonates.
At the ballet not being mentioned 😢breaks my heart
the I love you song from spelling bee for sure
In Lily’s Eyes from Secret Garden gets me every time!
I don't know if it can compete with the full ensemble numbers, but On the Willows from Godspell is just stunning and chill-worthy.
Top 10 Broadway Songs with Harmonies, featuring "Will I?" from Rent that has the entire cast singing the same melody, with no harmonies. Yeah it's layered in a round, but everyone is singing the same melody line. That's not a harmony.
The final "Dream the Impossible Dream" from "Man of La Mancha"
The I love you song from the 25th annual Putnam counting spelling bee
Do not forget The God's Love Nubia from Aida and Children of Eden from Children of Eden 🥰
Sunday is stunningly beautiful
It's "Drink with me", from Les Mis for me.. enough said
The last ten seconds of this song are all I need ""Raise a Little Hell (Reprise)"- Bonnie and Clyde
'Flying away' is my favourite musicals song. I love 'Fun Home' so much
The Song from a Summer Day from "The Most Happy Fella" is one the best choral harmonies in Broadway song. It does not get much recognition. "My Fair Lady" eclipsed "The Most Happy Fella" in popularity. And This Is My Beloved from "Kismet" is exquisite. I wish you had gone further back in time. Perhaps you should devote a section to 20 Exquisite Moments from the Golden Age of Broadway and include those and others.
Make Our Garden Grow from Candide
Til We Reach That Day from Ragtime
The Gods Love Nubia from Aida
Or Dance of the Robe from Aida
@habeashumor9814 maybe not for harmonies but for impossible belting? Heather is unbeatable
The Fates in Hadestown are a standout in the show.
No. There is only one the real number 1 when it comes to harmonies. Nothing has ever went above that. One Day More, from Les Mis. There is literally no excuse as to why that wasn't number 1. It's not even a question of opinion.
Maybe Because there are better musicals then les mis
@@universe1822 Fact. It's not the best musical out there. But in case of harmonies, there is no trumping One Day More.
The most emotional moments in shows are done with great harmonies.
Les Miserables, do you hear the people sing? Is it for me.
I choose Carmina Buran by Carl Orff. All those praised harmonies can be found in that music. And I dare say the composers drew from it, if unconciously, still, there it is. Now, this is not considered to be a broadway musical but an operatic concert. But I have seen a theatrical version of it when I was a child in the sixties in Munich and sometimes a new production like that evolves from the depths of musical eruptions all over the world. There even is a film from the seventies, a TV production by the BR, Bayerischer Rundfunk, the Bavarian "BBC"
Go look for yourself, you can find the best harmonies and rythms there. All that being told, I, too, love all those musicals you mentioned, having seen many of them live or at least own the DVD.
Nevertheless....
Leaving "Stand Up' from Harriet off of this list is criminal.
You should have included Yorktown from Hamilton. I always get chills when I hear it.
Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story from Hamilton
Time echoes throughout the ensemble... Eliza misses Alexander after being apart from him by 50 years and when her time is up, he's right there waiting for her and they're together at last
Requiem from Dear Evan Hansen has the most beautiful harmony I've ever heard!
Aida better be in here
My Top 4
1. Sunday
2. Do You Hear the People Sing (Reprise)
3. Prayer
4. Who Lives Who Dies...
Not technically Broadway? But if you appreciate great harmonies, you should listen to the musical 35MM!
Hell yes!
Seasons of Love is my favorite ❤
“Pretty Women”?
not a single song from the musical Harmony. i mean it's literally called Harmony. it's the most underrated musical I've ever known probably
Finally! Someone who appreciates that show as much as I do!
I am a total sucker for close harmonies and the cast album for that show has a bunch of them. Especially Stars in the Night.
Come From Away! For harmony, Prayer is amazing. And pretty much anything from Les Mis…
These harmonies are pure magic, giving me goosebumps every time!
