We get so enamored with the tag of this one that we lose count too. ;) Thanks for doing this, Tara!!
Heck yeah! So talented
So glad to see these 2 channels in touch- so many singers love you guys!!!
He held that A4 for about 20 seconds, absolutely nuts!!!
It's insane. The amount of control and lung capacity it requires is INSANE
I counted 24 seconds!!!!!
That man has been known to hold one note for 54 seconds! Lord knows where the air comes from.
its about 11-12 bars from my counting.
Did the tenor just shift from a B4 to a C#5 in his last note
And the bass descends to A2
Just because the tenor climbed up to hit the C#5 it turned the minor into a major chord
What a great arrangement
The arrangements in barbershop are amazing. When I first came over from classical/opera it was like musical culture shock. Tenor and lead singing off the treble and bari and bass off the bass clef. The first chart I was handed showed the leads going to B5 and tenors to C5. I was lead and I sang in full voice out of habit and not knowing it was supposed to be falsetto. Everyone stopped and just stared at me 😂 Anyway the dissonance at the top was resolved by the two lower parts. It’s easy music, but can be messed up if you don’t watch dynamics.
@@fezzik7619 Not just the dynamics but the tuning of the chords. The baritone in particular must tune to a 64th of a tone to make the chords ring. I was singing barbershop 46 years ago when The Barbershop Harmony Society was still going by the moniker "The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Singing in America".
@@fezzik7619 As for falsetto, if you are in a chorus, then yes that note would need to be falsetto. However, in a quartet, if you have a real contra tenor, if you can sing full voice, that is what you do. Years ago I was lucky enough to be in a quartet with three other crooners. That was something. All 4 of us were powerful singers with many years of experience, so even when crooning the resultant notes were there. Quite something
Yes! Barely a bass though, he’s more a baritone. But still great.
The "fuax" ending hold for the tenor was 18 seconds, the very end was 22 seconds! AMAZING!! Right?
I tried JUST the held note at home and while I DID get it I was panting by the end of it and not even doing the WHOLE thing it's mildly insane.
The first and "faux" end is manageable for casual singers who have maybe learned a bit in vocals, the REAL end was just INSANE!!!!!
@@GamingPianist7 I know! Even with training and trying to remember every technique in the book it's just a LOT to do, to say nothing of stage presence, performance, possible nerves. Peak of the craft, really.
@@unamericano Yes, absolutely true!
Guys, in Barbershop an 18 second note is far from unusual. I have seen 30 second notes. Breath control and BIG lungs are required. By the way, the part after the false ending is called a Tag. It is very normal for the lead, most of the time, to have to hold that note while the other 3 parts rotate around and into the final resolve. If you listen VERY carefully with really good headphones you will hear that note get tuned and retuned as the chords move. That is what keeps the chords alive and what will give the resultant notes way up in the Gods. Unfortunately the angels singing does not get picked up be mics.
20 seconds. They were tremendous - even from behind them, where I was standing...
Agreed with the 20 seconds, I pulled out a stopwatch to get a time
Wow what I wouldn't give to be there at that momentous occasion, listening to them live!
Standing behind them means you're in the AIC, right? Which quartet are you from?
@@mvirtue Based on the YT name, my guess is Hank Brandt, the lead from Grandma's Boys (1979 champions). www.barbershopwiki.com/wiki/Grandma%27s_Boys
@@mferguson2334 That's the quartet where Don Barnwick was the tenor, right? Lol
I saw this performance live. Absolutely astounding. Also, they are singing through their accents as they are Swedish so it may be why the vowels are not as shaped as you might prefer, but was clearly deliberately chosen to be like that too, to get their vowels to match and ring as a group.
Ringmasters are so, so good in this recording, but in person they were so unbelievably AMAZING that I couldn't even applaud after they sang this. I just sat in mute amazement!
I had the opportunity to sing tags with 3 of the members (the bass was back home in Sweden) a number of years ago when they swung by my chorus' rehearsal and it's still one of my fondest memories in music. So special to have even shared that short 30 seconds with them.
The first non US quartet to win the World Championships (aka International). Dunno if you know but these guys are Swedish.
I was surprised when I first watched a video of them practicing and I heard an accent. They do a good job of singing with American vowel sounds.
Actually, RealTime won in 2005, 7 years before Ringmasters. RealTime is a Canadian quartet, and is non-US.
@@hudmaster911, that I did not know. Thanks for that.
@@BlackCat0315 they are the first affiliate champs. Real Time were actual BHS members.
Realtime was partially Canadian not all of them were born outside of the United States but ringmaster were technically the first outside quartet to win international followed by musical island Boys 2014 champions
I got to see this performance dead center of the venue in Nashville. And it was the craziest thing we had heard at the time, especially for barbershop. Incredible. Long long long standing ovation for it. Those Swedes, man. They're just amazingly insane at singing in general lol
The gold on their chest shows that they were the International winners of the International Barbershop Quartet Society's competition. They are indeed incredible. Thanks for your reaction to them.
They were so lock ed in tune at that chord at 7:50ish that the overtones were ringing through my inexpensive computer speakers! I had to listen to it again on my headphones to take it all in. What an amazing performance
I am not kidding I have listen to this about 300 times so far. At the very end of the song he adds that extremely high note and it always amazes me how beautifully they are in sync on that final 20 second note.
That last high note was from the tenor on the far right. The second to last note ( penultimate ) was a B then the resolution to a D flat. That penultimate note created a lot of tension in the chords until he changed to the D flat. Sitting in the audience I didnt know what was more amazing, the fake ending ( tag ), or the actual ending.
How cool to have an actual professional doing this! Your evaluation was awesome and I am sad that so few people realize the difficulty and can actually get the full chills experience. So many would not even know the quality of what they are hearing. Seeing your face at all the best musical moments was frankly exciting! I wish every human could get the feelings music like this provides!
Tara, Thank you, I've waited a long time to see you react to this and was not disappointed.. What might blow your mind (after all the compliments on the vowel production) is that English is their second or third language. They are from Stockholm Sweden!
Oh my goodness! Just now watching this. I literally shed a tear watching this.
This years Gold Medalists Signature Quartet's Performance of "Dance with My Father Again"
Also Vocal Spectrum's "Aladdin Medley"
Tim Waurick, Vocal Spectrum's Tenor , routinely holds notes into the high 20s low 30s!!
The Ringmasters are the 2012 ""International"" Barbershop Quartet Champions (one of the men does not speak English, but learns each song in English to match voices). This is an original American music art form. Study it to know it and you'll understand more of why things are sung the way they are.
They all speak english :p
@@pwnas9090 I was about to say...if this is a Swedish group then they can definitely speak English lol
Yes! At last! I've been waiting for this reaction for so long, and it was absolutely worth the wait. My heart is racing a million beats per minute from watching you have the same reaction of joy and euphoria at perfectly executed close harmonies. Time to re-watch it 10 times. Then come back and re-watch your reaction 10 times.
Barbershop for life.
This is awesome Tara. I knew you would be impressed and enjoy the artistry and performance of Ringmasters. Your review brought out even more than I expected. I have shared this with everyone across Social Media and at our Barbershop Harmony Society to get shared. With over 30K singers worldwide it is a new audience to appreciate what you do.
PS Tara, Ashley Espinoza of Voctave actually sings in a women's Sweet Adeline quartet called Windsor. www.windsorquartet.com/ You would rock a quartet. And now our society has opened up membership to every one in a change of focus called Everyone in Harmony. We are adding a lot of mixed group singing as well.
19 year old woman who sings barbershop here!!! Join a Sweet Adelines quartet it’s the best thing in the whole world!!!💜💜
Goodness gracious! This made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. These guys are phenomenal!
That Tenor 2 is absolutely world class outstanding.
technically called a lead in barbershop, but yes, he is! Plenty more of stuff with him in it on youtube!
Tenor, lead, baritone, bass are the barbershop designations. Lead tends to get most of the melody, but as you can see in this arrangement not always. When a singer holds a fermatta at the end in barbershop it’s called “posting”. There was a lot of specific terminology I had to learn when I came from the classical/opera world to sing barbershop. It’s a lot of fun
The last time I cheered and laughed and punched the air in appreciation after a vocal performance was for Anthony Warlow's long note in Phantom of the Opera on stage.
I know just how you feel about harmonies, Tara!! I used to drive my sisters crazy by creating a different harmony for 'Happy Birthday' at each and every birthday party... Now they ask me to provide the harmony when we get to sing together ;)
Oh wow, I haven't seen this performance in a while! So glad you reacted to them. Like me, they're also Swedish and I can't help but be proud of their success. All four of them studied at two of our most prestigious music schools (junior high and upper secondary) and it shows in their hard work and talent.
There is a female group it’s called Sweet Adelines they have big choruses quartets And they are fantastic
I'm the same, I live for crunchy chords and I love singing the harmony parts!
WOW WOW WOW !!!!! SO impressed that I'm shedding tears!!!!! This was magnificence personified!!!!!
OK, here's a quick introduction, from left to right:
Emanuel Roll - Baritone (bari for short)
Martin Wahlgren - Bass (and one of the best at that) (the one with the hair.)
Jakob Stenberg - Lead and Tenor (sang lead here, but was the group tenor when they won)
Rasmus Krigström - Tenor and Lead (switched places with Jakob)
Jakob Stenberg is also known by many as 'Postmaster General' also known as the man with three lungs. His record post. Is 52 seconds.
they won in 2012 and this was the 'Association of International Champions' show.
This is easily in my top 3 favorite youtube videos. Thanks for reacting to it!
Replicating the singing in this video is how I developed my current breath support. Barbershop is amazing.
I especially appreciated your acknowledgement (twice, I think) of Aaron Dale's brilliant (my words) arrangement.
I am so excited you did a barbershop reaction!!!! That was truly ridonculous 😜😁
Pausing myself at 7:50 - that moment is, I think, the first time I've ever heard a true "fifth note". Usually I don't hear it - or don't notice it - and this moment blew me away. I could distinctly hear the four notes from each singer, _and_ the fifth note all coming together.
I've listened to this song many many times and that false tag always gets me.
Overtones are great when vowels are sung the same way. We use to call the overtone a "Charlie" a long time ago.
@@rayk998 Overtones? Think you're talking about something different than I am.
@@maisiesummers42 What note are you hearing?
@@rayk998 I am hearing the "fifth" note or fifth voice - the virtual note created by all four voices coming together.
As I understand it, an "overtone" is when a singer makes two separate notes simultaneously, with the overtone being a high falsetto or whistle.
@@maisiesummers42 We always called it an overtone. Check out Max Q, a barbershop quartet.
EJ Cardona held his note on Oh Come All Ye Faithful for 25 seconds and the last 11 seconds of that went up to a higher note. Both very impressive.
Thank you Tara, for reacting to this video!!!!
Great video! Awesome to see your reaction. Ringmasters are the 2012 Barbershop Harmony Society International Quartet Champions. Jakob (lead, third from left) has gone on record easily holding a note up to 52 seconds. The Barbershop Harmony Society, where this and many other quartets and choruses are based is actually open to both men and women! Our 2020 International convention is in Los Angeles from June 30th-July 4th, so if you're wanting to experience the best of the best live, there's the place to be. Thanks for the vid, really fun to watch!
Ethan's YT profile is still the same lmao - Nico B.
@@vanish129 Never change your image.
Ever since i started watching Tara's videos (and signing up for Singsmarter) I have been suggesting this with every video she posts. Its a well deserved reaction. Barbershoppers can learn a lot from her instruction.
What Part(s) Do You Sing?
@@romankingbhs I am a lead.
HOLY FFFFFFF THAT ENDING
Hunchback is the best Disney score. No one can convince me otherwise.
I just want to say thank you for making the videos that you do! This year I have been getting sick a lot so my voice has had to take rest periods but when I can't sing, I watch your videos and it's like osmosis or something because I take as much info in and apply it when I am better. I have improved so much this year despite the times off so THANK YOU!
So excited that you did this one! I've been hoping for it! They are amazing! Loved the video reaction, too!
Girls barbershop is called “Sweet Adelines”! They have quarters and choruses all over the place.
I’m a Sweet Adeline! Are you with a chorus?
Wish you talked more about why it was "ridonkulous." I like hearing other people talking about it because I've been showing it to people and explaining why it's awesome for 2+ years.
Ya!!! You have finally reacted to the ringmasters!! I have waited so long for you to watch and react to this!!! Thank you!!
Well, now that you did Ringmasters, I have to suggest some more Barbershop!
Instant Classic - You Gotta Change Parts (I like the ones from 2016 and 2019 the most), Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Main Street - Razzle Dazzle, I've Got a Dream - their lead is Tony DeRosa from Voctave and their harmonies are amazing.
Newfangled Four - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, All Star, Hello My Baby Through the Years, Bananaphone (the more recent one)
Signature - Somebody to Love
Vocal Spectrum - Aladdin Medley
Very glad to see this! Ringmasters are from Sweden and won the International Quartet Championship of the Barbershop Harmony Society. As a barbershop quartet nerd myself, this is much appreciated, indeed. 👍
(P.S. If you're wanting to hear a Female Barbershop Quartet, I recommend LoveNotes.)
Seconded, as well as ClassRing and GQ
My Grandpa sang Barber Shop Quartet and played trumpet 🎺 too.
He was born in 1900.
Dude on the left and dude on the right (who also does their arrangements) are part of Zero8 who are incredible
The speak-singing tip is so good
I feel like Tara is all of us the first time we heard this. :) amazing!
That disney movie is one of the most underrated ones ever!!!! Amazing music by Alan Menken!
Truly the pinnacle of Barbershop. Was absolutely stunned when I first saw it, just like you, and continue to be amazed whenever I see it.
Mainstreet would be a great reaction ... Tony DeRosa from Voctave is a part of this Barbershop group.
This!!
Yes!!!
Don't forget Tony DeRosa was in Keepsake, Platinum, Max Q, and of course Mainstreet winning a gold with each quartet.
Love to see you reacting to Ringmasters! As a young female barbershopper, I love watching your videos for technique + entertainment.
So in terms of female barbershop, two all-female quartets actually placed in top 10 in I believe, 2022? They are astounding and absolutely worth a listen. GQ and The Ladies, I believe.
I was at that very performance. It was indeed spectacular!
That guy’s got an extra set of lungs somewhere in that suit. 20 seconds of full bore without so much as a single waver of the note. Good lord man...
I’ve heard notes held for that length of time before but it’s never any less amazing to hear and see it. What an excellent performance. I loves me some barbershop. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure, I admit.
Wow...they can really sing...they make it look easy.
Hey Tara. I sing in the female barbershop group (which Ringmasters is the male part of)... the organization is called Sweet Adelines and it's all around the world, mainly in USA. I'm sure there's a Chorous near you who'd love you to sing with them weekly! I'm in the Greater Auckland Chorous in New Zealand.
I counted to 24 for his note. Maybe I counted a little fast as was so happy! 😂
Yesyesyesyesyes! ^_^
Thank you so much for doing this review Tara-! I'll take this as an early christmas present :)
As some have said, there are female chapters like the Sweet Adelines you can check out i fyou want to join.
Nothing like being in the room for performances like these- spine tingles for days...
Merry Christmas!
Edit: Spelling
I sing baritone in barbershop. I prefer it over lead any day. I do love Harmony as well!! Check out Harmony Inc or Sweet Adelines International, and Barbershop Harmony Society, which is the organization Ringmasters is part of, just allowed women to join the organization as well as full fledge members, which also allows them to compete! For female quartets, check out GQ. They're the first quartet that got me into barbershop!
And Frenzy! Can’t forget Nikki!
I am so happy you are reacting to Barbershop, I have been waiting for this for soooooo long! Please do more!
I'm glad you did a reaction to this performance. They were really terrific.
This is the first reaction video of this kind I've watched where the person reacting actually had something to say. I tend to get really annoyed with reaction videos for taking other people's content and adding very little to it, but you actually had helpful insight to share. Very cool!
If you like that, try GQ quartets "I'm into something Good/Happy Together" they are a phenomenal Womens barbershop quartet.
Agreed! Lol now I'm desperate for her to react to that
Yes love GQ
How about Crab bukkit?
I rewatch this performance all the time - two tags both of which are incredible
Singing harmonies and hearing it all come together is so satisfying ;)
Finally! Barbershop reaction. Please also react to Voctave with Vocal Majority - A Million Dreams!
I was there live - 2016, Nashville, in the little theater, eighth row, at my first Barbershop International. This performance changed my life.
And you should join Barbershop Tara! Women can join the Barbershop Harmony Society, or there is Sweet Adelines and Harmony Inc.
Yes!! I second this reaction!! Voctave and Vocal Majority are amazing together!
I watch this at least once a week in addition to ua-cam.com/video/RwUkjPUqVyM/v-deo.html
And yes! Baritone is melody to me🙂
4nbari same... that’s another phenomenal performance.
Find yourself some Sweet Adelines. I sing baritone with my group in Northwest Arkansas. Baritone is a funky type of harmony that us harmony junkies love. ❤️
Me too! Bari's rule...other parts....lol!!!
Deborah Shipman yes!! 🎶❤️
Chris DeRosa from Viva is another Baritone
I sing Lead and Tenor with Brindabella Chorus!
I am so glad you reacted to this
Woman today are welcome into the Barbershop Harmony Society as performers. GQ, a women's quartet finished 3rd and The Ladies finished 6th in the recent International contest in Charlotte, NC this past July. There were also mixed quartets and choruses with female singers. You will be welcomed with open arms if you choose to visit a chapter/chorus rehearsal.
“That guys’ hair though” 😂😂😂😂 thats Martin for you!!
Holly cow!! Finally after several times requesting this (Sorry Tara, I had to do it). I knew it was gonna blow you mind, they're amazing singers and barbershop music is lovely as well. This video has too much little thigs to talk about! And come on, those harmonies at the end :) So glad you reacted to this
I so enjoyed this reaction video. The original video brought me here. Now I not only know that it was tremendous, but also why it was tremendous. Well done!!!
Please do Vocal Spectrum!
These guys are one of the greatest!
Yes! Do their rendition of Go The Distance!
Likewise, do "Go The Distance" The final post note by the tenor Tim Warrick is INSANE!
Ahhh that was amazingggggg!!!! I’m in love with this arrangement 😍😍😍
You should react to the Newfangled Four! They’re a really awesome and funny barbershop group!
Like I told Bruddah Sam, welcome to the rabbit hole that is barbershop! If you think that hearing it in an ambient setting was awesome, try listening to it again with headphones. You will hear nuances in those chords (overtones, undertones, etc.) that seem impossible and will give you goosebumps. Sweet Adelines is a women's barbershop organization, plus the men's Barbershop Society is open now to women and are sponsoring blended groups as well as men's choruses and quartets. There is actually an excellent Sweet Adelines women's chorus, Song of Atlanta, in your area. You should check them out!
Thank you for including barbershop music
Barbershop review, finally! Thank you Tara for sharing your thoughts on this wonderful style!!
I have waited so long for this! Have never clicked faster, and I am pretty sure this is the first time I have commented before watching the video, so excited!
The more barbershop the better!! Its is such an incredible art form that gets overlooked. What most people don't understand regarding barbershop is that, unlike any other form of music I know of, they have rules around chords that are not permitted in competition, making for both that unique sound and MUCH harder arrangements!! Seriously, keep doing barbershop reactions!! You will continue to be amazed!!
Sweet Adelines International is the international Womens' Barbershop organization. They have choruses all over the world. My mom was a Barbershopper for 30 years and was a member of 2 different choruses and 4 Quartets. Barbershop is so much fun!
You have to do a song by NewFangledFour another barbershop quartet
Kova SSB NFF is really fun for the casual watcher but their intonation and raw talent is nowhere near the top level quartets.
@@Headshotphyco Sad, but true. Had they kept going (they've stopped competing) they could have been up there with Main Street and StormFront as gold medalists.
also, "Nowhere near" is a bit harsh, they've hit 6th they had maybe 2 or 3 more years before they would be trading in for 3rd and 2nd.
oh man she finally dipped her toe into the world of BHS. So very excited. to watch this!!!
Same here
.love small choir the most!! Mixed ensemble 💗
This is Swedish Quartet who won the BHS International !
Tara, if you haven't watched Michael Arden as Quasimodo, you are doing yourself a disservice. His rendition of Out There is stunning but you will be blown away by Made of Stone. I'd love to see a reaction to one (or both) of these songs but honestly listen to them either way. I love your channel!
More of them please
7:15 and after is gold.
I didn't know Piers Morgan sang barbershop. Also, girl, I feel you. I couldn't count at the end either. heck.
They DO have a women's barbershop called The Sweet Adelines.
She doesn't know that? Voctave has two women in Sweet Adelines. Tony is big in bhs.
@duranna144 2021
Tara, I've been gushing over Ringmasters quartet, especially this song, for some time. The ending sends me into orbit just as it did you. Just to let you know (I didn't read all the comments to see if it's already been mentioned) - yes there is barbershop for women - known as Sweet Adelines. Here's a link to a recent international champion quartet...ua-cam.com/video/Nov8W3nSN1E/v-deo.html
Looove barbershop. Wish this one had more Hellfire
You should come to International’s at LA! I would love to meet you!
That would awesome!
Barbershops really in its own niche, I love it. My favorite group is probably Vocal Spectrum, they have a lot of good ones but Cruella De Vil is great fun!
okay the ending got me, held it for a good 20 seconds I can’t even hold my breath for 5
I love Ringmasters, they're so good!
I did exactly what you did first time I heard this, Tara! I think both of Jacob's held notes were about 20 seconds. I was exhausted just listening to him.
Whoop whoop! Ringmasters :D
There are a ton of barbershop videos from the barbershop Harmony society. They are wonderful!
Thank you for reacting :) was my Suggestion and i didnt Know you just „reply“ that quick 👍🏻
Wait, i suggested the ringmasters one day after Your reaction :0 what the heck
