The four chords are as follows Tenor: 3-3-4-4# Lead: 1-1-1-1 Baritone: 5-b7-6-b6 Bass: 1-5-4-b3 With the last chord becoming V in the new key. The scalar stuff is bass goes down the scale, with the baritone stopping on 5, and the tenor going to 3 when the bass hits 1.
This is marvelous for chord ringing practice. Listen to the slide into the chord at 0:53 seconds and to hear the high "A" overtone come out. The intonation and blending is beautiful.
I have no idea what they're doing but it sounds soooo good update: after having done this warmup with my quartet a few times, I now know what they're doing and I still think it sounds soooo good
@@SnowcatArtit's pretty much like solfege, except do re mi and so on is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or back to 1 of course. A # means it's a half step higher, b means half step lower, so your classic bassline for a tritone sub for example would be 2-b2-1. Hope this helps :)
Has anyone else noticed that they blend the best in A major? Especially on a 1-5-1-3 chord on A-E-A-C#. They always blend perfectly with Jakob on the A post, Martin on the A2 or A3 and Emmanuel on the 5th with Rasmus on the high C#. That was a lot of words for saying that they sing an A major chord really well. But, whatever. They are the best.
To confirm this belief, listen to their tag in the Notre Dame medley! In A minor, with a picardy 3rd going to A major at the very end, and the blend and intonation is perfect.
@@LukeBobRobinson I'm guessing it has a lot to do with how the notes fit into their focal range. A4 is basically one of the highest notes a tenor can get in full chest voice, an A2 is where a bass begins to sound deep, and the C#5 can work well in a falsetto or mixed voice from the tenor.
I agree. But I think Rasmus is singing the lead harmony here, the one just pedaling on the I. But you're 100%. And I'm positive Martin stopped just out of fear of having to sing Tenor. 😂
In the key of C (leading into C#), here is what I hear with no harmonic analysis presented: Tenor: C-C-C-C, C-C-C-E. E-E, F-F# Lead: C-C-C-C, C-C-C-C. C-C, C-C(B#) Baritone: C-C-C-C, G-G-G-G, G-Bb. A-G# Bass: C-B-A-G, F-E-D-C. C-G, F-D#. Chords: C-C-C-C, C-C-C-C. C-C7, F-G#7
I see Sfourzando's notations (which I appreciate) but I'm a little confused. On the first part where they go down the scale, are both bass and bari going down with bari stopping on 5?
If i want to teach this to my female chorus as a warm up, what notes would I ask each part to sing? Not massively musical i'm afraid. I know the first part when the bari stops, bass carries on and tenor goes up on the last note but the second part I can't hear all the notes.

why are you so cool?
Would you mind being a little more specific? I really wanna try singins all 4 voices and record it.. thanks!!
@@calviajante the numbers are just scale degrees in whatever key you're in
@@eboone yeah I know, but I didn't understand at what time each chord happens, by this notation
So the tenor ends up on top of the lead ? Wouldn't not be the lead generally on top of tenor ?

Hello from 2023 as a new fan!
Can you guys imagine? They hit overtones on the daily. Overtones are so special to the average singer.
In warm-ups, lol
I have no idea what they're doing but it sounds soooo good
update: after having done this warmup with my quartet a few times, I now know what they're doing and I still think it sounds soooo good
is there a way you can explain the warm up? I’m not sure what to do
@@andrew.1wav have you seen the top comment? If you want an explanation of what all the numbers mean I'm glad to do that :)
@@kleopatra540 I would love to know what the numbers mean! I'm an amateur musician and know letters and solfege but the numbers confuse me

Luke Bob Robinson holy crap I didn't notice until you said something but you're so right!

Absolutely

Awesome ringing!
I would love to hear how it sounds in a middle range with Martin on tenor and Jakob on bass lol
In the key of C (leading into C#), here is what I hear with no harmonic analysis presented:
Tenor: C-C-C-C, C-C-C-E. E-E, F-F#

Chords: C-C-C-C, C-C-C-C. C-C7, F-G#7
A little late, but if anyone knows the name of this exercise (if there is one) pls let me know!
this is really amazing. can anyone get this notated on a score? id love to practice that with choirs
I’ve got a transcription
@@leopirdas6577 would you mind sharing that with me? :) I have a high school quartet that would love this.
@@leighanderson9309 sure
@@leopirdas6577 Can I get that too (if possible?)
@@leopirdas6577 may i get one for my choir please? :)

yes
They're still chords tho. And can be notated as such.
If i want to teach this to my female chorus as a warm up, what notes would I ask each part to sing? Not massively musical i'm afraid. I know the first part when the bari stops, bass carries on and tenor goes up on the last note but the second part I can't hear all the notes.
And that’s only a warmup..!!
What’s the bass singer name I want to know his moves for bass notes
Martin and he is incredible
Martin Wahlgren
0:50 rinnnnnnngs!
Will someone please explain all the moving parts for me?
See Sfourzando's comment for a description of the chord structures!

The "chords" are just harmonies.
That's what chords are.
What a brilliant comment, Tyriama. Thanks for your incredible insight.
astropapi1 that was 6 years ago what are you still doing here
All chords are Harmonies -
All of them.
So pointing that out
was….
JUST words.
Yeah - that’s what you sound like
