Great set! Love seeing more mixed voice quartets. What’s arranger for day in day out?

[@nickymcgrath]

Thanks so much! we had a rad time up there. Day In Day Out is an Andrew Carolan special! Super fun chart to sing.

Love this! So cool to hear classic Four Freshmen rep in a barbershop contest set. Go Nicky and co.!

Hi all, I am a barbershop noob and am just learning how to sing it myself. Can someone clarify what voicing their arrangement is? Is it SATB or TLBB? Thanks so much

Hi there! I'm Nicky (lead of this quartet). This is such a good question. We had a chat about it and aren't really sure ourselves, lol! We would still call it TLBB because that's the barbershop language regardless of gender (which I love), but you could call it SAAB or SATB. The arrangements we sing are a mixture of SSAA, TTBB, and SATB voicings (if we were to use traditional/non-barbershop voicing language) and we often make adjustments to work for us (like changing the key or revoicing sections). For these songs specifically, Day In Day was arranged for me by my partner for an SSAA quartet Shelby and I were in that sadly never got to perform it, so we revoiced it and pitched it down a tone for this group. For the arrangement of Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring, we pitched the SSAA version down a tone, but there is also a TTBB version (but I think both voicings are pretty similar or maybe even the same). Happy to chat more if you have other questions!
