The dynamic duo of Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan coming through with a STUNNING rendition of this beautiful piece -- I hope you all enjoy my analysis! :)
So happy to listen this again with your analysis :3
I'm so passionate about music and it's amazing how much you can learn with acapella.
Thank you so much for this
Please react to Voiceplay's "Hoise the Colors" featuring Jose Rosario.
Can you add Avi’s “Full Moon” to the list? The layers always blow me away, one of my favorites from him
Peter do you have any advice for figuring out you're vocal range if you've had no training?
I've seen a few of your reacting to bass singers and I think if you haven't already heard it then "Tim storms Lonesome Road" would be a good video to react to
Avi's change on the rise would be awesome him just solo, nothing crazy high or low but great example of his warmth
In the background he hits some of his lowest growls lol.
I agree. People who don't know what to listen for might not even realize that Change On the Rise is all Avi. All but I think the tambourine.
Change on the Rise has vocal bass that sounds like bass guitar. Listen with headphones. You jaw will drop.
TOTALLY AGREEEE
One of the things that always amazes me about Avi is how agile he is across a his range, and his precision when dancing around his upper and lower range. It’s like vocal parkour. In other news, I’m loving the +20 minute format, especially with the exploration of technique AND theory. I find sub 12 minute videos too short to enjoy.
Your thoroughly detailed analysis is beyond what any other reactor does on YT. Top it off with the warm velvety voice of yours. Who could ask for anything more? I always look forward to your reactions.
I love Peter's analysis as well. More than just shock value, giving actual insight. You may also want to check out reactions by The Charismatic Voice. Elizabeth is another opera singer/vocal coach who does excellent informative technical reactions.
I see you! I see you Avi fan-girling! You were smiling as soon as he started his solo part. That's ok! Me too! Kidding aside, I love this arrangement with Peter and Avi. It just makes me want to close my eyes and ...feel the music. I really appreciate how you break down some things that some of us might miss. Thank you, Peter!
When I feel anxious, I wish I could seal myself in a chamber-type thing with just Avi's bass notes to soothe me and drift away...
Peter and Avi really need to do more duets.
Avi's voice reminds me of a hot, honey tea in the middle of winter when your throat is so sore it hurts to breathe. It just goes down sooooo smooth!
The song, the arrangements and the voices are incredible, but every time I listen to Avi I fall at his feet 😅 Great reaction!
Swooning every time
Such velvety sounds - it releases all the feel good hormones in my brain! 💖
i am in love with avi man
The harmonies, the lush chord variations...wow! They blend so well.
I thought I was a PTX fan. It turns out I'm an Avi fan. I have never heard this song until earlier this year and it was this version. For me, this is the only one.
Same here. I'm a huge fan of Avi. He's just so amazing.
LOVE getting a pro's reaction. Don't apologize for doing what you do. If someone complains about it, they should NOT be watching reaction videos & SHOULD get over themselves.
Would LOVE to get your take on Voiceplay's Hoist the Colours just released. Pretty sure you're going to love it!
Thank you, could not love this song more. Avi Does make everything better. This song almost makes one ache with its beauty.❤️
Avi’s solo part on this is hands down one of the sexiest vocals i’ve ever heard. Everytime, i feel it in my toes and just melt. Lol
The beauty and intimacy of the music aside, you briefly mentioned the video production aspect. This was filmed and edited by FifGen Films, who have done quite a few videos for PTX, including "Hallelujah", "Daft Punk", "Love Again", "Can't Hold Us", and Avi's "Aberdeen".
My daughter had the privilege to work with Eric Whitacre in her children's choir. He is an amazing instructor and composer. Thank you for giving him a shout out!
I have a reaction and analysis of an Eric Whitacre song coming out next week! He's one of my absolute favorite choral composers
@@PeterBarber Awesome...We will make it a familyviewing event!
You should review PTX "Run to You". Beautiful original song by PTX.
Yes please again. Few cover it but it uses dissonance (Avi's idea I'm sure) and is gutwrenchingly gorgeous.
Always educational without being dry. You, and the charismatic voice are my go to for analysis. Avi and Peter almost sounded like a pipe organ at times (I know…the layering) but still. Hobbit drinking medley next?lol. Great job tho.
Your analysis is fascinating. This song is very special. Feels free and natural while being incredibly complex and well formed.
Avi, he only makes things better. He's a good man in any setting.
Ah, what a beautiful rendition with those two amazing voices! ❤️ I could listen to either one of them all day… man, especially Avi’s low, tender riffing. And all those luscious, moving chords with Peter’s high and Avi’s low. ❤️
I sang this song as an exercise in a Diction class, 😂 but this is a magical, soul-lifting version, to say the least!
I totally get the production side - I add in countdowns or clicks when I have a nebulous entrance, too. 👍
Side note - you’re fast with adding Patrons in your description! I just joined this morning and I’m already on your Patreon list! 😂
voice play came out with a new song a couple days ago hoist the colours
13:20 hmm yeah...I always get chills at that part! Unbelievably good!
Thank you for your in-depth analysis of this beautiful arrangement of this traditional folk ballad. Peter & Avi's voices really complement each other with the high & low tones. Enjoy his collaborations with other artists especially basses. Peter & Tim Foust have done quite a few great songs together.
Avi's "Full Moon" is one of the best examples of the warmth and fullness of his voice imo! Would love to hear you listen to that and give us your thoughts!
Peter, if you do react to "Full Moon", I recommend you do the official studio recording, as it's fuller and more dramatic, with more layers and Mike Mogis's production. If you'd prefer, however, there's an acoustic version he did last year for a TH-cam Space LA mini concert, where it's just him and his guitar, bringing a real Spanish flavor to the song.
Oh yes please. Full Moon is amazing. Major chef's kiss to his voice in that. Yikes
TOTALLY AGREEE, PLEASE PETER REACCIÓN A FULL MOON
It's 1:28 in the morning and I''m looking for a SHORT video to send me off to sleep. Then I saw this and knew I had to watch it, no matter how long it took. Your analysis helps me appreciate even more the music that I already love--and your speaking voice is so friendly and soothing. Thank you.
Can't agree more about riffs! Just because you "can" doesn't mean you "should" It should be an accent, a dessert...not the whole meal.
Exactly, just a brief ornament.
An insightful and intelligent reaction. Bravo!
I know that you seem to be interested in more songs using a bass component, however I’d like your take on a song that he did with his wife Evynne called “The Prayer”. Every time I hear it it gives me the shivers. It is more in an opera like (?) tone and part of it is sung in Italian. The way their voices blend and diverge is awesome (full of awe) for me. Thank you. I enjoy your critique of the various songs you have done . Makes me think and go back and listen again to those songs. Thank you!
I LOVE this song! I sang it in Dec 1989 on my senior voice recital.
Your appreciation for musicians and providing extensive explanations is appreciated, Peter.
This song is exceptional in this arrangement. It is as if it calms me in a sub-cellular level, the harmonies cutting painlessly through my body into the core. While I was writing a novel during the last years it was often on endless repeat, as it anchored me to the melancholy of the hero (when he knew he had been an idiot again) longing for the love of his life. Listening to this analysis was a delight. To be able to share the love of beauty and appreciation for this level of art with total strangers is awesome, in the correct meaning of that word.
I love this piece, and Peter Hollens has done a similar line with Tim Foust with 'Greensleeves'. I love these older songs being reworked but not modernised.
This song, and Avi's voice. There are so many levels of sound. Thank you for featuring this !
The way you break this down is so much more thorough than other "reactions." This is such a powerful piece from only two voices. I also agree that this arrangement is killer and I think showcases their abilities perfectly. Keep these videos coming.
hello fellow junkrat player :D
I definitely appreciate your in depth analysis as I have mentioned many times. I love that u take all the time to go thru these so amazingly with such precision. I am a huge fan of this song, I've noticed since I went down the Peter rabbit hole, that he is more of a classical arrangement oriented guy and I have been a fan of most everything he does and I love that he brought Avi on this, 2 amazing voices and just so smoothly blended. I'm not gonna lie, the first time I heard this, not only did I get chills which happens a lot when I listen to beautifully sung music, but it actually brought tears to my eyes bc there was just so much emotion in the singing of this. You can just see the whole story if u close your eyes. Just so beautiful, I love that those notes are so drawn out and lengthy, you get to hear the amazing texture of their voices as they move thru them. Thank you again for another awesome analysis, took us to real soul church! Can't wait for more.
Your understanding of musical composition and theoretical analysis is refreshing. Absolutely love these breakdowns so far! Unlike anything other TH-camrs are doing and it's so appreciated.
Loved your analysis Peter! Always love hearing about the music theory of it all. Not many reactors go over music theory on music videos. This song takes me back to high school. Used to sing it all the time. Thanks again! Enjoy singing Carmen!
Thoroughly appreciate your in depth analysis. Not many reactors put in as much effort as you do. I would love to see you check out VoicePlay's new rendition of Hoist the Colors. One of their best in my opinion.
Absolutely!!!
This song makes me feel some kinda way, hoo boy. Also, it makes me really miss my chorale days, where I was part of a mixed ensemble and we sang songs more akin to this. I love Peter's stuff because it does hearken back to that type of music while bringing in new audiences. Wonderful analysis! I love to hear seasoned musicians' thoughts on all these amazing acapella artists.
Great reaction! I love all the information. I would love to see you react to Run To You by Pentatonix. Avi and Kevin wrote it and it is quite different from their normal songs.
Great reaction/analysis, as always. Such a beautiful piece, and now I'm able to appreciate the technical expertise even more. Thanks for doing what you do in exactly the way you do it!
Hi Peter, thank you for a really interesting breakdown of this lovely piece. I was wondering if you'd come across a musician called Chase Holfelder who takes pieces set in major key and translates them into the minor key. It has a very interesting effect on pieces of music that I as the listener thought I knew very well. Thanks again for a really interesting reaction and I'm awaiting with baited breath your reaction/review of Voiceplay's Hoist The Colour.
This is one of my favorite arrangements! Thank you for taking the time to explain things! You are doing a great job!
I really appreciate your analysis and insight in these videos. I highly recommend you check out Avi's solo work. Change on the Rise really set the tone for his more recent work and is an awesome track.
He's done some Avi, and actually did a bass cover of "Change o the Rise" himself (and "The Summit").
@@charlottevan_8 yeah I like his covers 🙂 Part of why I think it would be great to get his musical breakdown of why he thinks they're great 👍
Yes please!
Great reaction. Love the awesome analysis. I know that I love how the guys sound in this song & you help me understand so much more. Thanks giving us an insight into how much work goes into an arrangement as intricate as this is.
Eric Whitacre? A Boy and a Girl? Then you need Voces8, and their performance of that piece. They are positively brilliant at it. If you're familiar with the piece, but have never heard them sing it, please give a shot at a reaction as well as analysis, and listen for the first time on camera. If you don't like the result, don't post it. But at least give us fans a shot at a bit of a reaction from you. You can always give us your usual analysis after having listened first. They are really good and deserve more coverage than they get.
Peter hollens did a cover of 'A Boy and A Girl' with his wife a while ago if you're interested in that.
Really enjoyed your reaction to this. Many Avi and Peter and PTX fans have a choral background, and appreciate all the things you are pointing out. It's nice when you go to a PTX concert, and so many in the audience sing along in tune, like a huge choir.
So so much great analysis, again. Thank you.
Thank you for this reaction. One of my favorites I haven't heard for awhile.
Thank you. I did want to hear your analysis. Always great. I keep learning from you.
Great reaction, I love this song. Excellent breakdown
Love your analysis. I’ve learned so much from them and enjoy each piece much more than had you not explained it to someone who doesn’t realize what it actually going on with every single arrangement. Keep doin what your doin ❤️
Thank you for your knowledgeable analysis of the wonderful collaboration by two masters of their craft...
By another master of the craft.
This is such a gorgeous piece. I just want to put it on a permanent loop and let them sing me to sleep every night.
Thank you Peter for your in depth analysis of these videos. Its interesting to learn why the ear likes certain sounds and how a piece can invoke emotions. Plus hearing your voice explain things doesnt hurt either 😂
I learn so much from your reactions! Very enjoyable and easy to watch. Avi's Change on the Rise is a favorite of mine. Would love to hear your take. Also, Voiceplay's new Hoist the Colors is insane!!
What a beautiful piece! I love both Peter and Avi and, together, they made this a masterpiece! I always appreciate your analysis. It makes listening and understanding pieces such as this more enjoyable the next time around. Please consider reacting to and analyzing Tim Foust singing "Can't Help Falling in Love". It's from several years ago and there is no video, and he also accompanies himself on the piano. It's beautiful.
YES! Finally someone listens to Peter Hollens! He is amazing. And he does (most) of the a cappella by himself!.
Yes!! I love Eric Whitacre! I fell in LOVE with choral music after the my first song, Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine. I always appreciate your analysis on these reactions! :)
Pentatonix live in China. They do a song with Mitch showing his riffs. He is spectacular in it.
They sounds wonderful together! 🔥💖
You need to check out Avi's solo videos. Voice like silk! Aberdeen, Change on the Rise, first place I go. Love the all
Really interesting, thank you. 😊
The King's Singers do similar works (since 1968).
I'm really loving your analysis videos. I'm an alto 2 myself, so I always listen out for the lowest voices in a group, and hearing another low voice with similar reactions to my own is so fun. I'd like to request Patrick Page singing Hey Little Songbird or Build The Wall from Hadestown. The bass in those songs is absolutely incredible. When The Chips Are Down from that show also highlights their low alto, so it's overall a great show.
"we love the bass".... yes, yes, we do
Choral pieces are the best!
It's like there are 3 acapella groups for reactors ; PTX , Voiceplay and HF ( sometimes Voctave as well ) . That is why i strongly suggest you to react to the AMAZING "The Voca People" Peter . I really hope u will take this advice !
I too am a real bass lover and my top fav's are Avi, Tim Foust and Geoff Castalucci. I am a baritone but my wife goes NUTS for a bass voice. Yet she still picked me 😁. But I love listening to a good bass.
This is a song I learned as a kid, so I have some nostalgia for it. Love this. (Though, of course, the best version is Nina Simone's.)
Would love to see you react to Diana Ankudinova. A little outside your usual reaction, but her voice is so unique and fascinating. Especially Rechenka, though Wicked Game is the most popular.
Picardy passage perhaps? Perfect!
please react to home frees cover of brother in arms, some amazing low notes in that one!
Hey! Awesome video, love the detailed analysis! I'd like to suggest Dimash - Sinful Passion, which may be more outside of your normal bubble of reactions, but would be awesome to see given your vocal expertise
Lovely react, Avi Kaplan and Peter Hollens have absolutely beautiful duet.
What about you and Peter Hollens take one or duets? Just a question…
Peter have you ever met Avi? Would love to see you guys meet on camera and maybe sing together.
Could have sworn I sent you this lol
I would love to hear a duet with you and avi
Loved the reaction would love to see you react to can you feel the love tonight by ptx
Love the content Peter! When you get the chance, watch or react to "We Three Kings" by The Hound and The Fox with Tim Foust! Keep it up
15:19 yup what a name!!😁😜😄👍🏻
once i got used to the way Peter did this version (as opposed to the version every voice student has heard and/or sung ad nauseam), this is absolutely beautiful.
If you like all choral with crunchy harmonies, you will enjoy PTXs Run to You.
Avi primarily wrote Run to You with Kevin on the chorus so that makes sense. Prior to Pentatonix Avi was looking at either singing opera or becoming a choral director. Both of them got to sing all the way through instead of only providing the instrumentals.
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 love that song so much
Peter, I'm not a singer: I really enjoyed your reaction/knowledge and listening to your speaking voice is addictive! I am a new subscriber, please check out Dimash: SOS, Sinful Passion...and more. I think it would be great to hear what you think. Thanks for your expertise! ( Avi is always so smooth )
The lengths of the videos are fine stop stressing over it and just enjoy yourself, that comes through and sells it better than anything. I'm working from home and have you running on autoplay in the background just 'cause it's nice.
I prefer songs you don't need a musical degree to find the melody for average listening, but I really like that you have found a variety of styles to poke with sticks. I'm kinda curious for the day you get brave enough to react to something you actually don't like. (although I hope it will be for an interesting reason whatever that will be)
I love your analysis because I have no real knowledge of music theory. Also....I could listen to you read the phone book (I can hear the kids saying "what's a phone book") and be enraptured.
@Peter Barber Hey Voiceplay released a new song a week ago and it is called hoist the colours featuring Jose Rosario Jr and Geoff does some crazy stuff in the song and it is from one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and you should do a reaction to it
Oh please please do Peter Hollens Jai Ho and Desert Rose. It so beautiful
I know you're out of town right now (awesome on Carmen. If I lived on that side of the country I would find a way to go see you) but when you get a chance PLEASE do a video for Voiceplay Oogie Boogie. I'm dying to hear your analysis.
Planning to for my Halloween series starting next month!
Couldn't you hear me screaming........."Replay Avi's part" lol I know you do a lot of pausing and that is fine with me ...but can I suggest that you just backtrack a few seconds maybe 10 or 15 seconds before you press play....It's good to go back and see what you have pointed out so succinctly ...thanks so much for reacting to this...
Would LOVE to hear your reaction to Mayday by Homefree...they have some interesting things going on in that song...
We definitely love the bass! And your videos too. Another great analysis. When I first heard this song it really affected me but I didn’t know why. Your analysis has explained it now. Would love to hear your thoughts on “bass face” ~ Is it a thing that bass singers can’t avoid looking “mean” or scowling when they sing low? Is it natural biological thing that happens? Been hearing about it lately. Thanks Peter.
Bass singers do often feel like craning their necks down helps with low notes, but truthfully it just closes off the vocal tract and limits sound, which is why you don't see bass singer in opera doing it -- gotta keep the chin up for full power! But you can get away with it in styles that use microphones, and it really helps in music videos so you can see which singer is "singing" the low notes, because people watching are always interested
@@PeterBarber Thanks so much for replying. Is the scowl/frown on the forehead automatic too so that you have to concentrate to not do it, especially if you’re acting like in an opera? Love your videos.
hey i love your reaction`s and analysis :) can you pleas to Hoist the Colours Acapella VoicePlay ft Jose Rosario Jr
You should react to Avi’s change on the rise
Please react to voiceplay newest cover of "Hoist the colours" 😍😍
You need to react to the new voice play hoist the colours immediately plz 😂
You have to react to Hoist the colours by Voiceplay it is amazing you won't regret it and I think you will give it at least 2 Vipers
please react to hoist the colours by voiceplay Peter please!
