6:08 omg can we appreacite the timpani player's save from almost dropping the mallet
That was so cool, that must be super difficult to do under such pressure
Haha spotted that too 😂
Almost doesn't even look like an accident, it even hits on the beat. It has to be an accident though because there's no way you would risk that move just as a flourish. Insane save.
@@catspeakrightmeow2643it kind of feels like it is on purpose. he did it a few times in this video. in my experience percussionists do stuff like that a lot 😅
@@samithprinklez1093 like when did he do it before?
The original video of Notre Dame was what got me into barbershop in the first place, and hearing this feels like a culmination of my journey into the genre, almost like a reward for sticking with it this long
That's crazy, same for me as well!
Me as well dude! Me and my barbershop are coming close to 1 year together!
Same for me! AND it was a reintroduction to the Notre Dame Soundtrack which I still listen to this day. Can't believe it's been 6 years
I still listen to their original over and over
oh hey did you ever see the hunchback musical last summer? no joke it was a life changing experience for me
Nice save by the bass drummer in the back at 6:10 omg
Haha, it's amazing!
Meme timpanist. Love it.
The 😂😂😂❤😊❤😅
This is the content I crave
You can see the guy in the back at 5:14 being stunned by the Ringmasters voices suddenly ringing out by themselves:)
thanks for pointing this out!! 😂
That's adorable!
This is beyond fabulous, but the remarkable nature of the voices is lost. When it was just four voices I was overwhelmed by the sound and the texture. In fact, I was amazed there were NO instruments because they were an orchestra unto themselves. DA
This was truly ridiculous. I think every barbershop quartet should come with a symphony orchestra now
Love that the orchestra cut out during the crescendo at 5:15 to hear just the voices
AGREED!! Stunning choice!!
Yeah, also gave them time to turn pages in their music.
Could be wrong but I think only the strings dropped out? Looks like the woodwinds in the back could still be playing (flutes and clarinets looked like they were playing).
Still an effective musical decision to drop out the strings though!
6:09 timpani player goes absolutely nuts
also, absolutely stunning arrangement and performance!
Yeah. I could't believe it when I saw. kkkkkkkk. Glad it didn't go unnoticed.
Simply unbelievable! The arrangement only enhances the vocals, it's a triumph. This'll be on repeat for a while.
The "Out There" portion was just so uplifting and sweet to listen to. If it had a single version, ugh, it'll be on repeat for a looong time.
I'm really glad that the orchestra doesn't replace the vocals, but truly enhances the experience. There are many things that can't be done easily by human voice (the runs in the flutes and violins at several climaxes), and they really make the whole piece feel that much bigger and more gorgeous.
Am I the only one who noticed the Timpani player at 6:10?! Well recovered, good sir! If that was intentional, then an attempt to steal the spotlight was made...!
This is what it feels like when a book is made into a movie and it’s done right. It felt cinematic!
Absolutely incredible. The original performance from 2017 is genuinely my favourite video on all of TH-cam. What I would give to hear a rendition live!
fun fact the famous recording at the AIC convention was actually the fourth public performance (the first was in Madrid and is on a recording but idr what it's called)
@@evaniscool1341 I believe you're talking about the one in the video simply called "Ringmasters Barbershop Quartet" by Fundacion Juan March
I just heard it live last night in Alexandria, Virginia, the Ringmasters came to the United States to celebrate the Alexandria Harmonizers 75th Anniversary and performed this number as an encore.
THAT OCTAVE LOCK AT 1:42 WOWWW
amazing work!! Still improving after all these years :)
That moment when the orchestra cut out and they were just sending it gave me all kindsa chills up and down and all the goosebumps and every hair on edge… that shit was awesome
everyone just calm down, its happening, no need to panic (yall im screaming).
The smile on the conductor says it all. I cant help every time I hear this by you guys brings the same smile to my face!
I discovered the original performance a few weeks back, and no song has ever made me as emotional as that. This rendition is even more powerful and just as stunningly beautiful as the original. I've truly become a fan of this group and their incredible vocal powers.
Definitely. This was the first performance/piece truly brought me to tears because of the sheer beauty of... Well, everything!
I'm not saying I cried because Hunchback is my favourite Disney movie of all time and one of the first soundtracks I learnt all the words to, front and back, even the French words before I even started learning French and you 4 gents freaking nailed this.
But I am saying that if anyone else shred a happy tear at this, then I did in fact cry at this.
The guy on the timps loses his stick at 6:20 and recovers like the pro he is.
Awesome as a cappella, and awesome with the full orchestra.
Okay, lead has at least two sustained notes that go for about 20sec each. Holy mother of pearl!
Absolute legend on the timpani with the stick toss at 6:10.
This may be the future of barbershop. Incredible work, guys!
Return of the Kings
Shoutout to Colonel Sanders for taking time out of his schedule to conduct the orchestra 💯
I just wanted to say thank you. To the four of you and to Martin. I keep going back to your original Notre Dame video. I'm so grateful you shared that and that you keep sharing your music with us. You're great! Thank you!
ringmaster's bells arrangement is still my favourite barbershop performance of all time, the a capella one they uploaded some years ago I still visit regularly, blows me away every time. Glad to see you guys still doing so well!
i’ve probably listened to ringmasters iv around 100 times. this is absolutely phenomenal in every way and gives me chills like crazy
the sequel i never knew i needed
I am speechless. You have left me this way before but truly, this performance is perfection. There are not enough adjectives to give proper kudos to each and every one of you. Thank you one and all.
Blessings from Kansas~
The baritone part was just the icing on the cake!
This must be a dream come true! I started listening to barbershop because of you guys (Martin included) and this was such a thrill to watch. Congratulations.
Amazing Performance, still can't believe that i was able to see this live...just breathtaking😍
I love that in theory this should've been done with more singers to get that majestic sound, but these guys by themselves already sound as powerful as a full choir. It could just be due to the mixing, but still...
Shoutout to the timp player who chucks his stick in the air at 6:10! As a fellow percussionist we've all been there some *cough* more than others *cough* 👀
Certified french grip moment
This should have a billion views
Yet here again, am I. Still the same, holy moly! Chills
i've listened to this song and sang it with my buddies numerous times, but i have never, in my entire life, cried over an arrangement like this before. watching this was truly a turning point for me musically and i'm so excited to grow up and be a musician :)
I'm going to cry. I needed this. Truly. Thank you so much, Ringmasters.
This is astonishing. The Ringmasters continue to thrill. A World class performance like no other. Thank you gentlemen and the orchestration was superb too.
I must admit, even though I love orchestral pieces, I sometimes feel a bit weary of orchestral arrangements added to pieces to minimal or no accompaniment because I sometimes feel they miss the point of what makes it so magical, but the ending of this did give me chills :) it was pretty great, also good to hear the ringmasters’ voices have improved so much, i noticed a new clarity and placement to the lead's note at the end which I am always impressed by
I've gotta be honest. If I had never heard the original, I would have thought this version was great. But I'm not entirely sure it actually enhances Aaron Dale's vocal arrangement. I would almost prefer to hear this with a soloist or two instead of the barbershop voicing. There are so many wonderful bits of vocal harmony that are simply drowned out with the full orchestra.
This is so beautiful. I love the original just the same, but this performance has a very different feel to it. The first performance was beautiful for the impressive complexity of the vocal arrangement that gave the medley a deeper texture than you would think possible for an a capella quartet, making the performance far more powerful because it relied entirely on the talent of the vocalists and the arrangement itself.
While this one is beautiful because it also feels powerful, but in a calmer and more peaceful way, because it's the same arrangement but with a full orchestra, which takes just enough focus off of the vocals to enhance the song itself without taking too much away from them, which gives the overall performance an impressive yet calm feel. Well done, and thank you!
I like this but I wish the orchestra was a bit more muted. You lose quite a bit of the vocal nuances that you can hear in the original version.
Take a bow, gentlemen. Incredible.
I love the original video. But this... this honestly feel truly magical. This is one of those rare moments in music where everything falls together so well that it embodies what perfection is.
WOW! The original performance of this medley is easily my favorite barbershop performance of all time, and hearing this with a full booming and beautiful orchestra was phenomenal. I was grinning like an idiot throughout this whole video, absolute music to my ears.
That was fully sick.
when there are multiple goosebump moments, you know it's the good stuff
Nur begeisterte und strahlende Gesichter bei den Musikern. Alle hatten Spaß.
So… you’ve got one of the most epic medleys in barbershop nailed by perfection, and then you guys go and do it again, but with a fantastic orchestra (great arrangement too). Beau-ti-ful!
I didn't know it, but I have been waiting for this.
Born soon enough to witness Ringmasters! ♥
Doing it with an orchestra was a really cool idea! I love this!
I've watched the recording on barbershop harmony societ at least 100 times. This performance genuinely brought a tear to my eye. An incredible arrangement and orchestration
It was so nice to see how excited the conductor and orchestra were at the end there, what a labor of love!
the directors energy is amazing
That must've been an awesome experience for that conductor to work with you guys. You can see the excitement in his face. Awesome job as always.
I have been unbelievably surprised about this 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I LOVE THE OROGINAL THIS IS PERFECT
Absolutely beautiful. Normally quartet and choir stuff isn't my lot, I'm more a metalhead than anything, but god, this was stunning. You guys are fantastic.
This kind of lets me appreciate how bright tone the previous bass had for that low register.
Still everything's great. ;)
OMG THAT LAST CHORD!!! I’ve got tears running down my face.
I don't know wich i like the most, acapella or this one. Unbelievable!
Not gonna lie, tears were shed
Literally brings me to tears it's so epic.
YAS!!!!! HE HIT THAT NOTE AT THE END 🎉
This got me so emotional and it caught me so off guard. I found myself singing along and crying tears of joy! With the voices I’ve memorized and the beautiful orchestration, this was as magical as the first time I listened to the original. Bravo!
aaaaaaa with orchestra!
This is so beautiful my heart aches
This is so wonderful.
The vocal performance is even better than the original (no surprise) and the orchestral arrangement is a perfect mix of supporting the existing vocal lines, adding embellishments at the right moments, and getting out of the way at others. Bravo!
A lot of magical moments in that performance...outstanding!!
That was the greatest seven minutes of my life I have ever spent. My two all time favorite things combined.
I love how at 6:11 the Timpanist throws his stick up to land on the timpani semi in time. Gotta love musicians just having fun.
First time I heard this (a capella) was a Ringmasters gig in Germany. Very poetic to have my soul leave my body again by Ringmasters singing this, in Germany, and with an orchestra.
YYEYEEEEESSS YEEES YES YESSSS MANNN YEEEEAAAAGHHH
Another 3 months, another multitude of views, another few chills down my spine.
Absolutely, positively beautiful. I don't know how many times I've listened to the original performance of this, but this just sends me over the moon. Fantastic job, everyone involved!
Absolutely beautiful. I discovered the original only a few years ago & this just takes it to another level.
My God, so amazed by this song an singing. Thanks, Ringmasters!
What an absolutely top class performance
Props to the timpani player threw it on the upstroke and managed to catch it lmao
I can't help but love this one a bit more than their performance for the BHS just because of the power all of them have at the tag. It was already amazing but they all have such a different sound! The leads note at 6:04 in the sustained note is just so good, and sounds so much more supported in this performance. Plus the orchestra did such a good job! They could have really overshadowed the Ringmasters with everything going on at the end( and through the whole thing, tis a lot of instruments) but they really just added to it all. One of the best performances ive seen and you can really hear the improvement for everyone, just so good!
I’m so glad about this upload! Sounds beautiful, never stop singing.
Omg...the Out There section is just...amazing.
So much barbershop overdoes the little sharpening of the tone...but the lead is above the sharpening and it is just...perfectly amazing!
The Ringmasters are truly The SINGmasters! Absolutely brilliant performance! Bravo!!!
I happened upon the original around a month ago and have come back to it multiple times since-seeing this while searching for the first was a treat!!
Ohhh! A new video of the best musical arrangement of all time? Yes please!
This is absolutely INSANE! Not that you guys need it but the orchestra adds so much!! True gold medalists right there! 💈
The guy at the end held that note longer than I stayed in college
wow!
MAJESTIC
This is so goddamn magical and beautiful.
I've been waiting for so long for this
It was such a thrill for me and my friend to be there to hear this song live on stage for the first time! After listening to it way too many times on TH-cam, the experience that evening was just beyond anything our minds could comprehend. Loved it!
Absolutely amazing
I’m glad this arrangement is finally getting the recognition it deserves
omg I've been wating so long for this and it was even better than I expected
This rendition of the hunchback of notre dame has been my favorite for a long time. This just made it so much more amazing. Nothing but goosebumps
