Wonderful G1 from the basses at the end!
this CONTINUES to remain the best version of all the choirs
Kings singers is the best one, because it's done with all guys, the way it should be, the only way I've ever done it with choirs
Beautiful! I love the Thundercloud moment at 2:47 when the bass really thunders in.
Based on what's written in the music, it's supposed to be the "if the" that's the unison powerful part
My goodness that bass tho....
Can we talk about that bass near the end though because it was perfect.
So beautiful! And that bass2 note at the end WOW!
It's been a couple years since I heard this on TH-cam, and something brought me back "home" to this arrangement. It took me a while to find someone who was in this specific choir, and they alerted me to one of the bass singers that BEASTED the last note. I'm thinking his name was Spencer, and he's 6th from the left on the top row...the soloist. I'm still amazed at this arrangement...lots of "rubs" and resolutions that are awesome. Thank you Rene Clausen and Bob Chilcott for your contributions to this masterpiece. Two words: SIMPLISTICALLY AWESOME! Edit: while battling a bug of some kind on 2/6, I decided to go for the end notes in the B1 line, seeing as how my voice was extremely low for me being ill. My hat is in my hands and whomever is hitting those notes - BRAVO. I was able to keep up through the first... so let it rain... but failed epically with the ensuing notes.
Did they get a friggin' Russian oktavist in there?!
I sang this song in high school, almost 10 years ago. I cried when I sang it then, and cry now when I hear it. This is absolutely stunning! The beauty of this song and this choir sends shivers through me. Thank you.
I’m currently singing this in my choir and let me say that this is unbelievably beautiful, tearing up and then the huge THUNDER CLOUD near the end really jerks you into reality and it’s just and amazing experience just listening to it
I sang this arrangement with our choir at a fellow student's funeral when I was in high school. I cried pretty hard afterwards. I had just gotten to know the person and started to get close to them. They were a great human and they deserved something as beautiful as this, I can only hope we did it a modicum of justice.
This never ever gets old. Absolutely superb!!!
This is so well done. Beautiful job.
I can't get enough of this piece of music!
I was nervous tryna sing a low C and this beast KILLS the G below it! I declare that he cheated.
GORGEOUS-SIMPLY gorgeous..
Stunningly beautiful.
EEEEEE!!!! THE BASSES ARE AMAZING
I truly believe the basses that you are hearing are the 6th and 10th persons on the very back row (starting from the left). I've seen other videos and I do think these are two of the lowest voices in the bass section - and I think the 6th person is the section leader. This arrangement is amazingly rich and gorgeous. What an incredible conductor and musicians in this choral group!!!!
+Greg Sims You're right about these two! They were probably the two lowest basses we had that year. However, I was the bass section leader in this choir--I'm the big one in the third row, 7 from the far left. Glad you enjoyed our sound!
I still can't tell which ones are belching
Still can't tell which ones they are :D 6th with red color and 10th with green color? Those two small guys?
+Greg Sims - I've sang A Capella, SATB, and SAT...the one thing I've found is that two voices are hard to make into one voice, but if you have at least 3, you get a unit sound. By no means am I doubting that #6 and #10 aren't singing, but it would be much easier if there were three, or one. Still an amazing vocal production. BRAVA!
I love this performance so much. I'm conducting this for a concert on Friday, and I was looking for versions to hone what kind of sound I want from my choir, but I couldn't find the right fit until I came across this one. I don't think I'll draw out the notes as long as this choir did; I wanna keep them short and sweet (but not TOO short). Regardless, this piece took me away for a moment. Absolutely lovely.
What netherworld note are the b2's on at the end
Hahaha right that's what I'm saying!
They do from a low C, up to D, then to the G (2 years late but our choir is singing this piece in our next performance)
In this recording, and I'm only assuming - something that should never be done - that there is ONE singer. Is that right? If so, this "animal/beast", and I say that in the most profoundly awesome way, is just "next door" to Eric Alatore of Chanticleer basement of F#1. EDIT: I researched/read a little farther down and found the name of Spencer Livdahl as the Bass 2 Soloist, but I'm not sure if that's the one who is maintaining the G1 at the end of the song.
this gave me shivers, that bass he needs something omg he is awesome
My choir did this song in high school. God this was beautiful
THE BASSS THE BASSS THE BASSS THE BAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS🥺
I know that’s right
I'm singing this song in my Choir
Me too
Who is the bass soloist?
Spencer Livdahl
Can you point out which guy that is?
You can't miss him. I believe he sings 2nd bass standing in the last row. Beautiful voice! Watch the video once again.
It's a truck's motor!! Amazing
GREAT solo! Soft and enchanting :) Just watched another video with a very IN YOUR FACE solo that was unpleasant. Very soft transitions, good legato, little bit much on the Sss, but overall one of the best I've heard :) Did this in Mass Choir in High School and it was a very moving song.
