Loved your reaction. Dan is singing in Italian, German, Portuguese, and English with the chorus in Latin. The word choral as in chorus. Pronounced just like coral in the Great Barrier Reef. The choir effect is Dan singing his own backup by recording multiple tracks.
Sorry Dan just a quick question about the R platform I just got an email today saying u uploaded two new videos but the videos were when u put up let's listen to music it which was 4 days ago my notifications says I'm subscribed for hourly notifications but yet on ur channel thing it's instant so I'm just slightly confused but sure it's not the end of the world I'll just pop over any time and check then or in the community post .I was just wondering if there is anything else I need to click on to get the update when u put it up if u get me sorry for the sermon text
He is amazing ..check out his Adeste Fideles and the Hallelujah Chorus ...also check out David Phelps singing O Holy Night...he is amazing...you won;t be disappointed...one of the best tenors on the planet
I completely agree with you that many Christmas songs get vastly overplayed. The fact that Dan can breathe new life into them and make them compelling again shows his unique and brilliant artistry.
...which, of course, is why we all love ALL of his covers. It always irks me a bit when I see people posting things like, "Nobody will EVER do the songs better than...fill in the names." What they don't understand is that Dan isn't trying to either replace those songs (or singers), or necessarily trying to make them better, even. He's simply doing what Dan loves to do, and singing them the way they are living inside of HIM. To me, it would be an HONOR to have him like a song that I had sung, well enough to cover it! OH YEAH!
@@GrandmasGotGraceLW Agreed. Music is art and as such is open to interpretation and personal preference. I enjoy seeing the ways different artists can interpret the same song. Some I like, some I don't. It just so happens that I really like all of Dan's interpretations! 😀
The choir (multiple voices in the background) was Dan (and Dan, and at least one more Dan), of course. The chorus (the line that is sung between every verse, and then again at the end) is in Latin every time (that's the "Gloria" part). No matter what language in which the song is sung, the "glorias" are always sung in Latin. What I watched for immediately, the first time I saw this (back in April when "Amazing Grace" was posted, was to see how Dan HANDLED the "glorias," because you are NOT supposed to take a breath throughout those runs. Not only doesn't he take a breath there, he doesn't take a breath going INTO them, or going OUT of them. Now THAT's impressive to me. I was still being impressed with "Amazing Grace" (same day, then, but I'm STILL impressed...with everything Dan does), but THIS song got my attention even more. This is the way the song was definitely MEANT to be sung. I have sung it in choirs for years and years and years, and have sung the solo parts many of those times. It's not an easy song to sing, IF you do it right, and Dan's version of it is SO MUCH MORE THAN RIGHT! Thank you for your reaction. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Such a beautiful rendition of this beloved classic. I love how Dan adds such power and delivers it with joy and intensity. He is working on a new Christmas song now and I hope it will be out soon. So we have more epicness to anticipate. Thanks again for another great reaction. Blessings to you and your family.
I keep hoping that he'll do at least two Christmas songs for this year, as he did last year (when this one and Adeste Fidelis were posted). Even just one will be fantastic, but..."Hope springs eternal..." 😀
As noted in other comments the choral section is sung in Portuguese, presumably Brazilian Portuguese. This is how the angels sounded to the shepherds that night in the fields. No wonder "they were sore afraid!" Dan Vasc has convinced me that archangels sing metal. *maravilhoso, incrível*
Dan indeed brings new life to this song. Even the instrumentals sat out to listen before eagerly joining him in song. This is one I can listen to all year long & never grow bored. Loved your comments & reaction. Get well soon!
The choral section was Brazilian Portuguese. The first was Italian, the second was German, then Portuguese, English and the chorus was in Latin. This man is amazing. He has said that he sang it in those languages because most of his fans could understand at least one of them.
First time I drove to Vegas thru AZ and NM after hearing his version I actually FELT those verses about angels singing and mountains echoing!! It was awesome and I had to put song on my Bluetooth and belt it out a hundred times while driving thru that area lol
Dan crushed it once again...Dan never disappoints. ..beautiful voice, beautiful man beautiful soul...sending this sweet man love from America 🇺🇸 ❤️ ❤😅😊 May God bless you always 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 😊
Always a wonderful surprise with EVERY song he performs! He's obviously enjoying this beautiful hymn. And so are we. I'm glad you're feeling better, Daniel. ❤
Hey man I love your reaction on Dan So respectfull Henaing in 4 languages : Iralian ,German , Portugese and ofcourse English Happy holidays and have a perfect day take care Respect from North Macedonia ✌️
The consensus on "Viking Reacts" was that Dan Vasc's angel wings would be white with metal-gray feather tips. I'd have to agree. A Dan Vasc action figure would have... like... a blue light saber... unless we're talking Middle Earth, then Sindar elf definitely. Oh no -- fanboy-glimbal-lock! Houston, I'm nerd-spiraling! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! ••• Merry! CHRISTMAS!!!
for something different Dan, check out Dan Vasc and Minniva or any of Orion's Reign videos, Dan was the session singer for a while.. for session read lead.. a Greek Band and Minniva is Swedish Dan of course Brazilian..so be prepared and watch Santa Clause is coming to town.. I promise you won't be disappointed.. glad you feeling better love from UK
Since the Christmas season hit, I've been seeing all sorts of comments whenever I've been watching reactions to Christmas songs, that are showing the wrong terms for the things that appear and/or occur in several of the songs--mostly Dan Vasc's version of "Angels We Have Heard on High." There seems to be a general confusion over the terms "CHORAL" (often misspelled "CORAL," which is the plant that grows into beautiful formations in salt water), "CHOIR," and "CHORUS." Those three words are tied together, in that they all have to do with MUSIC and SONGS. They are not interchangeable, however. - - - - - - - - - - 1) CHORAL ... stands for anything that has to do with the production of a song or a piece of music that contains one or more songs that have lyrics. Any one of those songs may be sung by a single person or any number of people. Usages: "That choral presentation contains six songs, that tell an entire story." "That piece of music is a great choral arrangement." - - - - - - - - - - 2) CHOIR ... stands for the multiple people who get involved in a choral presentation. If there is a single person singing a song, the word "choir" would not be applied. A choir needs at least two people, because it is a group term. Usages: "I could be (and have been numerable times throughout my life) a choir member. The choirs were created, and I joined the other members, in order to present choral arrangements." "A choir director (one who teaches, organizes, and/or conducts a choir) will usually choose each choir member after a choral audition. - - - - - - - - - - CHORUS ... As you can see, the root of this word is the same as with "choral" and "choir." However, it has to do strictly with the words/lyrics of the song/songs included in any choral arrangement. Typically, a song will contain at least two (usually poetic) VERSES. Sometimes there is also a chorus (which can be sung either by a soloist or a choir). This can have the same type of rhythm and/or rhyming pattern, or it may not. It's not a verse, but it's also not sung just ONCE in any song. In order to be considered a CHORUS (rather than a third, fourth, etc. verse), it has to be repeated, meaning that the chorus is sung at least twice. A chorus can also be called a REFRAIN. - - - - - - - - - - So...since we're referring to Dan's version of "Angels We Have Heard on High" here, I'll now provide a simplified (all English) portrayal of the lyrics, the way they would be written for a singing group, if they already knew the tune/music by heart...in other words, just the lyrics, in the order in which they should be sung. When Dan sings the song (which has four official verses), in four different languages, I'm not sure, but I THINK he's singing ONLY the first verse, because he ends up in English, with the first verse of the song. I would imagine he did not start in Italian with the fourth verse, then switch to German using the third verse, then to Portuguese singing the second verse, just so he could switch to English for the first verse...though he may have. I didn't take the time to go check that out. However, I DO know that after every verse (which is the way the song is always sung), the CHORUS has been sung. A chorus may be sung by any number of appointed people, and its words will always be the same, as you'll see. In this case, the words to the CHORUS ("Gloria in excelsis deo") are ALWAYS sung in Latin. The direct translation is, "Glory in high God." However, we generally think of it as being, "Glory to God in the highest!" or "Glory to the Great High God." By the way, it's very much a THING, that anyone who DOES sing the chorus for "Angels We Have Heard on High" does NOT take a breath anywhere during the word "Gloria," which is greatly extended. Dan portrays that unwritten rule PERFECTLY. In Dan's version, he HAS "planted" a CHOIR of unseen "Little Dans" (grin) singing in light harmony behind his SOLO of the CHORUS. - - - - - - - - - - Basic English Lyrics for "Angels We Have Heard on High" Verse 1: Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains, and the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains: Refrain (CHORUS): Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Verse 2: Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be which inspire your heav'nly song Refrain (CHORUS): Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Verse 3: Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the new-born King Refrain (CHORUS): Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Verse 4: See Him in a manger laid, Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth! Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, sing with us our Savior's birth Refrain (CHORUS): Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Loved your reaction. Dan is singing in Italian, German, Portuguese, and English with the chorus in Latin. The word choral as in chorus. Pronounced just like coral in the Great Barrier Reef. The choir effect is Dan singing his own backup by recording multiple tracks.
I remember hearing Dan say that the “choir” were 60 separate tracks of himself

“Choral,” from “chorus.” Great, great reaction to a glorious performance!
