I started singing in 2002 when I was casted as... Harold Hill in The Music Man, back in college. It's where I heard this barbershop tune for the first time and was bit by the barbershop bug. :)
My dad was heavily into barbershop in the 1950s, and the Buffalo Bills, the quartet for whom Willson wrote those roles and music, and who played the school board both on Broadway and in the original movie, were good family friends. My dad coached them when they were putting that together, and this is perfect-the closest recreation to the original Lida Rose part of it that I've heard (and I wore out two LPs of the soundtrack as a kid!). I got goosebumps listening, because I recognized a few of the things that my dad suggested that they do with the text. I could hear the Buffalo Bills in our living room with me listening through the bedroom door!! Merci Julien!
@@JulienNeel They were lovely people. They would let me sing with them--Al Shea was my favorite because he would play with me when they were at our house.
@@ginabalestracci140 So nice of them to sng along with you. Al Shea seemed to have a built-in smile on his face, looks like the photos didn't lie! How was Verna Reed, loud? My favorite voice in the group was that of Dick Grapes, their baritone. His delivery on Climb Every Mountain was so smooth. I would have loved to sing with these guys. You don't hear barbershop like that nowadays.
The Music Man is one of my two favorite musicals of all time (the other being The Phantom of the Opera), and this is a wonderful rendition of these songs... Julien, your range never ceases to amaze me, Elena's voice is so airy and almost magical, and Christy Lyn's piano backing ties it all together so beautifully. Nicely done, you three.
The movie soundtrack of The Music Man was one of the few records we had when I was a kid. We watched it every time it came on TV., and our hometown was mentioned in the song Iowa Stubborn. My parents both died a few years ago about this time of year (March/April). This excellent version brought memories to me and tears to my eyes. Thank you all for for creating it. It has the power to move people all these years later.
My school just did Music Man as our musical this weekend. Apparently, it's the third time our school has done it. This was my favorite song from the musical and I love this version of it. You're all so incredibly talented and I love your harmonies.
That is the best rendition of one of my all-time favorite show tunes that I've ever heard! Julien's cover of The Buffalo Bills' rendition is spot-on - but don't believe for a moment that this is all he can do, because if you watch some of his other videos, you'll astounded by his mastery of American barbershop harmony, just as I am. Elena's performance is so sweet she brought a tear to my eye - it felt like she was singing directly to me! And Christy's heartfelt piano is much more than accompaniment; it elevates the whole performance to a higher level. You three are truly a musical Dream Team!
Thanks Mark. :) If you care to support my music and help me continue making these videos, you can pledge a little something on my Patreon page: patreon.com/trudbol Thanks. :)
I am SO impressed with these talented musicians! I love barbershop, sing women's barbershop, and am so glad this method of singing is still alive and growing. (And Julien, you are terrific!)
I loved the whole thing, Elena was wonderful & Christy Lyn's piano was flawless, good timing & just spot on. Julian I salute you, nice job & thank you for making the world just a little bit more beautiful.
Having been a Barbershopper from longer ago than I care to mention, our chorus performed this with our sister Sweet Adelines chorus many times. It always came out well. This rendition makes me want to be part of the School Board in The Music Man....
Without a question, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on youtube. Do you guys have any idea how good you are? The very definition of perfection. Julien, your channel is truly one of the best and finest music channels on youtube, period! Congratulations to all 3 of you for superb performance.
Totally delicious update from the lovable Lida Rose you did 4 years ago, especially the addition of the two angels in white. Dazzling job ladies & one of your best ever Julien.
In my very early teens, the mid 50's, my parents took me to see the Music Man stage show in London, and of all the fine music from the show Lida Rose and Barber-Shop had the greatest effect on me. And to this day (August 2023) it has remained one my personal favourites and a song I still sing or hum sometimes. Thank you Meredith Willson for educating me and kindling my appreciation for this music. long live Barbershop Harmony.
In no way could you three be aware of the pain you are healing: I've lost two heart-friends whom I associate with this song. You are giving them back to me. God bless you!
I absolutely love this! I used to sing "Lida Rose" to my little ones (now BIG ones) way back then. Thanks so much for using your talents in such a way and putting this on. Bravo!!!
God know how many times this cover has beat the original. Safe to say this is the most beautiful song I've heard. I'm really tempted by House's crystal-like voice. Thank you Julien for putting this together.
I cannot find the correct words to describe the talent included in this "web site". My God, you all make me wish I had some kind of musical talent, so badly..........every talent offered was beyond beautiful. Thanks so much, Dianne Wright
Amazing performance by all....but Julien brother....not because I like the Music Man, but because I love Barbershop. You are absolutely amazing...it reminded me of my Dad back when he was with the local Barbershop here in the Huntington, WV area...so many wonderful memories of the competitions, and the awesome sound...I can't thank you enough
Wow, Brought back some great memories. I shed a tear during this great performance, and not ashamed to say!! Makes me think of the great memories when I was in this show and was the high tenor. Thank you for this Julian!
AWESOME, been watching acapella and barbershop videos for a few days and this is by far the best in every way, perfect mix of voices and christy is wonderful on piano, thankyou so much for uploading, made my day
My two favorite videos on TH-cam are this one and your collaboration performance of "You Can Fly". Thank you, Julien. Thank you for doing so much to share this wonderful genre of music!
And the singer who sang Marian's part was absolutely perfect for it! The people below don't know what they're talking about. Her voice was pure, sweet, and just... breathtaking! She sounded like a professional. Keep making amazing music!!
Why can't we all just get along? Because there are at least two versions of the Golden Rule. One version is: If there is something you like, make sure everyone else who wants it can have it too. Another version is: If there is something you like, make sure everybody else has it too, whether they like it or not.
Thank you Dianne. :) You can extent your appreciation by buying some of my releases and encouraging more productions like these. The download link is in the video description below the video. Thank you for supporting a cappella music. :)
Thanks so much for replying, Julien. I can usually pick out the tenor and bass, because you (like most of us) tend to open your mouth a bit wider for particularly low or high notes. Now maybe I can stop obsessing about it! Thanks for posting so much delightful music. This collaboration was an enjoyable variant.
Brilliant perfomance Elena your soprano voice is lovely - Stunning performance from Julien & Christy compltes this wonderful perfomance How was the split screens done and so perfectly synchronised?
groms0909 Thanks so much to both of you :) If you're interested in finding out more about multitracking you can search for tutorials on TH-cam, there are many!
@@JonaVicis Jon! It was joke and ery complex in the satire. I have been watching Lida Rosa by Miss Elena house for 6 years! When I was in 6th grade we did hte Music Man as our play, I was on stage crew. I tried to be winthrop but got beat ot by a kid named Jim.
Bonjour Julien, Thanks to Elena House who is a very dear TH-cam and Facebook friend and whom I have had the good fortune to know ever since she started out on her musical journey, I was able to hear this absolutely fantastic collaboration between you, Christy Lyn and Elena. Really loved it and look forward to hearing more of your wonderful voice and some more great collaborations. Wishing you all the best. Prochy (I have sent you a Friend Invite on Fb. Hope you will accept it). :)
I was wonderin when you were gonna record this classic Barbershop quartet. Your performance was immaculate, Julien! I liked the editing too. Clearly a work of love.
Julien, thanks for the sweet memory!!! I used to sing this when I was with the Adelines (baritone), and also attended all the men's events. I'm not a soprano, but the top note is only an F or F#, so I was okay. And Marian is an old maid, so my plummy voice sounded alright. The attention you give to video editing, production details, hair, and costumes in these videos is really exceptional! Your enthusiasm & passion is to be commended.
OMG! I just discovered this clip. What a joy!! One of my favorite pieces of musical theatre! Julian, I have also enjoyed your other videos like the LES MIZ one and your other babershop quartet pieces. Thanks for putting these out.
The pleasure was shared Elena! You & Christy-Lyn are talented musicians, fun and easy to work with. I look forward to more projects with each of you. :)

Hi Julien, It was so nice working with you and Christy-Lyn! :)
Have a great day!
~Elena~
When they hit that note "fine" ~
That was the pinnacle of this song, to me.
What a beautiful rendition of this counterpoint with barbershop quartet shop. This is better than some theater production versions I have head.
The Music Man is one of my two favorite musicals of all time (the other being The Phantom of the Opera), and this is a wonderful rendition of these songs... Julien, your range never ceases to amaze me, Elena's voice is so airy and almost magical, and Christy Lyn's piano backing ties it all together so beautifully. Nicely done, you three.
This is the most wholesome video on TH-cam
Thank you! It was a bit of work putting this together, glad you enjoy the result!
The way Elena holds that last note gives me the shivers.

Aww thanks for your kind words, we are humbled
Oh my gosh, Elena's voice is simply magnificent, so clear, and pure! Some of the most beautiful singing I've ever heard.
I agree it's spectacular. But try Elly Ameling 😄
Loved when youtube was more of this and less 60 second tiktok clips. This is delightful!
I love "The Music Man".....It was my first introduction to Barbershop and now I love it!
WOW! It's awesome! Julien always does good work, but the young lady singing with him . . . I'm very impressed. Beautiful and sings like an angel.
My school just did Music Man as our musical this weekend. Apparently, it's the third time our school has done it. This was my favorite song from the musical and I love this version of it. You're all so incredibly talented and I love your harmonies.
Well I have now had to make a playlist of this song 17 times so my newborn can listen and stay calm :p So lovely.

A Cappella Trudbol i was literally just in the Music Man this weekend and Lida Rose is by far my fave song and keep up the good work ;)
I am SO impressed with these talented musicians! I love barbershop, sing women's barbershop, and am so glad this method of singing is still alive and growing. (And Julien, you are terrific!)
Thanks for your kind words Patti! Plenty more barbershop & a cappella covers on my channel. :)
Absolutely fantastic! This is one of the best songs from 'The Music Man',and you all nailed it!
I like Elena's soprano. When she hits the high notes I feel light-headed.
The best Barbershop song. Thanks.
Haven't heard Lida Rose since I was a boy! Such good memories I have of my father when I hear this! Thanks for uploading this Julian!
Hard to believe this was 9 years ago. 2013. Wow! Still one of my favourites. :)
wow and a half. now i can tell people what the perfect female voice sounds like. thank you Elena House.
Such a soothing voice from Elena. I usually love listening to Julien, but these three elements put together make quite a soothing song.
His voice just killed me and sent me to heaven.
Forget his! How about HERS?!
Devon Hughes ngl, didn’t feel her voice. Her soprano is awesome, but meh
Every time I think I've found my favourite of your songs, I find another and love it even more.
This is one of my favorite pieces from "The Music Man" and you three have done it as well as in the movie. Bravo!
Ladies and gentleman, I present you the voice of an Angel
I loved the whole thing, Elena was wonderful & Christy Lyn's piano was flawless, good timing & just spot on. Julian I salute you, nice job & thank you for making the world just a little bit more beautiful.
This is so beautiful...absolutely flawless.
Ever since God Only Knows I've just been stuck listening to these songs. I can't believe how amazing your talent is.
This is my favorite duet EVVVVVVERRRR!!!! You folks NAILED it... brought tears to my eyes!!!🥲
Having been a Barbershopper from longer ago than I care to mention, our chorus performed this with our sister Sweet Adelines chorus many times. It always came out well. This rendition makes me want to be part of the School Board in The Music Man....
Ohl Christy-Lyn! Just found you here! Fantastic! Thank you so much for your talent and your gifts! Wonderful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Share it with friends & download our song on BandCamp (great way to support the musicians). )
Dude as a good singer I can say u are fantastic! Great job
Julien and his friends produce such marvelous music and videos! These gems show the power of the internet to allow real talent to shine.
Now I know I"ve died and gone to heaven. Truly the voice of an angel. So pure and clear.
Without a question, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on youtube. Do you guys have any idea how good you are? The very definition of perfection.

Yunkai Zhai You heard the man Indeed it stands among the most beautiful, ever. What's the story behind this jewel?
Julien did great (as always) and so did Elena and Christy-Lyn.
My all time favorite, I keep coming back to listen to it.
I tried to think of just one word to describe Elena's voice, and I can't. Two words- heavenly and luscious, seem to be as close as I can get.
I cannot find the correct words to describe the talent included in this "web site". My God, you all make me wish I had some kind of musical talent, so badly..........every talent offered was beyond beautiful. Thanks so much, Dianne Wright
I love everyone in that video as individual singers and when they join together, they blew me away!
Amazing performance by all....but Julien brother....not because I like the Music Man, but because I love Barbershop. You are absolutely amazing...it reminded me of my Dad back when he was with the local Barbershop here in the Huntington, WV area...so many wonderful memories of the competitions, and the awesome sound...I can't thank you enough
Fantastic arrangement !!! True four-part harmony & when it was combined with the melody.....WOW!!!
Wow, Brought back some great memories. I shed a tear during this great performance, and not ashamed to say!! Makes me think of the great memories when I was in this show and was the high tenor. Thank you for this Julian!
As a former "Harold Hill" way back in the early 80's, I absolutely love this, Julien.
Well done, and keep surprising us!
AWESOME, been watching acapella and barbershop videos for a few days and this is by far the best in every way, perfect mix of voices and christy is wonderful on piano, thankyou so much for uploading, made my day
Absolutely superb! Shirley Jones and the Buffalo Bills would be proud. Excellent rendition of this timeless classic.
This is so cool that you bring people from different countries together to sing! Can people volunteer to do songs? :)
I'm impressed! I haven't seen anyone who could cover this and sound perfect!
Thanks! :)
Wow! I've seen some renditions of one person doing all parts recorded over each other, but you've got the best blend by far. Good work!
I've never heard this before, but I can never get enough of this. It's so beautiful that I can't help but love it.
My two favorite videos on TH-cam are this one and your collaboration performance of "You Can Fly". Thank you, Julien. Thank you for doing so much to share this wonderful genre of music!
I can't stop watching this, it's so beautiful! I cry every time!

OH WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVED IT. MY FAVORITE BARBERSHOP PIECE DONE AS I'VE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD IT BEFORE. WOW! HOW WONDERFUL!
the quartet was just fantastic!! you sounded JUST LIKE the Buffalo Bills, it's amazing how close the sound matches the original
Loved it! Well done! Nothing like a SUPER Barbershop from across the world!
I love the intro, high pitch introduction, followed by another high pitch introduction, followed by low pitch introduction.
Great Song!
The world can sing together. Why can't we all just get along? Beautiful!!
Why can't we all just get along?
Because there are at least two versions of the Golden Rule. One version is: If there is something you like, make sure everyone else who wants it can have it too. Another version is: If there is something you like, make sure everybody else has it too, whether they like it or not.
I would write a comment, but i don't know what i should write, because there is no word in the vocabulary to describe how good you are !
Just delightful, thank you all for sharing with us.
Julien - you rock, really great stuff!!!
I was in the barbershop quartet in my school play and these videos helped me so much! Thank you julien!!!
Good thing the videos are still there! :)
Just delightful! Thank you.

The duet part is so beautiful!
I am in love with Elena House. I guess one could say, it's love at first sight.
That would be lust at first sight. Get to know her before you say you love her..but I hope the best for you two!
