Every single song is an absolute masterpiece when you sing it, your voice is beautiful, I listened to “all of me” like you suggested and you couldn’t be more right, it was amazing, keep doing what your doing. And once again, wonderful work
it’s been 7 years since this came out and it doesn’t have the views it deserves- holy shit man this is amazing! I struggle singing high as a guy but DAMN that’s a nice tenor voice you have
@@thatguy409 thanks a bunch! Yeah it doesn’t seem to have resonated much with folks. But that’s ok. You might also like my recent arrangement of “All of Me”, which is also on my RU-vid. Another men’s chorus thing.
@@thatguy409 It may be available at my website? It was at one point; I’m not in a position to check at the moment. If you email me via my website I can help you get your hands on it one way or the other.
Not something I expected to see, but genuinely enjoyed this the whole way through! Always a pleasure to hear what vocal performances you upload to RU-vid. Please never stop sharing your creations :)
Thanks for the encouragement Sam! This arrangement is actually a few years old now; it had to sit on the back burner while I was finishing my PhD. Apart from this my rate of production slowed considerably these past few years, because things just take longer for me now. I’m trying to create things that stretch my imagination, and sometimes that means crawling before I can walk (figuratively speaking). I also labor over things way more than I used to, months and more than a year in a couple cases. I don’t like to share until I’m satisfied you know?
I keep I finding myself watching this video and am blown away every time. I’m part of a vocal quartet and was wondering if you would be alright with us using it for performance?
Late last year, I completed a commission for an expansion of this tag into a full piece of music! However you’ll have to wait to get your hands on it, as the quartet requested an exclusivity hold on it until they can perform it. so… hang in there!
@@spanishjaco8493 From what I understand of our last communication, it may very well be toward the latter half of this year at the earliest. So you may be waiting a while. However I have a couple other things I hope to make available a bit sooner than that, so keep your eyes open for a couple new things in the front half of the year!
Oh my! I had no idea until right this moment that this beautiful piece existed. I've heard the tag but never the full piece. Wow this really tugged at my heart strings! You are such a talent!❤
Right there with you Gloria. Found it just today. It's been a while since a song has touched me so profoundly and deeply, while not really knowing why. This will cause great reflection in my personal life. And I don't know if that is good or bad, but I shed some much needed tears today. Peace.
Hey Stephan, that’s a damn pretty good recording and an awesome tag now granite hopefully you join the barbershop Harmony society, and continue doing arrangements and singing and four-part harmony barbershop style
Hey Stephan, Just wanted you to know that this is the version I keep coming back to again and again. Something about this performance is electrifying, in a way that even Tim Waurick can't quite match (despite delivering an incredible performance of his own). Absolutely magical.
