If You Love Me, Really Love Me arr. David Wright 2009 International Chorus Contest - 1st Place Champion Dr. Jim Henry, Director Honda Center, Anaheim, CA
Ah, the beauty of barbershop. This came through on my algorithm while I was writing an email. I wasn't even paying close attention to the song. And all of a sudden my arm hairs were standing on end.
Fantastic voices and arrangement, beautifull sound but I can"t abide watching them, it's all too gushily "joyous" for me. Can't help thinking a similar number of Welshmen could produce just as brilliant a sound moving only their mouths lungs and diaphrams. Still each to their own and, there's no deniying the talent and quality work that's gone into it.
How would you suggest they sing this? Emotionless? Maybe just appreciate the sound if the visual is not to your liking. (Also, Welshmen? Not sure what you mean here.)
