I go back to these guys any time that I need to hear a clear voice in my life. Their harmonies are some of the most lush and beautiful mingling of voices that I have ever heard. Good on you, lads.
The first time I ever heard the song WAS the barbershop arrangement. I was at Director's College in 2001 and Saturday Evening Post was just there hanging out. They sang this in the lobby of the cafeteria and I was standing there leaning against a post with tears streaming down my face. I was so touched and amazed it was so beautiful.
vocal Spectrum is still singing together. I don't think they'll be breaking up anytime soon. You might think that because Tim Waurick sings with lots of other quartets as a sub in tenor... he also did the "Fantasy Quartet" gig... but that was a one time thing.
Ohhhh! That's right :-) It's been a while since my choir days, haha! I love it when knowledgeable people explain things without being condescending! You're awesome! Go team MeatLover!
Is a song must be impressive to be great ?? It's nice to see a baritone singing the solo and Tony has a very nice voice. But they did a very good job here...
I know lol. I was talking about Tony De Rosa (baritone of Platinum). Platinum : solo = baritone --> great... Vocal Spectrum : solo = tenor --> great...
@skykai125 who are these guys?!?! seriously? this is Vocal Spectrum. A very awesome barbershop quartet. (At least that part should have been obvious. Ha ha!)
Nah. His breath support is just freakin' insane!!!! You should hear his longest posts...they're kinda ridiculous!! I know people that can circular breathe, but they're typically oboists and didgeridoo-ists. But it's pretty cool to see it done, though it it impossible to circular breathe when singing.
Hmmm... I think barbershopping up THAT particular song would get a lot of purists' backs up. It's regarded by many as sacred in its original format. For his part, Tim does a fantastic job on his solo!
Circular breathing is not possible while phonation is occuring :-) Isn't circular breathing a choir term, meaning you create the illusion that no one ever stops to take a breath by having everyone breathe in a different place on a sustained phrase? I could be wrong, but that's what I thought.
I'd like to see you try to go longer than 18 seconds IN falsetto! It takes alot more out of you than a full voice post. I know as I sing barbershop tenor. I can belt out a high A and hold it for 30 seconds. Doing a strong falsetto, you're lucky if you can hold half that.
