Love your reaction and analysis! ONE OK ROCK, Japanese band, has a phenomenal vocalist, Taka, he covered *HELLO and Easy On Me - Adele, he can sing it in original key* check them out!! I guarantee you'll be surprised by his unique voice!! Also check their original *Take What You Want - LIVE Tokyo Dome 2018!* their LIVE performances are always top tier. I'd really appreciate it! Thank you, and you'll thank me later
Their Adeste Fideles is beautiful for Christmas. For more every day reactions I would say Lament for the Rohirrim, Lament for Boromir, When the Hammer Falls and someothers I can't remember off the top of my head. If I remember correctly they are all supposed to be brothers, cousins and uncles
There's at least two sisters and possibly a mother(/grandmother?). See 'Arstioir' and 'The Loss of Negankerdak'. I would say about 75% of their songs feature a female voice.
I love this song, but every time I hear it, I'm left with a sense of unimaginable loss and sadness. As if something once-grand and glorious in it's majesty has been forever lost. Fitting for the Dwarfs of Middle-Earth, but amazing that this group manages to give that sense of loss through simple words and notes.
Exactly this... those guys just catch the meaning in Tolkiens words and are able to give them trough voice and music such a life i somewhat feel we get those songs straight from middle earth... and not a distant fantastical world... but the arda which once truely was.
That sense of loss is felt here as well, mate. While we will not see the great Halls lit in this life, someday we may. And to help with the sadness, a note of light is at the end of the story of the dwarves of Middle-Earth. While it is written that they faded away with the increase of Man, this is not meant to say they died out. They simply retreated under the mountains, sensing their time above had run its course. When the history of Middle-Earth had ended recording, they still lived. And maybe some day we shall join them.
I discovered Clamavi de Profundis back in 2015, 2016 with "Song of Durin" as well as "Far over the Misty Mountains Cold" and they have become my to-go band to listen too when I need to decompress or when I need to come down from being overstimulated. To see someone doing a reaction video for these guys, it's amazing. Truly amazing. Thanks, Peter, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to make this video. I greatly appreciate it.
I adore Clamavi De Profundis as a group, they are incredible and I am glad to see you're delving into their content! Edit: I would recommend checking out their rendition of "The Fall of Gil-galad"
Some pretty powerful verses there. I hadn't given English poetry a fair chance until I discovered Tolkien. Just like his prose, it's not rare that it makes you wonder and reflect for a moment before following on.
i think the lowest tones ive heard from this group was a solo in "the lament of boromir" and like. the entirety of "the ent march". cannot even begin to describe how pumped i am to see you dig into this group
As a Tolkien geek, I have to say these guys 'get' Middle Earth in a way very few others have (Howard Shore does, too!). They also do a fair number of Elvish songs, the Lay of Luthien and the Song of Ëarendil (Parts 1-3!). The Dragon is Withered manages to completely redeem some very silly vocals. 😄
I love these guys. They are so talented. I have several of their songs on my playlist.... When The Hammer Falls, Diggy Diggy Hole, and a few others I can't think of right now. They also did.... Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold. All of their songs are dwarven songs.
This is a family singing together, which I just love. They do fantasy music and sacred music. The Reproaches (de Victoria) and the lamentations of Jeremiah are some of my favorites. They also have a Christmas album.
Would love to see you react to Clamavi de Profunis's Negankerdak saga. The songs in order are: "The Loss of Negankerdak", "The Secret of Negankerdak", "The Violation of Negankerdak", and "The Claiming of Negankerdak". Both for the technical aspect of your reaction, but also because I think it's a story worth enjoying.
I love Clamavi de Profundis, and this is such an immensly enjoyable piece. Especially for a Tolkien enthusiast, of course! :) I'm so happy you listen to it and enjoyed it. Your comments about the choir lore and accents are especially welcome, love fun facts!
I love these guys because the get the tone of music in middle-earth; Other groups that have done Tolkien songs while their versions are by no means bad they sound like a bunch of vocalists came together to do a Tolkien song, These guys on the other hand sound like Dwarves reminiscing about days long past & mourning for their lost homelands
I personally love Clamavi de Profundis, I first discovered them before the pandemic, so I’ve elretty much listened to everything they have about the Tolkien universe. I recommend the classic “Far over the misty mountains cold” and they have an extended version that is like 20 minutes long. 20 minutes of pure Dwarfs singing
aragorn's coronation and where there's a whip theres a way and veni veni emmanuel covers are also good, would love to see you react to more of clamavi de profundis.
What I enjoy the most about your videos is that you explain what is happening as the song unfolds. I enjoy learning about different aspects of singing and the music as well. I look forward to what you listen to next. PS: I also enjoy the videos you do with your group, as well!
My brother in law is in this group, and they are distributed in various locations so some of these voices are mixed. If you want to heat the voices, Lamentations of Jeremiah 1:10-14 - Clamavi De Profundis My favorite is Song of Kings. Enjoy!
Two of my favorite songs of there is Dragonshore and Hammer Falls. Both of them are original songs with a dwarf theme. Edit: And if you want to hear their base singers shine, The Ents' Marching Song is a must. Also has call outs in the instruments to the movie music, very nice little Easter Egg.
Clamavi de Profundis is the best!!! Some day when I have a family I would love for us to start producing music together like them, and in the exact same genres! It really can't get much better!
Yea. In my choir altought i am ba baritone, because i can hit 4th and 5th octaves with chest and mix im at tenor1. Also my falsetto is max C6. And my lowest chest is about E2. And with fry i can go to c1 if i am newly awake.
If you want one of their songs focusing more on bass recommend The Ent's marching song. Bilbo's Last Song, The Song of Beren and Lúthien are just some of their excellent library
As I understand it, these guys got their start singing Gregorian chant in the Catholic Church, which may explain why they don’t sing operatic style. (Their very name is a quote from Psalm CXXX.)
You should do a reaction to their version of "The Ent and the Entwife", that one got some really interesting lower parts! Also it just rocks (no pun intended) :D !
Please react to more Eurielle songs, or by Karlienne, or even Erutan who sang Willow Maid(make sure tonwatch the official music video as tells a story via old fashioned art brought to life with a bit of animation)

A lot of the writing of these songs by Tolkien, the word choice and intonation makes even more sense when you realize that he was writing with Old English word choice and sentence structure in mind. Think more German and Norse in syllable pronunciation, English's old word kin.
If you want a good contrast how choral soloists differ from "opera" see the 10 Tenors. The cd I got of theirs struck me as a group that sings at the same time, not singing together.
Посмотрите ещё одного очень талантливого казахского вокалиста. Ему всего 20 лет ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3rKX1bBbc3w.htmlsi=5Rs_OkJy7ItEF9F8
A layperson like me unfamiliar with music or music theory: This pausing and analyzing feels like someone taking a marker and drawing diagrams on the Sistine Chapel or Mona Lisa to explain the architecture and drawing technique. Every fiber of my being is screaming 'blasphemy!'.
Yes, clearly that's only opinion held by every layperson that watches my channel. You are the alpha and the omega, and the only one that matters in the grand scheme. I shall now completely change the way I run my channel based on this comment -- thank you so much for steering me away from darkness.
The use of closing down to the consonants quickly all throughout the piece gives a bit of a “working song” feel. It sounds almost at a rhythm for endurance while doing hard labor (mining and smithing for instance)
love to see someone finally reacting my favourite band of bards on youtube they are really underrated musicians and i would love to see more reactions of them their man thing is dwarvish songs lot of tolkien and fantasy fun fact is that this group are all one family acting as the band
Two recents from them that I love: Namarïe and The Mounds of Mundberg. The latter features Eurielle. Honorable mentions: The Song of Earendil Aragorn's Coronation Song Gaudete Lux Vitae
@PeterBarber I have a recommendation for a potential review and reaction video. Take a look at munx gregoriana's halo theme chant. Imo one of the most breathtaking cover thats been made. It makes you feel like you are stepping into the unknown and explore sights unseen.
К вопросу о хорах и басах: не хотите ли послушать один русский коллектив? Последняя нота там просто нечеловеческая! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xNVPw5ReQHE.html
I loved this! I'm going to look into them more. Would like to see you cover more of. This group. Thanks for a look behind the curtain on how opera voices are selected too!
What are you actually trying to break down? Your deep voice is fucking awesome bro. But doesnt really resonate to your voice. Could you please do your iwn version of Durins song please? Absolutely keen for that. I can hear your bass in your voice just talking. Looking forward to shit you can shiw us all
I highly recommend their composition for "The Battle of Sauron and Finrod Felagund" some nice bass in that one. They have a really fun version of "Diggy Diggy Hole." I love their "Namarie" and "The Song of Beren and Luthien."
They have a low bass but they decided not to have him belt out low notes on this song. In the song the ents are marching he becomes a soloist and sings very low and loud like an octavist.
This is probably about baseline for dwarves, given their culture & lifespan - lots of time for even non singers to pick up the basics without getting fancy.
This fits so well into the world and ambience of the lord of the rings that I can close my eyes and see dwarven miners sing this as they have a break in a particularly resonant mine shaft, deep beneath the earth, where their kind is most at home. These would be the veterans. Men that have plied the rock for so long that their beard is mostly white, experienced and wise in the ways of their kin. Singing a song that is as old as their oldest tales, kept alive in an unbroken chain. This is their creation myth.
I honestly think this song is served better by having no to light bass tones. Other versions just use the song as an excuse to sing in full bass, and it always sounds wrong to me. As if the bass singing is more important than the music.
@@nightspicer Thats my point, they don't use autotune and the result is so much better than all music that is released today which is. CdP you can hear live without getting disappointed, which might not be the case with some other "RU-vid-stars"
Shouldn't you be reacting to live performances since recorded music is definitely pitch-corrected? I know that live performances can be auto-tuned, but still!
Why would I only react to live performances? That seems so limiting. I think it's great to have a mixture of both, and point out to the audience what's different about live vs. studio recordings
@@PeterBarber I understand what you're saying, but please humor me. If I walked into a recording studio, and I can't sing btw, I can record songs and end up sounding even better than you do. If you were to react to my songs, what are you actually evaluating in that case? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just looking for a way to be able to appreciate these kinds of reaction videos. Thank you in advance.
@@khalid969I think it's interesting that you phrase the question this way. "What are you evaluating?" In this example, you've produced a song of some kind (in order to assert "I could sound better than you do"), which means any analysis of the song is still valid. How did you put the phrases of the song together? With all the use of editing software, does the emotion of the song still come through clearly? Is the use of editing software done in an interesting or unique way? Is the song enjoyable to listen to? Electronically produced music is still music, the focus just shifts from "how good is this musician at creating the music (plus all the other aspects of analysis)" to "how good is this musician at arranging the music to do the thing they intended to do"?
@@khalid969 Post production can only be taken so far and still sound natural, you really can't polish a turd. You might be able to make it into something completely different but it's never going to be a good example of the first thing.
