The fabulous VOCES8 & Ringmasters perform Blake Morgan's arrangement of Shall We Gather By The River? 😄 Only Ringmasters are transcribed - you're not going to see me fit 8 more staves on one screen!

Thanks for sharing this George! This could be a good show stopper on quartet+chamber choir shows. Too few of those happening at the moment. But our collaboration will generate more arrangements and compositions like this SSAATTBB+TTBB-version. Could possibly shorten the gap between the Barbershop and classical choir world. And it will benefit all cause it's so dang fun!

@loopyzreal 7 ай бұрын

0:42 Not only are they singing an almost justly tuned major chord, but this and the acoustics made such rich harmonics pop out!! I became absolutely speechless when the 6th harmonic (close to a major 9th) popped up here with such clarity…

For real sounded like trumpets from heaven way up on that note lol

@james_subosits Ай бұрын

Oh no, that's not 9th popping out, one of the members of Voces8 is singing that F6. She's just blending it really well with the group so it's just a dash of an extra color.

I hope that barbershop harmony will be more and more intertwined with European choir culture in the upcoming years. I have been working on SATB + TTBB arrangements for 2 years and the result is way better than I expected. Lots of loves from Barbershop Istanbul!
