@stevenciccone8963 Жыл бұрын

Hi Peter I have known Whit for most of my life. We had a party in FL for one of her career anniversaries and her MD (who did the charts for this told us two things that were remarkable. She listened to the track once and went into the booth and smashed it in one take. She was in & out of the building in less than 30 minutes. The other strange thing was the orchestra hated it because Whit wanted the time signature changed to 4:4. 😮 On a personal note, being close to her when she sang was like getting hit with a freight train of sound. Always amazing & very moving.

@marisagettas Жыл бұрын

Also, famously, she changed the time signature of the anthem. It gives her more room to play around. It was all her idea, too. Normally it’s sung in 3/4, but she changed it to 4/4. Not many thought it was a good idea, but she stuck to her guns and delivered this masterpiece ❤

@benebacher2470 14 күн бұрын

It was actually arranged by Jazz bassist John Clayton. That’s why it’s in a different meter and the harmonies from the orchestra are quite different from the ones you would expect.

@kellicvred Жыл бұрын

Fun fact on this: her music team changed the composition from a 3/4 waltz to a 4/4 time, traditionally used in gospel and r&b music, to fit her style and voice. Properly highlight her talent. She also barely rehearsed it with the new time, basically just went out and did it, because she is magical. (All of this is in a documentary). I always found that really interesting, and can hear the difference now.

She's monumentally talented and she will forever be missed.

Pink said it best in an interview recently. Whitney and Chris Stapleton are the only two people who should ever sing the National Anthem now. She also said, why would any singers ever attempt to sing it after he KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. I will say I think Pentatonix also did a great job when they did it recently.

She literally sings by the music, when she gets to gave proof there is an instrument in the same key as she is, so that makes the transition from belting to mixed voice easier because proof is not all head voice I think it's a mixed voice.

I appreciate anyone who sings the anthem as it's written. Too many take unfortunate chances. The first singer I heard who made me enjoy the anthem was Robert Merrill (for the Yankees) - it was much later that I discovered he was an opera singer. It opened my mind up to greater styles of music.
