Vocalist Reacts to The Tabernacle Choir | Amazing Grace

Previous tab choir member here, they actually do one on one evaluations to determine your brightness, vibrato, etc and let you know what they require in order to achieve this level of unity. This choir is an army of humble singers, doing whatever they can to share beauty with the world, it was an absolute honor to be a part of it 🥰❤️🙏🏻

[@gracemacdowell861]

I read somewhere that they use a specific singing method. Would that be the Bel Canto style? Whatever it is, it WORKS BEAUTIFULLY. Thank you for your service in the Choir.

When two or more voices sing the exact same note in a choir, a physiological occurrence happens called “toning” where their voices become one. The oneness of this choir is unparalleled perfection and seems to have the power to transport all listening through the doors of heaven and into the very presence of Almighty God. Their oneness invites all into a oneness with Him.🤍

[@daphneraven6745]

that’s true, but there’s more: you get frequencies that are created beyond that which is individually sung; I can’t help but think that those really matter as well. Frequency affects what we can feel and perceive, and well-being.

Sorry you have hit a rough spot in your earthly life. May I add my testimony, unbidden as it is, that life is perfectly fair. Isaiah 65:17 tells us that this life will be little remembered or ever come to mind in heaven. So, since this world is a do over, nothing that anyone does TO US will affect us eternally. The bad, which is essential to teach us happiness, goes away, while what WE DO, affects us eternally. God can’t help you unless you ask Him to. Free Agency. So ask. He loves you. 😊

[@hi4444ification]

@@Bonbongirly I never said I hit a rough spot lol, my life has been excellent ever since I left. It's so apparent to me that sacrificing my own emotional energy and mental health in exchange for some fancy underwear was not what I needed to improve. I needed freedom and less obligation. The return on investments were horrid, I never felt that I benefited by attending and participating. With that being said, I'm not against anyone attending and continuing to go if it does work for them. I just think it's odd that God created all of us to be completely unique, and then for some reason the benefits of church only benefit a person where it comes easy to them. Infinite ways to grow up≠one set of rules for success.

[@Bonbongirly]

@@hi4444ification I’ve felt that too. I quit going for a few years when my kids were little, it was just too hard. I’ve never felt that the church was for Gods aggrandizement.

As long as you are good to others and love others, God will accept you.😊

[@toddfurse9843]

This is wonderful, Charlie. In the mid-to-late 1800s my 5th Great Grandfather, Harrison Burgess, and his father constructed and ran a saw mill at Pine Valley in Southwestern Utah, not too far from St. George. This and other operations were built in this high mountain valley because its steep canyons made the pine trees grow tall and straight, with fewer knots, as they reached for sunlight. Some of the timber they cut and milled was shipped by wagon over 300 miles north to Salt Lake City where it was delicately carved into the organ pipes seen now in the Tabernacle. The men and women who were sent as pioneer missionaries to the desert regions by Brigham Young carved out of rock and clay, in extreme poverty and with little more than hand tools, many beautiful cities for their progenitors and temples to their God. Those organ pipes stand as a testament to their dedication and sacrifices. I love to hear them every time I get a chance. If you ever get that chance, take it!

By the way, if you want to really be moved, come out to Utah and attend one of their Christmas concerts. They are spectacular! With all of the attention you have brought, I suspect someone in the Choir could arrange for you to attend (tickets are free but in very high demand).

The end of the video had me absolutely balling.

So beautiful! I've watched them in person a couple times and it's like nothing else. That feeling you're feeling is the spirit touching your soul.

[@cheriejohnson7520]

I just recently found your channel because of The Tabernacle Choir. I am very happy to see and hear your thoughts on them as they have been a part of my life. Your kind thoughts and comments are very much appreciated. I hope that the Lord blesses you and keeps you. ❤

Charlie, that’s not just the choir that is working on your heart. It’s the Holy Spirit. 💜

[@WilliamHarl]

ABSOLUTELY!!

[@gokaury]

The power of the Spirit is amplified through their performances.

[@larrykirk64]

It's so powerful, not only because of the harmony and tone, but when one sings, prays or speaks of God, in faith, the Holy Spirit testifies of His divinity and that is by feelings of love and joy. It multiplies the beauty.

Homeward bound ~ Tab Choir. It is my favorite

[@devonbennion68]

The arrangement is more than genius. Inspired.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

People are so extra 😂. I literally give the highest praise possible and it's still not good enough for you 🙄

[@devonbennion68]

@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I’m agreeing with you. I like your videos. You love the song, I love it too. Why so salty? 💀 if the song draws people to lasting peace, that count as inspired in my book.

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

@devonbennion68 lol I'm not salty at all. I'm just playing around..

[@GldnClaw]

@@TheCharlieSmithChannel All good. Everyone has fun little tweaks of wording for high praise.
