The gentleman standing second from the far left is Jamey Ray, who is the founder of Voctave and the arranger of ALL of their pieces. The group of 11 singers gives him a full range of voices from a basso profoundo to a stratospheric coloratura. He writes his arrangements for this specific set of singers, knowing the capabilities of each. Voctave is primarily a recording group, and this is a video of an actual recording session. Voctave has minimal rehearsal, generally just doing a quick run through before the recording session begins. Sheet music for many of their pieces is available on their website.

In the original Voctave video posted, there is L/R separation in the last four Princess harmony that implies this is a studio recording synchronized with a live studio performance. No matter, it's terrific.

I enjoyed watching your facial expressions and the details you noticed in their wall of sound. Please react to more of their pieces such as; Disney Love Medley, Disney Showstoppers, O Holy Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, Mary Did You Know,, Somewhere and anything else they do. I can't get enough of them.

Their Great Movie Medley which is basically John Williams greatest hits never fails to give me chills!

Welcome to the Voctave Fan Club! They are AMAZING! I am grateful for your appreciation of Chrystal's performance (the gorgeous alto with the rich, warm yet somehow bright beautiful timbre); she does not get enough appreciation or utilization, in my opinion.

That end got you! 😀 Thanks for counting the seconds that the alto singer held the note behind all the other ladies short phrases.

I get to see this wonderful group perform in person in two weeks and I am so excited! Some of the men are highlighted in The Heroes and Villians Medley (audio only) or in the Disney Showstoppers Medley. The Disney Love Medley, Mary Did You Know (feat Mark Lowry the writer of the song) and Someone like Me feat Jody McBrayer I think are some of their best. as I mentioned in another comment the Prince of Egypt Medley would also be wonderful! Welcome to the world of Voctave!!

Great reaction!! Love it! Once it’s closer to the holidays, please react to Mary Did You Know. Kate (the high soprano) hits a G6 midway through the song…it’s unbelievable!!!

Thank you for a thoughtful and insightful reaction. As fun as it is to watch people just be amazed by good music, I especially enjoy those who are able to break it down and make it accessible.

@FroDiKa Voctave is classified as an A Capella Group. Also, it never ceases to amaze me that anyone with any experience in music (I'm a pianist myself), whenever they hear Kate Lott (1st Soprano) go high all they can do is either jaw drop for a minute straight, shake their head in disbelief, or both. Your head shakes were on point because it truly is musically unreal what Kate Lott can do with her voice.

I love Someone Like You and I love their cover of "Remember Me". And "The Great Movie Medley" (Jamie Ray doing his magic again)--I mean, really. Voctave and John Williams. How could you NOT win with that trio--Voctave, John Williams, and Jamie Ray. They knocked it out of the park.

do O Come, All Ye Faithful you think she held a note for a long time you be blown away with the end of that one

Agreed. The note eat the end of that one is incredible and not only the length of the note, but it goes up to a higher note. Absolutely INCREDIBLE.

Fabulous reaction, my music loving friend. Your commentary is very much appreciated. For a change of pace, check out Voctave's latest album, "Goodnight My Someone", that includes the cover of Paul McCartney's "Blackbird". It is short at 3 minutes but quite beautiful.

You've been bit by the Voctave bug ... They are in a class all their own ... Jamie Ray is the composer and one of the tenors ... You have a long way to go, you just scratched the surface
