It was a pleasure working with you on this, Jenn! Looking forward to more collaborations in the future! 🔥

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

For sure!😁 thank you for the wonderful chat!

[@abeldiaz3877]

I'd love a duet! It'd be awesome.

[@austindermody302]

Just subbed brother. Can't wait to see your and Jen's other reaction on your channel. I'm very curious to see what the song's gonna be.

[@DennisKovacich]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer, I think you’re the first reactor I’ve heard actually mention his “ri … ver.” I was hoping to hear if there’s a name for that technique. I think he’s used it a few times, but the one I remember for sure was in “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.”

[@martymiller9802]

It is after all, about a River. Thank you Jenn for doing this one, and for introducing Ethan to me.

[@Badger77722]

"Smooth". I think that may be the best overall description of Geoff's voice, when he's not actually rumbling around with sub-harmonics (which, simply because they rumble so much, I couldn't really describe as smooth). But in his normal range, all the way up to his tenor range, everything else he does is just so smooth that if you didn't want to keep listening, you might use it as a lullaby to put you to sleep at night.

[@ilonadever8249]

You said he was singing with passion. He said in his Patreon introduction that he didn't expect this one to be very popular, but that his wife, Kathy, liked it. That was good enough! It was only him and Kathy in the studio that day. After baritone Geoff finishes his solo, choral Geoff does that beautifully disonant section, my very favorite part!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Yes, love that part! 😁

[@marshayoung9387]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer Geoff has a way of reaching deep down into your soul. Thank you for another great reaction to Geoff.

[@DennisKovacich]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer, Geoff has a video where he and Kathy talk about her hearing loss and how they’re dealing with it. In that video, he shows a clip from the filming of this video to show that the piano he was playing was very badly out of tune. I’m amazed that he wasn’t wincing hearing how bad it sounded!

[@sharonleath1232]

Two of my favorite reactors! Thank you both for an enjoyable analysis. Geoff's voice is smooth as butter.

[@par500dragon7]

I sang this many times in college and afterward, so I have a sentimental attachment to it. But objectively, I think this one of Geoff's most beautiful songs.

[@christinestromberg4057]

In Geoff's interview with Peter Barber he explains why he doesn't see himself as a bass singer. It makes perfect sense. I recommend that you watch that. This is another favourite of mine. It's so beautiful, both the sound and the appearance. So gentle and understated.

[@deanmarion5477]

What do think about Ethan Drew about vocal stacking ( what is P.O.V or Peter Barber P.O.V)

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Yes! Such a great interview!

[@EthanDrewMusic]

@@deanmarion5477t’s a great way to build intensity, and it also paves the way for performers/singers to harmonize! I am a proponent of stacking, and I plan to use it in my future music. 🙂

[@rmdewberry2482]

A Geoff fave! So, so lovely. Geoff #2 is one of my fave registers for him.

[@girlonfireproductions]

I love this cover by him- it’s such a sweet song! When that higher verse comes in and he sounds so beautiful… it gets me every time 😢

[@AngieCHolland]

Geoff’s voice suits this song beautifully, doesn’t it? Out of curiosity I read a bit about this song, as it has been around a long time. I think you might find this “analysis” from an old book about American folk songs interesting: “The sonorous succession of long vowels and soft and liquid consonants blend perfectly with the romantic air.” I live in an historic town right on the Missouri River. Listening to this has me looking forward to the cooler days of fall when the leaves are awash in color and the air is crisp, taking a walk beside the wide Missouri River. ❤

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ooh that sounds lovely!! And love that boy of info! Thank you ❤️

[@craigcook1350]

Always love watching your reactions, Jen - and really enjoyed your back and forth with Ethan in this one! As great as Geoff’s subterranean low notes are, I personally enjoy his mid-range the best. It’s so ridiculously smooth!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@b.buster.]

Is this a sneaky throwback reaction? Well done.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Indeed!!

[@bjspeck4337]

I really enjoyed your combined reaction and analysis. This was very enjoyable. Please do it again occasionally. Geoff was complaining that this piano was not tuned to the correct Hertz which made him work harder for notes that are normally known to him. Being off a quarter or half tone must be tricky. Shenandoah was done as a request from his wife, Kathy. Peter Barber just had a chat with Geoff which is an hour of interesting bits. He talked to Geoff about his assertion that he is really a baritone. Peter wouldn't have that and that was worth the price of admission. Bye, Jen and Ethan!

[@EthanDrewMusic]

Prior to the 1920’s, the A4 note was tuned to 432hz, which is why music prior to this time seemed to always be slightly flat/lower in pitch. During the roaring 20’s, the music industry began gravitating to a tuning of 440hz for that same note, A4, which raised the pitch slightly, and resulted in all subsequent music sounding a bit higher/sharper in pitch. There were artists who continued to sing/perform in 432hz tuning; however, they were few and far between after the 20’s. Since almost no one alive has seen the days where 432hz tuning was the norm, it is completely normal for artists today to have some issues sticking to the pitches, seeing how 432hz tuning is a foreign concept to a number of them. 🙂

[@bjspeck4337]

@@EthanDrewMusic What cool info. I suspect that piano is dated back to then.

[@rhov-anion]

Oooh, I have the exact same blouse as you, it's one of my favorites and it looks lovely on you. Just wanted to tell you that, Jenn. Anyway! I love when he layers, echoes, and those chords he mixed in to the original to elevate it. Geoff never disappoints in arrangements and of course his VOICE. Side note: I'm so glad Peter Barber finally made it clear to Geoff, he is NOT a baritone, he is most definitely a BASS (and a low one at that). Finally, someone explained it to him from a professional bass singer perspective and not just fans in awe by his subterranean voice!

[@sarawlindgreen3115]

This is one of my favorites of Geoff, and how this cover still hasn't hit a million views at this point is beyond me. It's so beautiful and flowy, and I especially love the high part between the key change that Ethan mentioned and up to the drop into a low note ❤

[@eriklind8489]

This is such a beautiful arrangement of this song....I like how Geoff was very interactive between himselves?. Thank you Jennifer, and Ethan for your insights on this piece.

[@rodconner9079]

Totally enjoyable!!! What Geoff has become or developed into .... It's so good, and tasteful (well placed) -- everything is "fitting". Love it! Be Safe

[@Stan_S_Stanman]

Geoff is definitely a bass, even if he doesnt see himself as one. Peter Barber explained it well. There are different types of bass: some are louder, some have more agility, some are better at singing long lines... No baritone in the world has a usable and singable low G or G# in chest every day.

[@SouthPawBowler24]

Agreed

[@melindam2776]

I don't know. His voice is the warmest, nicest in baritone.

[@Stan_S_Stanman]

By tessitura, he's unequivocally a bass. A low one, at that. If you prefer his timbre in the baritone range, that's a subjective thing 😄 @@melindam2776

[@scott2836]

This is such a wonderful piece of music that leaves room for many interpretations. Peter Hollens has covered it in his higher voice, and it sounds beautiful. “Tennessee” Ernie Ford has a cover version done from his TV show in the 60s that is pitched even lower than Geoff that is awesome (Geoff references Ernie Ford in his interview with Peter Barber, specifically in reference to the song 16 Tons, also performed quite famously by Ernie Ford). An absolutely excellent performance by Geoff and a very, very interesting and informative analysis by you and Ethan.

[@alexwalker8440]

I love this one. It has a very special effect on me. It always makes me cry, but at the same time it leaves me with a calm and warm feeling 😍

[@chih-chaoyang5290]

Wonderful collaboration!! I love this cover and I'm so glad to see you did this one!! The warmth in Geoff's voice and the chord progression are just so good!! Great analysis Jen and Drew!!

[@karingreen396]

This duel reaction is excellent. My first time hearing this song and I love it

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you😊

[@DennisKovacich]

A duel reaction would be if they were fighting over whose reaction was better. This was a dual reaction. 😉

[@ilzeventer4599]

Thank you for this reaction. Listen to you we learn and appreciate a song so much more. This, ome, is oneof his best.

[@theanyktos]

This is one of my Geoff favourites. It's just so calming and beautiful.

[@daventunes3822]

Geoff's letting his barbershop flag fly in a lot of his chording choices in this arrangement.

[@carinarodebak9419]

Love to see this double reaction as I'm following both your channels already. Geoffß versions of Shenandoah is a favourite of mine. So 3 things to enjoy here.❤

[@davidh.4649]

Jennifer! Well this one was interesting! We all have our expectations from Geoff and he didn't disappoint. I know this song well because it was one of my dad's favorites. So many little details in this song, though between you and Ethan I think you caught most of them. 😁 There was one point (12:35) where piano Geoff dropped the half step on the word "Shenandoah" to briefly take the sound minor rather than stay major. Might have been the only thing not commented. Ethan is right there with the note identification isn't he? Great reaction and analysis as always Jennifer! 😊

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oooh nice spot!! And oh yes, very fun ahahha! Thank you😁

[@veronicathunander4579]

This is one of my Geoff favourites, it’s stunning!

[@abeldiaz3877]

I loved this. It'd be phenomenal to have more guests and to do song collabs with them guests as well. Yours and Peter's "Love is an open door" is one of my faves still to this day.

[@TorenRenee]

This is my favorite Geoff song. Thank you for reacting to it!!

[@janetdw]

I also love that beginning with the mmmmmms😊. I never realized that people could harmonize while humming and make it sound anything more than monotonous. I’ve always hated this song as it was the only song our fifth grade teacher had us sing during music class and then I got her again for sixth grade 😡. So I was not ready to actually enjoy this at all but it is Geoff Castelucci piece so I had to listen. I am still haunted by the memories of 30 off key 5th graders, but I do love this version.

[@paulkarch3318]

Really nice and informative analysis for those of us (including me) with no knowledge of the technical aspects of singing.

[@jweisz42]

I've always been a sucker for key changes, and found the one in this song more thrilling than most. As the new key is resolving, there is what I think of as a cymbal "shimmer" followed by the introduction of the low bass instrument (string, synth?) which really put it over the edge for me. Love your analysis and looking forward to more Geoff and Voiceplay.

[@queenofpixels5458]

This is my favorite of all his solo work. Just beautiful.

[@suevillarreal9315]

Oh! I love the dual R&A!! Love it!! Btw, I also watched Peter Barber's conversation with Geoff! Great interview!! I have watched this cover before, but it has been awhile. I love this song and his arrangement of this cover!! His range is off the charts! So amazing!! And exactly, all his vocal dynamics ate amazing!!! Thanks for this very special R&A!!! I hope you are having safe and memorable travels!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Wonderful interview! Thank you 😁

[@creationsbychancecan]

I am so happy you and Ethan are reacting to this song which was first recorded by a fabulous bass Tennessee Ernie Ford. This is one of my absolute all time favorites. I can't wait to see what you and Ethan react to on his channel.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@nickbietz]

CC on in the intro make me laugh every time when it spells your last name Glatt sofa 😂🤣

[@christineschutten248]

This was fun😊 I liked having both of y'all doing the breakdown.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@deanmarion5477]

Love duel reaction, one of melody of the main overall and the bass recapping over the melody to get different angles on the same page. Should every reaction you do, Jennifer Glazhofer should be duel reaction. 🥹

[@stephanginther9051]

I'll once again beg for you to react to 'Wayfaring Stranger - Epic Version' by Simon Khorolskiy and Chris Rupp but on another note, did you know that Geoff did a mini-series on how to sing low? I thinks its two or three videos where he talks about techniques to lower your voice. I bet you'd love going over those videos.

[@stuartfaulds1580]

Jenn ye should also listen to Colm's version of this also featuring his fiance.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@SleepyheadJJC]

Thank you 😊

[@Ironmann-qn9wb]

💯💯💯

[@thatonedude9431]

actually, that F#1 is subharmonics, not chest, but he has hit an F#1 chest in other songs like enemy and superstition with voiceplay

[@dalepettiner5036]

I really liked that tag !

[@SoulFeather111]

I was ready. I said to myself "if she pauses before he starts singing....im out." Still gonna give it a like.

[@inayahayurachmawati2325]

Please reaction Salma Indonesia Idol in Jazz Gunung Bromo sist

[@user-vh6hs9jb7i]

저는 한국 구독자입니다 그의 tictok 영상도 리액션 부탁드립니다! 당신은 그가 커버한 곡의 저음을 라이브로 확인할 수 있습니다!!

[@zitriphyer8429]

19:26 thats actually a subharmonic. But i do believe he has hit a f#1 in chest before.

[@totoro123]

Love the collab, but you're both too nice and agreeing with other all the time 😂

[@daniswara398]

cakra khan auditions in AGT 👍👍

[@abeldiaz3877]

Sorry Jen, but Ethan's channel link seems to be wrong? KZbin says it doesn't exist. Or is it me? I'll delete this message when it gets fixed.

[@AngieCHolland]

Works for me.

[@jairus421]

Love your reactions, Jen, and I hope this doesn't come off as negative. While I enjoyed Ethan's perspective, and while it may be that this was my first real exposure to Geoff, I love it, and I've listened to it many, many, times I feel like there was a lot of this performance that you would have picked out to talk about if you were focused on it and having a conversation with me rather than having a conversation about it with Ethan. The second thumbnail covers up the "fourth Geoff" for the entire video and it's worth seeing. That all having been said, it may be that I'm just jealous and want you all to myself for these things..... Thank you for doing this one. 😍

[@kimlynch5526]

I like Geoff's version but Harry Bellefonte is the best

[@joeseay2883]

Nah.!
