God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen | Low Bass Singer Cover

[@jacklinka2347]

Imagine a Gothic cathedral in the middle of the night, completely dark and empty; then your suddenly hear an old clavichord and rusty bells starting to play by themselves and the low nice bass starting to sing out of nowhere. The St.Elmo lights are winking from side to side and this ghostly dark but extremely nice voice is singing and echoed back from the high cathedral ceiling vaults. It's singing the old carol, older than the cathedral itself, older than its bells, equal in age to the oldest of ghosts. The carol is ending in an earthy low note, lower and deeper than its dungeons. This note remains underneath forever, bouncing from the old walls and repeated by all the underchurch inhabitants.

As an English and etymology nerd, the fact that he rhymed "mind" and "wind" in the original Middle English pronunciation just warms my heart. The "Great Vowel Shift" messed up English lyrics, poetry, and Shakespearean dirty jokes. Also, you can see just how much he loves this song, and I don't blame him. This and "Oh Holy Night" are my favorite Christmas songs. What a great arrangement.

[@blitzpianist]

​@@blitzpianistI'd like to hear it!🙋‍♀️

[@blitzpianist]

@@anna-a33allrighty ok so oh is generally used as a sign of exclamation or awe, whilst O is actually a call out to or cry out. As in O Lord i cry to you versus Oh wow that is amazing. its not a crazy difference and O is rarely used anymore, but if you wanna be correct O is used in these terms \o/

[@AndyZach]

Yes, as a middle-schooler as I read and learned Shakespeare, I tried to always rhyme his couplets: love and prove, wind and mind. I figured I should stick to the original pronunciation. Not everyone liked that.

[@angelamaryquitecontrary4609]

​@@blitzpianistI think 'O' is one of the last few modern usages of the vocative case, whereas 'Oh!' is an ejaculation, as we were taught in the olden days of my schooling. I believe Latin was still considered a modern language, then.

[@idaengest4069]

@@joyfulyes Glad im not the only one who thinks that 🥰

[@SeliahK]

@Wayne I am one who has always, ALWAYS preferred the richness of a good bass voice over any of the higher voices. A good bass voice will literally give me the chills and make me shiver. I freaking love it. It's a beautiful, warm, earthy sound that I have always been drawn to, and it always elicits a visceral response from me when I hear it. Yes, there's a safe and comforting quality to it, but for me it's that earthy rumble. Geoff's voice also manages to carry a gentleness in it, even in his lowest sub notes without losing the earthquake rumble. And that is just completely enchanting for me. There's a place and time for the higher voices, too. There is. And I do also enjoy them as well. But for me, nothing quite compares to the velvet wrapped in honey of a good bass. :) I'm a female low contralto, so I sing basically the tenor range (but being female, I don't have that lovely tenor bright AND full timbre). If i had a penny for every time I've been told to force my voice up into the alto range or that I "just can't sing" because my range is inconvenient for what they were doing, I'd have a mansion on a private island somewhere. LOL. I've tried to reach the alto range... I can't. Simply cannot do it without causing injury. Heck, some of the higher tenor range is hard for me to reach! I've had a much easier time coming to accept my voice as it is, since getting into the acapella groups over the last five years or so. Learning that people DO actually appreciate the whole range of voices, including those of us on the bottom ends of our respective voice groups, has gone a long, long way towards reigniting the actual desire to sing again. All this to say... you don't ever need to be ashamed or shy about your bass range. Take what nature endowed you with, care for it, and let it blossom. There is something a bass voice adds to music that no other voice type can. And it's the soul of the music; take the bass line out of anything, and all those higher voices leave you with a piece of music that sounds empty and hollow.

[@маринаянковская-в3л]

Можно слушать бесконечно! Полное поглощение этим голосом! Этим тембром! Пение на 4 голоса - это что-то волшебное!

[@tortill_comeback3389]

Прекрасное исполнение, шикарный голос, чудесный антураж, все со вкусом, очень хорошо. Спасибо Amazing 🥰

[@natebaker3672]

Man am I excited. My favorite singer and one of my favorite Christmas songs.

[@Rabbitrails315]

Is anyone going to point out how freaking awesome Geoff looks in that costume and that hairstyle. Because he does.

[@shirleykarr560]

Oh, my heart is pounding! This is awesome! My four favorite Geoffs: tenor, baritone, bass, and basso profundo. Not the song I was expecting to hear, given the wardrobe choice and set decoration, but does indeed bring me comfort and joy. Thank you, Geoff, for another lovely arrangement and performance. What a fabulous birthday and Christmas gift.

[@BloodPlusPwn]

Your 16 tons video was my favorite, but honestly I think this one might just pass it up for me. The arrangement is just so... complex but unintrusive. Your composition skills never cease to amaze me, which is incredible considering just how amazed I am every time I see a new video.

[@carmenfeltz6464]

Lovely. Love the highs and lows with his voice.

[@tennisprinzessin84]

What’s better than a bassist? FOUR BASSISTS!! This gave me goose bumps… holy shoot…!

[@trishaurvan9439]

Geoff, what can be said that hasn't already been said? You are absolute magic. Every song, every note, every unexpected moment is pure magic.

[@pedro_claro]

This gesticulation is on another level

[@Jamie_T.]

Geoff this is a unique and beautiful version of the song; I always love your arrangements. More importantly though, to me, was the fact that so many of your friends & Kathy, of course, were there to help you put it all together. That is what this song and this time of year is all about. With the very recent loss of my Dad I am really struggling this holiday season to find that peace & joy I normally have so I find it truly heartwarming to think of you, Kathy, Eli & the PattyCake Production guys - Layne and/or Tony - working all together. To anyone reading this comment, no matter what holiday you celebrate, I wish you peace & joy this season and to anyone struggling along with me, may you find someone or something to warm your heart & help you through.

This rendition reminds me of my dad. He was a bass singer who loved Christmas songs and air-conducting imaginary orchestras/choirs while he sang along to them, and when this song hits the point where the instrumentation swells in, I can't help smiling and imaging the fun Dad would have had singing and conducting along with Maestro Geoff. :)

[@lancerevell5979]

One of my favorite Christmas songs. This is an excellent rendition. 😊

[@eowynadcox4964]

That was such a beautiful arrangement. To find someone with a vocal range capable of doing all those parts so beautifully is so amazingly wonderful

[@joshuaspinney3208]

This man is a saint, and must be protected at all costs. Thank you for your work Geoff, it is always amazing, always masterful, and we are always ready for more.

[@benmenneken1854]

Geoff, you are without a doubt one of the most inspiring artists I have ever heard! The arrangement, your voice, the scene. MINDBLOWING! Thank you so much

[@florencesteinlaender4489]

I adore it

[@Alamobe]

I would love to hear “We Three Kings of Orient Are”.

[@MariusMA13]

Damn! You are the most awesome voice I've ever listened to. Greetings from Spain. You rock!

[@SandraJB321]

God's Merry Gentlemen can't rest, Geoff. They are too busy smiling at this arrangement of yours and the perfect execution of the harmonies, not to mention the too cool rhythmic changes that are going on too. You are a gift from high above. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I am in awe. I love the outfit (perfect) and the wonderful lighting too!

[@MegEllie]

Another fantastic twist on an old classic. Just the thing to make everyone’s Christmas special this year. I bow my head to your majesty. Thanks for taking the time to throw this old thing together for us boring people

[@saralindgreen3058]

Love everything about this: the voice, the drumming, the bell, the lighting effects in the windows that give an almost holy aspect to the atmosphere... Everything is just perfect! I could see this version being sung in a gothic church with monks entering to go to mass.

[@jonathanstein1783]

His range is incredible! I've never enjoyed this song so much, a unique arrangement, and definitely a unique voice!

[@sweetmissirish]

I love that you did the other verses, sooo many others leave them out. This was great, it's one of my absolute favourite carols, you did it justice.

[@fanda9992]

Geoff, this is a masterpiece. I’m not saying this because I am following your work for some time and absolutely love it, nor because this amazing piece is among the stuff I listen to lately, but because there is just so much effort in this. Your soothing voice (leading) and the backing vocals, the effects, visuals, harmonies, everything. I am simply speechless. Bravo! Keep up the amazing work, lots of love

[@Julia-ulia]

Потрясающий голос! Я не ожидала, что диапазон такой широкий! Браво!!!

[@leah9713]

Geoff... Probably many people tell you every day.. But thank you... You're literally saving my life... Listening to your covers gives me the energy to be able to overcome another day Thank you very much 💛

[@lacyreed8670]

Geoff has such a large and amazing range. His voice is spectacular.

[@anjibrazell]

Thank you for this rendition of my favorite carol! God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen tells the Gospel in a beautiful way! Your voice is amazing and truly a gift from God.

[@mishkarae]

Geoff's bass register is beautiful, but I also very much enjoy his higher register, so it was nice to get a higher section in this song~

[@LandofMilknHoney]

Thank you, my 13 year old became a bass last year... and I've been looking for a true bass for him to listen to.

[@alexfierro1500]

This is so cool!! I didn’t know human voices went that low! This guy’s range is impressive!

[@cronocort2632]

Time to open this in a new tab, set the alarm, call out from work, take a sick day, request a personal, skip school, close up for the day.... Basically this became top priority.

[@kd7ign]

Love watching him massage the notes with his hands. I think it adds to the video.
