You have a great ear for harmonies, I love your comments!

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you 😁

[@berlyn3014]

If you haven't heard "Greensleeves" before you may have heard "What Child is This" which was set to the tune of "Greensleeves".

[@QofyReacts]

Ahhh yes you’re right that’s what it is!

[@daventunes3822]

Greensleeves itself is an old English folk song from sometime in the sixteenth century.

[@jeraldbennett9289]

Listen to "What Child is This" by Street Corner Symphony (Chance from HF is the bass)

[@farrellschultz1111]

OMG it's insane how quickly and effortlessly Tim transfers from bass to tenor then back to bass if you weren't watching the video it would seem to be 2 different singers through those transitions. The 2 of them are a great harmonizing duet. Loved your take on this video.

[@QofyReacts]

Tim is brilliant at doing that

[@susanhorn4325]

Peter and Tim sing so well together...their voices are very different but they complement each other perfectly. The video was shot in one take...with the backdrop of the setting sun they couldn’t film it in segments or reshoot portions and then edit them together without it being obvious. So they couldn’t make any mistakes. Thanks for your reaction.

[@QofyReacts]

It’s brilliant they were able to do that

[@jankreps5115]

The tune is also the melody of “What Child IsThis”!! What a great arrangement!! Nice Reaction!!

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you

[@GrandmasGoneGamingLW]

I KNEW you were going to love Tim's flexibility in this. Peter, too, displays a lot of his own flexibility as well. Then all the beautiful layering. Really nice reaction, sir. :-D

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you Grandma 😁

[@vickymacarthur2919]

I very much enjoy your reaction style. Tim and Peter also sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and "Misty Mountains". Both good songs.

[@QofyReacts]

Misty Mountains is already done I will check out the rest

[@FATIMAPECHI]

I loved your reaction and analysis! This is a great song, I love Peter and Tim's voices together, they make a great duo! :) Though I have to admit that the first time I heard this I was like.... "Isn't this 'What Child is This?'".... but now I know that Greensleeves was first... XD Great reaction! Thanks for sharing! See you next time, as always!

[@QofyReacts]

As always 😁

[@joanwharff6483]

“Sounds of Silence “, “Lochlomond”...They are so Good!

[@sallymaria]

Yes, this is an old song - for a long time there was a legend that Henry VIII wrote it for Anne Boleyn but apparently the style is something like 40 years older than that. I love the way Tim gets to show off his range in this one, and he and Peter sound so good together.

[@QofyReacts]

Agreed😁

[@helenasmedberg5033]

This song always gives me goosebumps and I feel relaxed, almost like a lullaby ☺️. Thank you for reacting to so many nice videos with such passion for the music, the harmonies and the little things that makes them so special. Your reactions makes my days after some tough times at work. Please put What we ain’t got by HF on your to do list 🙏

[@QofyReacts]

My pleasure 😊 I will do

[@vickymacarthur2919]

Thank you. I will go back and watch your reaction to Misty Mountains.

[@QofyReacts]

Nice one 😁

[@Mikki44]

Their voices go together perfectly!

[@QofyReacts]

Agreed

[@karenhollis9611]

First time hearing this one for me! Greensleeves was written in 1580 and there are some interesting stories behind its origin. Beautiful blend of voices! Have a blessed day!

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you Karen 😁

[@lindaandrews127]

This has always been my all time favorite song. I have heard many many versions. But this one is so breathtakingly beautiful, that I'm crying.

[@jamespauldelashmit2173]

Yep! The tune to "What Child is This"

[@bethcoussou]

I forgot about this one! Love Peter!! His voice is so pure and clean! Always love these collabs with either Tim or Home Free! Loved your reaction! Some of those chords and harmonies were tight!!

[@QofyReacts]

Agreed

[@bend5882]

Yes yes and more yes!

[@QofyReacts]

😁

[@cheryljohnson733]

The Beast Tim Foust!! Thanks for your reaction.

[@QofyReacts]

You’re welcome 😁

[@marianarnold1896]

This music was written in Henry VIII time. Some people think that it was written BY Henry for Anne Boleyn. Who knows? It's a beautiful song, and this is the very Best rendition that I have ever heard. The music is also used for the Christmas carol "What Child Is This?" which you might also have heard. So maybe Peter & Tim should do that one also... Anyway, Wonderful reaction, as usual. More, please!

[@QofyReacts]

I think thats where I recognise it from is the carol.

[@glendakeating405]

Written in the 16th century!! Attributed by many to Henry V111.

[@QofyReacts]

Brilliant

[@patriciawoyczik1657]

Awesome reaction....you point out things I've never noticed before! As others have said...this is the same tune as What Child Is This! Chris Rupp and Home Free released a cover of that:-P song shortly after Chris left the group! So it is currently the only video that has all 6 guys singing on it! You might want to check it outl

[@QofyReacts]

I will check it out

[@hollyprudom671]

Another artist you might be interested in reacting to is Jared Haley. He is a solo acapella artist who is great with his multi layering and vocals.

[@QofyReacts]

Will check him out

[@leapatterson2014]

Sorry I was late to the party, but I literally fell in my yard and broke my foot. This is beautiful; they blend well. This is the tune of "What Child is This" if I'm not mistaken you just rarely hear the original.

[@QofyReacts]

Oh no Lea hope you’re not badly hurt

[@leapatterson2014]

@@QofyReacts my left foot is pretty bad. I may go to the ER in the morning. It's black and blue already and I can't bare wait on it. Thanks for caring and I'll let you know the final outcome.

[@QofyReacts]

Lea Patterson Keep us updated ☺️

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Legend has that English King Henry the VIII (the infamous one with the 6 wives) wrote this tune. Never can be confirmed but the style of the tune certainly is from that era.....these two jusT KICK BUTT, You shall get your video later today. I ended up having to attend to family stuff yesterday.

[@QofyReacts]

Can’t wait to receive it haha

[@jimbennett8036]

me tune was used for the Christmas song "What Child Is This?"

[@sallysmith5090]

Awesome, as usual. Thanks! Stay safe and happy! Philly Fry here...

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you! Will do!

[@annakoch9972]

Tim and Peter have sing together in an other group for some years ago. Probably why they are so tight in their voices. I think the group was "The blue Jupiter" but I can he wrong.

[@QofyReacts]

Ahhh that’s makes sense

[@ajisegundo2268]

have not heard this one before! the melody is oddly similar with chris rupp's "what child is this" featuring home free (yes, all six of them!) hope you get to check that out sometime in the future!

[@QofyReacts]

Will do

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

Spectators 🎶❤️👏

[@binbag5333]

You also might recognise that tune from various ice cream vans here in the UK

[@QofyReacts]

Hehe yeah

[@christinadowdican3268]

You should watch the video they did of Misty Mountain from the Hobbit it'll give you goosebumps!💕❤️😊

[@QofyReacts]

Done

[@christinadowdican3268]

@@QofyReacts yea i saw that after i posted.🤭☺️

[@i8jaffas]

If you learnt piano at all, this is often one of the first full songs people learn for finger flow :)

[@QofyReacts]

Ahh I see

[@CDRaccoon]

yes. You might have heard this before, as "greensleeves", is one of the oldest medeval music-pieces available. while it have gone through severel iterrartions, it is probrble the oldest recorded music piece.

[@QofyReacts]

Yes I have its awesome

[@Doinita.]

Great reaction 😊

[@davidharman8263]

Jacob is in a world of his own. I don't know any artist that does what he does in the way he does it. Would appreciate if you could react to his 5 level concept of harmony ending with him playing and chatting with Herbie Hancock.

[@QofyReacts]

Haha I saw that a while ago but that would be an advanced level music education however I make sure to keep this an entertainment channel not just a music channel

[@Catherine.Catherine]

Morning QoFy, morning QoFy gang! Love this reaction of course, always look forward to these videos of yours. You’ll love Black Is The Colour Of My True Love’s Hair by Peter Hollens ft Avi Kaplan. And I would love you to check out Avi’s rendition of Hey Ya! by OutKast, I prefer it to the original 💜💛

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you Catherine 😁 I will check it out

[@jeffblanchard7012]

Quick recommendation, Home Free’s cover of Mayday by Cam. It’s one of my favorites by them. It particularly features Tim Foust

[@QofyReacts]

Already done ✅

[@jeffblanchard7012]

QoFyReacts ah found it now, just hadn’t gotten that far back yet. In that case, Just Sing by Voiceplay is a good one too

[@QofyReacts]

Jeff Blanchard That’s done too

[@jeffblanchard7012]

QoFyReacts Ah yep, I just missed it. Have you done Flowers on the Wall or Down to the Honkeytonk by Home Free yet?

[@Doinita.]

🎶😊🎵

[@padredemishijos12]

From Wiki:''A possible interpretation of the lyrics is that Lady was a promiscuous young woman, perhaps even a prostitute. At the time, the word "green" had sexual connotations, most notably in the phrase "a green gown", a reference to the grass stains on a woman's dress from engaging in sexual intercourse outdoors.''

[@QofyReacts]

Ohhh I didn't know that!

[@Doinita.]

🔥🎶😊

[@anicedan90]

Aye Qofy! As always a fantastic and insightful reaction, awesome man! May I suggest a new artist to check out? How about trying out Tomi P singing Toss a Coin To Your Witcher, you will find a very very awesome bass singer with outstanding range :D

[@QofyReacts]

Great suggestion! I will keep it on my list

[@Doinita.]

🤩❤️

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

Yeah Jacob Collier... he’s another level!! Nothing much 😜

[@QofyReacts]

He is haha

[@waynethera2712]

I like, but Jethro Tulls instrumental version is more my style.
