It Came Upon the Midnight Clear (Christmas Carol Barbershop)

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear is a traditional Christmas carol written by E. Sears.
Here is a barbershop quartet version of it! Hope you enjoy.

Arrangement by R. Willis (note: original key Bb, I sang it in Ab).
--- LYRICS (for verse 1 only)
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.

I've never seen four brothers who looked so much alike and sounded so good.

It helps that they're actually all the same man singing all four parts!

[@legaleagle46]

@ Nope. Julien Neel is singing all four parts. What he does is he sings each part on a different track and blends them all together. He's a one-man barbershop quartet!

@@legaleagle46 That's really rad man. Are you sure you're not taking the piss with me?

[@legaleagle46]

@ Ask him yourself if you don't believe me!

@@legaleagle46 Well which one of them should I ask? [I've been certain that you were joking along with me the same as I was. I hope that's the case.]

This sounds so good, That it made me very emotional. I really needed to hear this. I am recovering from a painful foot surgery and this song made me feel better. It made me cry this morning. I love it, And I can’t stop listening to it.. Merry Christmas !❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😢☺️🤩🌟🎄

[@davidsarton976]

Great song! Here's to hope that 2020 treated you well (umm, comparatively well), and that 2021 treats you better.

[@JulienNeel]

Thanks buddy. Someday I hope we'll look back on 2020 and find a way to laugh at how [insert adverb] bad it was. Stay safe and keep on singing!

[@RaphaelBas1995]

Thanks for the little bit of holiday spirit. We all could use some of that right now.

[@JulienNeel]

Thanks Raphael, agreed. I enjoyed you barbershop multitrack of Lida Rose, btw.

[@RaphaelBas1995]

@@JulienNeel Really? That’s big coming from you. To be perfectly honest, I thought I should’ve spent more time on it. How long does it normally take you until you’re satisfied with each part?

[@lrt35]

Good work :-)

[@edwarddalton9710]

I think this guy's videos are great. I only wonder why, oh why, he doesn't have millions of viewers.

[@Veggieman87]

Me seeing a new upload: Ooh, yay! One of my favorite carols! Me clicking the video: ...it's 'THE' MIDNIGHT CLEAR?! HAS MY WHOLE LIFE BEEN A LIE?! Me when the song starts: Never mind, it's still a lovely song.

[@gintokisakata2716]

This is the song used in the Tom and Jerry EP3 The Night Before Christmas. What a nostalgia.

[@Tornadica]

Are you going to ever release a 3rd Christmas album? I cant get enough of this, and that is just me talking, not even the christmas talking

[@Mortagus]

Comme d'hab : trop court ^^. A quand l'album ? Oh et je viens de tomber sur une chanson de toi et Nick McKaig sur Spotify ^^ Excellent ^^

[@mcadamdavis4956]

Hello from Malaysia... can you do another acapella cover From any the Beatles songs?🥺

[@SuzyMcCheese]

This is delicious. This is so gorgeous I can't even lurk. Just when I thought I couldn't love your sound more. If you could go ahead and sing all the things that would be great. wow.
