I found something beautiful in a grain silo.

The Bethel College Choir sang in my grain bin!
Have you ever sung in a grain bin? We were honored to have the Bethel College Choir to come sing in our brand new grain bin. The acusticks in the grain bin are better than you would expect! Settle in for a few minutes and enjoy Down to the River to Pray. The choir did an amazing job in this unexpected space to perform!
Thank you William Eash and Bethel College Choir of Newton, Kansas for making my day beautiful. If you would like to contact them to perform for you, please follow this link: www.bethelks.edu/fine-arts/ch...

Farmer Derek lives and works on the Klingenberg Family farm and ranch. He works with his Dad and two brothers. They raise Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Cattle, and Cats. They background all the cattle and then graze them in the Flint Hills and they end up at the feedyards in Western Kansas.
The farm was started in the mid 30's by his grandpa who immigrated from West Prussia in 1923 when he was 9.
Growing up, Derek's family priorities consisted of church, family, work, music, and eating a lot. He now has his own family of three cute girls along with his wife Kara. Derek spends his time working on the farm, dancing with his girls, and making KZbin videos.

Oh my lord that bass. Absolutely stunning.

[@garygsp3]

Yeah the tenor's get the glory but the bass boys get the girls. Unless a tenor goes crazy high nobody reacts. Yet it's increasingly rare to hear people sing bass, so when you do the reactions are "OH I Love that bass!" In singing as a part of the worship team at church when the opportunity presents itself to go into the E2 - D2 range I go for it. edit: As confirmation on that. Just look at the comments. Soprano on point, Alto gotta love that harmony. Tenor hiding in the clouds per usual. Bass killing it. Every vocal part nailed it. Yet who gets the reactions... bass.

[@karolme3359]

Very true! I've sang in a pretty empty hall (lot's of reverb) and it's often very hard to listen to ourselves and getting out of sync wasn't rare. I can't imagine singing there with even more reverb..

[@LiMCRiMZ]

Of course the group has some crazy ears/control to pull off something like this, but it's their clear connection with the director that made this REALLY work I'm sure.

[@Dismiazs]

@@LiMCRiMZ You're right. In loud/echoey/exceptionally dry place where we can't hear ourselves, we need to really trust our conductor. At that time though, even our conductor had some problem perceiving the tempo because of the echo. In this video, the conductor might wore IEM to keep track of the tempo which now I remembered ours also wear when we performed right by an orchestra.

Todd Haynes if you love bass like me get a load of this! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWnUpmeFhLaSesU It’s a singing technique called oktavism, other low singing techniques are growls and subharmonics, those are very popular as well

[@Enkephalen]

Maybe they could do an album/CD of choral songs in the grain bin?

[@KC0FZZ]

I would buy it, definately.

[@kamonic6571]

Long as they kept the tempo down. Go to fast and the echos will really get in the way

[@vwdiver512]

I do mobile recording... would be happy to record that.

[@jfan4reva]

I have an old vinyl album a flute player recorded under the domes of the Taj Mahal in India. IIRC the reverberations last 20 seconds. The music on the album is other-worldly! A similar sound could probably have been had in this bin.

[@jimb8911]

Colloquialize the title: Jes’ Bin Singin’

[@bcgrittner]

That was extraordinary. That almost endless reverberation just reached out and grabbed me by my soul. I hope to have an opportunity like that someday.

[@farmboyjohn]

Wow! What an awesome idea, Farmer Derek! Thanks for sharing your grain bin with the Bethel College Choir! Amazing! May God richly bless each of you!

[@Its.Daem0n]

Well... As a Native Kansan, Hutchinson, this is all dear to me. I've sung in bins to bless them many times, and I greatly enjoyed seeing this beautiful song being sung in a fashion most familiar to me

[@Blueee51]

Hutch you say?

I live in Wichita Kansas and I often have wondered what the sound would be like if I sang in one of these. I am passionate about singing and even sang in WSU's madrigal choir for a couple years, even have videos here on KZbin! This video made my heart soar.

[@Its.Daem0n]

@@courtneygrier2015 Keep singing and find some locals during Harvest season. Soft and melodic tones are best given the metallic reverberation, shrilly noises will fry a microphone if the sound bounces too hard Or even old Warehouses and Mills have some buildings with oddly spectacular accustics

[@courtneygrier2015]

@@Its.Daem0n I often sing in the stair case of parking garages...usually vacant and the sound really rings!

[@christiankay3761]

I would literally travel all the way there from boston to play my cello inside of that grain bin.

[@shannonruark8079]

I would love to hear that!! I played the cello a long time ago. Beautiful instrument.

[@jimboswell4818]

Do it, that would be beautiful

[@charlescarmichael1124]

I recently went to Greece and found an old Byzantine church in an where Paul the Apostle was. A small group of us started singing Agnus Dei. It was amazing.

[@ChalkInTheLand]

Imagine working at the farm and not knowing they were doing this. And you're having a TERRIBLE DAY because you're going through a tough time. You walk past this this silo and hear this. Bet it would uplift anyone

[@kaddis01]

Idk how I even got here. My guy started with a trombone. I played that in highschool. I am now a fan.

[@esthermiller2713]

kaddis01, but my advice to you, sir, is.......NEVER EVER play in a silo!!!!! People generally like to be able to make out the WORDS,........or is that no longer a desire???!!!

[@kaddis01]

Esther Miller 1st of all...not a "sir." 2nd of all...just enjoy it!! I could make out the words fine. Perhaps because I know the song by heart, but I was simply enjoying they sound they were making. Great music isn't always perfect.

[@esthermiller2713]

kaddis01, please accept my apologies. There was no way I could tell which gender you are. And you are correct in saying music can’t always be expected to be perfect. But I like to be able to understand the words as they are sung. 😉

[@kaddis01]

Esther Miller Why are you telling me tho?!? I didn't record this. I said I like it. Your inability to understand the singers has nothing to do with me. Make that comment on your own. Don't tack it to my post. That's just odd.

[@geosekiro324]

I can’t compare someone’s mic being in a tin can anymore, cause this actually sounds good 😪🙏

[@mnkeymasta]

but now you can tell 'em they need a bigger tin can

[@nancypritchett1159]

This was incredible. The voices and the harmonies were like a heavenly choir.

[@Sharonnecs]

A DELIGHT to my ears...and no doubt our LORD SAVIOR ENJOYED it too!

[@marythompson9222]

Wow, it's like you just injected a ton of love into that farm.

[@misipigirl_7781]

KZbin needs a love button for vids like this. Likes just ain’t enough!

[@nibbletrinnal2289]

While it isn't quite the same, I have a playlist for all of the videos I really liked watching that just liking it wasn't enough

[@paulfifield6685]

Sooooo good!!

[@susanjaeger5645]

I'll second that emotion.❤️

[@titusspellings5877]

Something magical happened that day

[@The0Stroy]

That is one of the reasons why medieval cathedrals were built with so high cellings. Reverb is life!

[@belleerion6549]

May we all simply praise God for allowing this to come together?? Not one of us is guaranteed our next breath nor day, yet He let us in on this blessing. Great thanks to The Bethel group as well as our farmer/host.... Vaelin

[@TheGreengiant53]

Goosebumps the entire video. That was amazing! Thanks for filming:)

[@vwdiver512]

I get chills every time I hear this. Incredible. I just wish the guy didn’t clutter up the sound with his trombone.

[@lethalserenade6458]

What a way to commemorate the completion of the grain silo. I love music, can't get enough of it

[@CasticDigital]

Must have been insane to hear this while actually being there, with the sound echoing all around you

[@laurelcello]

as someone who has sung with a choir in a grain bin before, it is very very cool

[@larrycriqui7883]

That was absolutely beautiful, Bethel College choir you should be proud, Thankyou from a military vet.

[@libbyhuckaby4264]

I know that grain bin is very expensive, but He should just leave the grain out and have these guys sing there often WOW !

[@jbeck66]

Holy cow! That's the best dressed bunch I've ever seen in a grain bin!!!!

[@f.n.schlub2269]

With that length of reverb, they should do rounds and catches.

[@benbaker321]

You know it's good when you get chills all over when you hear it.

[@balaton1]

I am absolutely speechless. Overwhelmed.

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Ain't no vermin in that grain bin! Beautiful praise!

[@jannaf1sher]

The slow pace of the song made it a natural choice. The hand holding near the end gave me goosebumps. And that BASS!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I am in Dallas Texas & I believe music unites all humans!!! I was in choir one year in middle school & we won the UIL competition!! I LOVED CHOIR but my parents found it useless & wouldn't let me return to choir after that one year but I continued singing along to music on the radio dancing in the alley behind our house w/ my headphones on!!! Thank you for sharing this WONDERFUL video w/ us!!! I strongly believe music feeds the heart & soul!!!! You all sounded AMAZING!!! Thank you very much!!!

Takes singing in the shower to a whole new level! Beautiful!

[@susansmaltz9836]

I have listened to this multiple times. The sound is so pure. Somehow I can’t help but think this is just a tiny smidge of what it will be like listening to the angels singing in heaven. It’s almost overwhelming. ♥️

This piece is stunning and beautifully produced. Extremely moving. The editing superb to show the wholesomeness of the farm environment blending with the simplicity of the song. Moved me to tears. The director also brought the power into the symphony of voices. .

I wasn't expecting to be moved to the verge of tears by a grain bin today, but here we are. Gorgeous.
