Marvelous SATB Choral Warmup - Gospel Warm Up- Choir Warmup

[@LavanGray]

I just want to acknowledge the piano player!

[@stevencarter511]

Absolutely killer.

[@Cantor131]

Do you find? I mean, the pianist has a good technique but plays so strange chords.

[@stevencarter511]

@@Cantor131 that’s a pretty common way to play among gospel pianists - in particular, many from the Black church. Lots of jazz and blues influence. I could sit and listen to it all day.

[@Ebi_J]

I listened to him several times before I 'heard' what the singers were saying.

[@philipmcniel4908]

I just checked the music against Fender's online guitar tuner, and the pianist was playing in five flats for nearly the whole time!

[@jacklogansmith7646]

Unless you are a true Tenor 1, singing tenor in gospel can get pretty miserable. The parts get very high very quickly, and falsettoing gospel just feels wrong.

[@treblazer]

@@jacklogansmith7646 absolutely i hate falsettoing gospel it’s the worst it doesn’t feel strong at all smh #baritone

[@marciti6145]

Period!! That’s my choir director Duane Martin Foster.

[@tamerlano]

He was out of tune

[@amnedits4898]

Daniel Swick no he wasn’t lol he was struggling on few of the notes when the song got higher which is understandable. Not easy to belt high notes consistently... but overall he KILLED IT!

[@carolyntrahan9751]

All of you are beautiful and the pianist as well

[@hetedeleambacht6608]

yeah the pianist is brilliant indeed, brilliant harmonising

[@Dranok1]

Every choir on the planet desperately seeks an expert accompanist (any instrument will do in rehearsals, the skill is in supporting the singers and being telepathic with the music director), and yet they never get acknowledged come the concert, often replaced by the twice-a-year "professional" pianist\organist. #ForgottenHeros ;-)

[@gr8fullynatural]

[@Sheherhis]

I know I was like wow!😂

[@DavidHaile_profile]

Love this! My parents were always in a regular church choir. They worked very hard with normal hymns. When I had a chance to join a church with a director like the woman in this video who could transform a boring hymn into something really exciting within just a few minutes, it was difficult to go back to my parents type of choir. It was interesting that the only difference was the director. He could do that with a previously boring choir!

[@itsslewie]

We honestly don’t give the bases enough credit. Their voices sound so angelic in the background

[@E.LoisGardens]

I love how everyone noticed that one tenor hitting another gear and realized they had to stand to match his intensity. Love it!!!

[@AlejandroParis]

I'm not religious at all, but I find this marvellous and I really think these kind of things should be carried out more often, even out of church circles. Apart from faith, the social bond is amazing, events like this really help to build a stronger society, no matter your beliefs. Nowadays society is dissolving into itself... it's a pity

[@melv5816]

That's why this whole pandemic has had such a terrible affect especially in Christian churches.

[@SATX_09]

I totally agree with you... I left the church long ago and I don't miss religion but I I do miss the social bond and overall good stuff like this.

[@majkus]

I am also a non-believer, but one of the high points of almost-recent years for me has been singing in the cast-and-customers Hallelujah Chorus that closes the Dickens Christmas Fair in San Francisco (which I very much hope will return this year). One should never let a particular religion, or lack thereof, get in the way of the joy of song!

[@SATX_09]

@@majkusthat's so cool 😎 I love the hallelujah chorus

Without the one we're singing about.... it's just people. It's the love of Jesus that binds us to each other and to you. Love you.

[@folkloricogeek1]

[@lorenzoramsey5948]

If you have difficulty singing above the staff then you are a baritone. The highest tenor note was Ab4. I say that not to be snarky, but if you are singing in a higher tessitura than you should be then you could be causing long-term damage to your voice.

Huge props to her for wisely starting in a key where the altos are high in their passagio - they can and should be able to naturally bring resonant head mix down the scale instead of pushing an increasingly inelegant chesty sound up through it.
