Music Teacher Reacts Evaluates Valhalla Calling

[@TheDevilishSmile]

Love that you explain things very well. Though most people will probably never know. W video

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Eric's vocal weight and resonance just blows my mind. And like you said, he has a phenomenal range (up to F5). We've all heard bass singers get that high, but I cannot think of an Oktavist like Eric who can.

[@bass2yang]

One of my favorite Eric-belt notes are right around A4. The sheer weight/color of it is awesome. Thanks for watching!

@@bass2yang in Viking culture it was not unheard of for a contingent of warriors to vocalize a kind of prayer if you will prior to a battle engagement in the same way this ensemble is vocally choreographed . I recall reading one that went like this (Chefton/lead guardsman/Shaman starts) "Lo there do I see my Father, (seconded by next in line of authority or place of importance ie lead guardsman/Shaman joins Chefton for second verse) "Lo there do I see my Brothers" (full contingent joins in and finishes prayer/hymn with all) "lo there do I see my mother and my sisters, Lo there do I see the line of my people, all the way back to the beginning, Lo, they do call to me, they bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla were the brave may live forever" So hearing these three musically inclined individuals showing Ohmage to it by structuring this interpretation this way is amazing.

Miracle of Sound is a gamer. He will play a game or watch a tv series / movie. Those he likes. He will create songs based off it. Been listening to Gavin's music since his 2nd album came out.

[@audreywinter6910]

Yep, my favourite musician on KZbin and off. The one artist I support on Patreon because I get so much out of it, being a gamer myself and totally in love with his music. He's the best advertisement for any game he deems inspirational enough to make a song about it, because he makes the game look so much better through his art. Same with tv series.

[@bwehfug]

Eric is a legend

[@lkayh]

Well, I did drop a longish comment about the connections between this song and Assassin’s Creed, etc. but then I went to fix something (my comments are almost always edited-the writer in me wants to fix stuff). KZbin wouldn’t let me post the edit and now the comment is gone. MAYBE it’ll reappear with the part I wanted to fix. Anyway, great reaction/analysis, Thou! I did at least want to add this for the algorithm. ETA there I go fixing stuff. LOL.

[@bass2yang]

Haha thanks! I appreciate it. I haven't played AC Vahalla so I am mostly going off of previews and some of the similar nuances in music.

[@carinarodebak9419]

Yet again, thanks for your analysis. It gave both enjoyment and enlightment. Not a gamer, but since many years deeply interested in history, especially viking/ medieval period and of Nordic descent. That's what calling me to this song. Also the enjoyment of the powerfull music these singers bring. Eagerly anticipating your next reactionvideo. This last year and a half I've been on a musical journey. Stumbling on Geoffs cover of Misty Mountains quite by chance and clicking on it bc being an avid Tolkien reader since early youth, I've discovered acapella music,Bass voices and the last 7-8 months also metal music. Genres that never existed in my life before. To dive deeper into those subjects has given me many hours of happiness. Your analysises have been very helpful for me during this time and I've also had the enjoyment of your own voice in your videos. So thanks for doing this, the analysis, educating and singing.

[@bass2yang]

Thank you so Much! I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching!

[@Cpc157968]

If you thought Eric was low, Geoff from Voiceplay is so far in the basement it staggers me, especially when they did a cover on this same song

[@codytutor567]

Definitely someone us lower-voiced guys can hope to aspire to. I think my favorite part about Eric is just how comfortable he sounds in the first octave: it sounds like he doesn't even need to put forth effort to generate a resonant G1-D2. Thank you for the insightful comments, I really enjoy your channel!

[@bass2yang]

Thanks! Yes, agreed - Eric is simply amazing 🔥

[@WantedRecords5506]

Thank you, This was super enlightening! More miracle of sound reactions would be awesome

[@Altec006322]

I love your background with Chrono Trigger world map.

[@bass2yang]

Go dream team 🔥 thanks!

[@jessekynaston4637]

Always amazing Thou, to expand on on some of the other comments, I'm pretty sure Eric hits a C1 chest in his youtube short cover of Geoff Castelluccis 'Way on Down'. Side note: Do you have plans to post more music like your cover of Chesnokov's - Salvation is Created? Absolutely loved that.

[@bass2yang]

Yes - he has gone lower than C1 from what I remember in our conversations but rarely does so because it's mostly "scrapping the barrel". But he still does it so well haha. Yes. There is a piece that I have that I am starting soon and should be done (also soon). Thanks!

[@h0nz006]

i just love the cronos trigger on nes background xd

[@bass2yang]

Same! Chrono Trigger is pretty much my game of choice.

[@rtsbass7829]

Amazing analysis! Thanks for your work! Would really love to see your Evaluation on VoicePlay's cover on "Carry On Wayward Son" there're some interesting decisions arrangement-wise!

[@bass2yang]

I'll have to queue this up right behind their "Nothing Else Matters" which I will have to do next Saturday since this Saturday is for Avi - thanks for the input, brother!

[@rtsbass7829]

@@bass2yang Oh yes, I really love their latest cover as well, there are a lot of interesting moments too!

[@gryphon5026]

I'm a Vocalist for 25 years and still learning but to your Point about the music I've Always been able to "Hear" lyrics in the music as the beat Usually Matches the Vocals at least from how MY Mind works but again I have Ausbergers

[@themasterninja110]

same on both accounts.

[@iamthatdinoguy]

In response to your question as to what Valhalla is, it is the Nordic mythological hall for fallen heroes who died in battle. Basically it is the equivalent of a Nordic (Viking, etc.) warrior dying and ascending to live among the gods.

[@rtsbass7829]

7:30 - Yeah - his chest range expands down to F1/E1 on daily basis!

[@bass2yang]

What's even crazier is that it can live there, too! haha 🔥

[@TimBrazeau]

The song is inspired by the game Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. Miracle of Sound has dozens of songs inspired by video games, movies, and TV shows.

[@marshayoung9387]

Will you please do a reaction to Voice Plays cover of Valhalla Calling ? It is new. Miracle Of Sound messaged Voice Play & said their cover is the best he ever heard & gave them a 10 out of 10 & said great job.

[@aldeb8315]

Hello, you like to listen to low voices, I suggest you listen to Geoff Castellucci. He made videos of some well-known songs and where he is lower than anyone else. Then he also sang with a group VoicePlay. The last one is Valhalla calling me from Miracle Of Sound. Your spoken voice is pretty impressive too. Bonjour, vous aimez écouter des voix basses, je vous propose d'écouter Geoff Castellucci. Il a fait des vidéos de certaines chansons connues et où il plus bas que n'importe qui. Ensuite, il chante aussi avec un groupe, VoicePlay. Le dernier est justement "Valhalla calling me" de Miracle Of Sound. Votre voix parlée est assez impressionnante aussi.

Have you ever reacted to Tim Foust he is the bass singer of Home Free? He did a collaboration with Peter Hollens Misty Mountain ( The Hobbit) Peter Hollens Ft Tim Foust

[@bass2yang]

I have not yet and it may be something I do sometime soon in the future. Thanks!

Hi sorry try sending a request with the link but didn't work so here go again could you react to a 13yr old turning 14yr old young lady who has the most control voice with tones and whistle notes along with wavering echoing runs she is amazing this is ANGELICA HALE doing ADELE'S EASY ON ME playing piano in her small little home studio (this performance has over 1.5 millions views) i know it something different for you but I bet it will blow you away and make you go wow..promise
