So great to finally hear this epic group! What else from them should I check out?

[@bobchen4246]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/anqrpJyGnKl4j9ksi=UtTDIzZbNfY-3xyk Her name is 鄧紫棋, she's basically a chinese version of Sohyang

[@NemisCassander]

The Battle of Sauron and Finrod Felagund. Full stop. It's the exact text of the encounter between them, sung, complete with Quenya in parts.

[@eprdoorindo]

Love your reaction and analysis! ONE OK ROCK, Japanese band, has a phenomenal vocalist, Taka, he covered *HELLO and Easy On Me - Adele, he can sing it in original key* check them out!! I guarantee you'll be surprised by his unique voice!! Also check their original *Take What You Want - LIVE Tokyo Dome 2018!* their LIVE performances are always top tier. I'd really appreciate it! Thank you, and you'll thank me later

[@mr.breene]

Try their Dwarven forge, When the hammer falls and Dragonshore, they're amazing!

[@Karldin83]

Their Adeste Fideles is beautiful for Christmas. For more every day reactions I would say Lament for the Rohirrim, Lament for Boromir, When the Hammer Falls and someothers I can't remember off the top of my head. If I remember correctly they are all supposed to be brothers, cousins and uncles

[@loreman7267]

As a Tolkien geek, I have to say these guys 'get' Middle Earth in a way very few others have (Howard Shore does, too!). They also do a fair number of Elvish songs, the Lay of Luthien and the Song of Ëarendil (Parts 1-3!). The Dragon is Withered manages to completely redeem some very silly vocals. 😄

[@lachimiste1]

These guys are a *family group,* which I think is SO cool. There’s a female voice, too, that sometimes sings with them, like in the Fall of Gil-Galad.

[@dorianbannister9687]

All family members, early pieces are adult males, then added some female and young family members recently.

[@aaronburdon221]

@@dorianbannister9687 Aragorns coronation song was added with a female as Arwen in there too.

[@robertwalker5794]

There’s also a female in their composition of Lament For Boromir

[@sithlordzach8418]

@@robertwalker5794 And obviously Beren and Lúthien, which is my favorite of theirs.

[@user-ej2ky8cy5f]

There's at least two sisters and possibly a mother(/grandmother?). See 'Arstioir' and 'The Loss of Negankerdak'. I would say about 75% of their songs feature a female voice.

[@medicbrotside5678]

Clamavi de Profundis is a real masterclass.

[@vishnu79]

I love this song, but every time I hear it, I'm left with a sense of unimaginable loss and sadness. As if something once-grand and glorious in it's majesty has been forever lost. Fitting for the Dwarfs of Middle-Earth, but amazing that this group manages to give that sense of loss through simple words and notes.

[@g0lgrim1]

Exactly this... those guys just catch the meaning in Tolkiens words and are able to give them trough voice and music such a life i somewhat feel we get those songs straight from middle earth... and not a distant fantastical world... but the arda which once truely was.

[@jenniferchoate5600]

I discovered Clamavi de Profundis back in 2015, 2016 with "Song of Durin" as well as "Far over the Misty Mountains Cold" and they have become my to-go band to listen too when I need to decompress or when I need to come down from being overstimulated. To see someone doing a reaction video for these guys, it's amazing. Truly amazing. Thanks, Peter, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to make this video. I greatly appreciate it.

[@Dvergenlied]

The use of closing down to the consonants quickly all throughout the piece gives a bit of a “working song” feel. It sounds almost at a rhythm for endurance while doing hard labor (mining and smithing for instance)

[@taliesin5983]

Yes, I agree, it's all about creating a certain rhythm, a kind of heartbeat for this song

[@SwitchTalkChannel]

Tolkien almost certainly had that in mind when he wrote it.

[@hibob4453]

I'm a baritone/bass and LOVE singing along with this group

[@karrde5566]

[@ChristopherCosbyMusicOnline]

I adore Clamavi De Profundis as a group, they are incredible and I am glad to see you're delving into their content! Edit: I would recommend checking out their rendition of "The Fall of Gil-galad"

[@shelby0210]

i think the lowest tones ive heard from this group was a solo in "the lament of boromir" and like. the entirety of "the ent march". cannot even begin to describe how pumped i am to see you dig into this group

[@ronsbrat525]

I love these guys. They are so talented. I have several of their songs on my playlist.... When The Hammer Falls, Diggy Diggy Hole, and a few others I can't think of right now. They also did.... Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold. All of their songs are dwarven songs.

[@Catilieth]

This is a family singing together, which I just love. They do fantasy music and sacred music. The Reproaches (de Victoria) and the lamentations of Jeremiah are some of my favorites. They also have a Christmas album.

[@eldermindpulse6763]

Would love to see you react to Clamavi de Profunis's Negankerdak saga. The songs in order are: "The Loss of Negankerdak", "The Secret of Negankerdak", "The Violation of Negankerdak", and "The Claiming of Negankerdak". Both for the technical aspect of your reaction, but also because I think it's a story worth enjoying.

[@NemisCassander]

My favorite CdP song is the Battle of Sauron and Finrod Felagund. A capella song of Quenya is... amazing.

[@Makkaru112]

Also Finrod's Lament dirge by a particular lady who basically had it like Galadriel was singing it.

[@daviddave1797]

love to see someone finally reacting my favourite band of bards on youtube they are really underrated musicians and i would love to see more reactions of them their man thing is dwarvish songs lot of tolkien and fantasy fun fact is that this group are all one family acting as the band

[@glowface79]

I love Clamavi de Profundis, and this is such an immensly enjoyable piece. Especially for a Tolkien enthusiast, of course! :) I'm so happy you listen to it and enjoyed it. Your comments about the choir lore and accents are especially welcome, love fun facts!

[@sionnadehr3313]

Two recents from them that I love: Namarïe and The Mounds of Mundberg. The latter features Eurielle. Honorable mentions: The Song of Earendil Aragorn's Coronation Song Gaudete Lux Vitae

[@roxannekabotsky2997]

Love CdP, their whole LOTR catalogue. Been listening to them for a couple of years. Takes me to Middle Earth again.

[@ramonalderete3404]

aragorn's coronation and where there's a whip theres a way and veni veni emmanuel covers are also good, would love to see you react to more of clamavi de profundis.

[@anuskamateos780]

I personally love Clamavi de Profundis, I first discovered them before the pandemic, so I’ve elretty much listened to everything they have about the Tolkien universe. I recommend the classic “Far over the misty mountains cold” and they have an extended version that is like 20 minutes long. 20 minutes of pure Dwarfs singing

[@jankates1274]

Peter that was an absolute joy to have you do this review in particular.

[@LuanMMello]

Thank you for analysing this piece. As a bass voice myself I really appreciate it.

[@samanthacakebread8196]

I'm a fan of The Ent's Marching Song personally but they did a wonderful version of Boromir's Lament.

[@user-ej2ky8cy5f]

Clamavi de Profundis is the best!!! Some day when I have a family I would love for us to start producing music together like them, and in the exact same genres! It really can't get much better!

[@-music-is-art-]

Beautiful song! I love so much seeing new artists on your channel. So many new interesting thins learned from this R&A.

[@gamerm0m740]

What I enjoy the most about your videos is that you explain what is happening as the song unfolds. I enjoy learning about different aspects of singing and the music as well. I look forward to what you listen to next. PS: I also enjoy the videos you do with your group, as well!

[@SoCHobbit]

Been listening to these guys, and gals in some of their songs, for years now. Love them!

[@tyghe_bright]

OK. After hearing you read the quote I want to hear you do audiobooks!

[@Eileen_in_Vegas]

Loved your reading of the opening screen! Loved the performance - yet another artist I'd never have found on my own. Well done on the R&A!

[@robertwalker5794]

There are so many songs from Clamavi Profundis that you need to listen to. They are a fantastic group of singers that I cannot recommend enough.

[@melindahancock8518]

I loved this! I'm going to look into them more. Would like to see you cover more of. This group. Thanks for a look behind the curtain on how opera voices are selected too!

[@philiprioux7767]

My brother in law is in this group, and they are distributed in various locations so some of these voices are mixed. If you want to heat the voices, Lamentations of Jeremiah 1:10-14 - Clamavi De Profundis My favorite is Song of Kings. Enjoy!

[@Makkaru112]

It's actually more connected to The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Book Of Lost Tales and more!

[@stevendeslauriers1369]

Ohhhh I think that was one of my recommendation! Glad you got to it, and even more so that you did enjoy it!

[@skyrimguy217]

I love these guys because the get the tone of music in middle-earth; Other groups that have done Tolkien songs while their versions are by no means bad they sound like a bunch of vocalists came together to do a Tolkien song, These guys on the other hand sound like Dwarves reminiscing about days long past & mourning for their lost homelands

[@VirginiaBarber-nv9hj]

Loved this reaction. I always learn something new on your channel!!!!😅

[@dawnnaso4383]

Cool performance and lovely analysis

[@Cecescrystal]

Omg wonderful!! I will check this for my kids

[@SilverWolfQueen]

Two of my favorite songs of there is Dragonshore and Hammer Falls. Both of them are original songs with a dwarf theme. Edit: And if you want to hear their base singers shine, The Ents' Marching Song is a must. Also has call outs in the instruments to the movie music, very nice little Easter Egg.

[@user-ej2ky8cy5f]

So true! I love how they add Howard Shore's themes in so many of their Tolkien pieces!

[@benrex7775]

This is my favorite song of Clamavi de Profundis.

[@Makkaru112]

Just wait until you hear their Of Beren And Lúthien song as well as Eurielle's song regarding the song Lúthien sang before Mandos(Namó)!

Please "react" to Of Beren and Lúthien by The Tolkien Ensemble as well as their song "The Ent and Entwife"! Then Lay Of Nimrodel by Brociliande.

[@Taran858]

If you want one of their songs focusing more on bass recommend The Ent's marching song. Bilbo's Last Song, The Song of Beren and Lúthien are just some of their excellent library

[@mamalinhager]

Love them

[@TheFoolish727]

I would love to see you check on some more of their work, especially more on their Lord of the Rings works!

[@Bombur888]

You should do a reaction to their version of "The Ent and the Entwife", that one got some really interesting lower parts! Also it just rocks (no pun intended) :D !

[@aeto2764]

Yea. In my choir altought i am ba baritone, because i can hit 4th and 5th octaves with chest and mix im at tenor1. Also my falsetto is max C6. And my lowest chest is about E2. And with fry i can go to c1 if i am newly awake.

[@gamecastadrian]

@PeterBarber I have a recommendation for a potential review and reaction video. Take a look at munx gregoriana's halo theme chant. Imo one of the most breathtaking cover thats been made. It makes you feel like you are stepping into the unknown and explore sights unseen.

[@Makkaru112]

Please react to more Eurielle songs, or by Karlienne, or even Erutan who sang Willow Maid(make sure tonwatch the official music video as tells a story via old fashioned art brought to life with a bit of animation)

[@shadowmancer3747]

If i could suggest one one, I'd say dragonshore,winterdeep, or hammerdeep

[@karrde5566]

song of hammer deep is one of my favorites and starts off very strong id recommend

[@elizabethcarroll8012]

There are younger singers, too, in the family

[@callandor5865]

Battle of Sauron vs Finrod is a must

[@haxxormcbunny7456]

You should listen to the song of hammerfall

[@sha1om]

As I understand it, these guys got their start singing Gregorian chant in the Catholic Church, which may explain why they don’t sing operatic style. (Their very name is a quote from Psalm CXXX.)

[@80summerrae]

[@AndragonLea]

This fits so well into the world and ambience of the lord of the rings that I can close my eyes and see dwarven miners sing this as they have a break in a particularly resonant mine shaft, deep beneath the earth, where their kind is most at home. These would be the veterans. Men that have plied the rock for so long that their beard is mostly white, experienced and wise in the ways of their kin. Singing a song that is as old as their oldest tales, kept alive in an unbroken chain. This is their creation myth.

[@KaaSerpent]

Dude, have you heard Colm McGuinness's cover of this with Bobby and JoYo? If not, why not? :)

[@isaiahhallett9871]

That one is awesome

[@nightspicer]

[@drekfletch]

If you want a good contrast how choral soloists differ from "opera" see the 10 Tenors. The cd I got of theirs struck me as a group that sings at the same time, not singing together.

[@Carakav]

I honestly think this song is served better by having no to light bass tones. Other versions just use the song as an excuse to sing in full bass, and it always sounds wrong to me. As if the bass singing is more important than the music.

[@PeterBarber]

I feel you on that

[@khalid969]

Shouldn't you be reacting to live performances since recorded music is definitely pitch-corrected? I know that live performances can be auto-tuned, but still!

[@PeterBarber]

Why would I only react to live performances? That seems so limiting. I think it's great to have a mixture of both, and point out to the audience what's different about live vs. studio recordings

[@khalid969]

@@PeterBarber I understand what you're saying, but please humor me. If I walked into a recording studio, and I can't sing btw, I can record songs and end up sounding even better than you do. If you were to react to my songs, what are you actually evaluating in that case? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I'm just looking for a way to be able to appreciate these kinds of reaction videos. Thank you in advance.

[@warfarein]

​​@@khalid969I think it's interesting that you phrase the question this way. "What are you evaluating?" In this example, you've produced a song of some kind (in order to assert "I could sound better than you do"), which means any analysis of the song is still valid. How did you put the phrases of the song together? With all the use of editing software, does the emotion of the song still come through clearly? Is the use of editing software done in an interesting or unique way? Is the song enjoyable to listen to? Electronically produced music is still music, the focus just shifts from "how good is this musician at creating the music (plus all the other aspects of analysis)" to "how good is this musician at arranging the music to do the thing they intended to do"?

[@maudglazbrooke1287]

@@khalid969 Post production can only be taken so far and still sound natural, you really can't polish a turd. You might be able to make it into something completely different but it's never going to be a good example of the first thing.

I'd love for a reactor to either save their comments for the end or during but not interrupting the flow of the song
