Hey Brandon, Great work on that instrument. You and Reggie Mobley need to collaborate with the Bass Singers Look up "Hoist The Colors (Bobby Bass)" Very impressive bass voices. You all have talent and with like minded artists you all could make some beatifully great music. Im pretty sure of it.

[@that44rdv4rk]

now that's the kind of luteing I like to see on the news.

[@DaveDurango]

[@MW-bv3wu]

It took me a minute to get it. I was like, "Luteing? But that's the theorb ... oh."

[@kishascape]

[@MoonSpinners]

As soon as I saw Reginald Mobley’s name I couldn’t click fast enough. You compliment each other so well. 🤗

[@kishascape]

A gift from the heavens.

[@brandonacker]

Lyrics: O solitude, my sweetest choice, Places devoted to the night, Remote from tumult and from noise, How ye my restless thoughts delight! O heav’ns! what content is mine To see those trees, which have appear’d From the nativity of time, And which all ages have rever’d, To look today as fresh and green As when their beauties first were seen. Oh, how agreeable a sight These hanging mountains do appear, Which th’ unhappy would invite To finish all their sorrows here, When their hard fate makes them endure Such woes as only death can cure. Oh, how I solitude adore! That element of noblest wit, Where I have learned Apollo’s lore, Without the pains to study it. For thy sake I in love am grown With what thy fancy does pursue; But when I think upon my own, I hate it for that reason too, Because it needs must hinder me From seeing and from serving thee. O solitude, oh, how I solitude adore!

[@jayr526]

Thank you.

[@mindthetimeless8630]

Thank you

[@user-wj9po2fq3u]

Thanks for your performance! And for the no-nails guitar video

[@Stefan_Kawalec]

And all this on breakfast TV. Impressive.

[@kaysec]

I went to the college of music (FSU) with Reggie! So cool to see him collaborate with you!

[@Magelord79]

"Such woes as only death can cure". I love Purcell not only for his expressive music but also for the poetry. And the performance was so good, that each line was not only intelligible but also full of emotion. We need more of this in the daily news!

[@jackieparcell1370]

I love this singer, he brings Henry Purcell's music to life in the present day - awesome voice!

[@nexuennex9151]

Bravo! And good on the tv people that made this happen.

[@the___dude]

Such an amazing performance. Bravo to both!

[@WARTHUL]

A few day ago I saw this posted on my subscriptions feed but scrolled past it; then yesterday I decided to finally play this clip, and so I did on my TV. The moment Reginald Mobley started to sing I was mesmerized, like I was hypnotyzed by all of it: the notes that Brandon played on his theorbo, the voice of Reginald, the verses, the song itself. It literally took my breath away! And after the clip finished I also decided to also play it again but this time on my headphones and boy, oh boy! The simplicity but then again the complexity of it is just simply divine! For the first time in my life I think this is the first song thar literally resonated with my core! At the end I was in this state of madness, wanting more of this song, and so I started to search for other performances and I found other two, I guess, that I like, but this one here is my ground zero, this very exact performance and interpretation is beyond everything else! With my utmost sincerity, bravo to both of you!

[@moving-spaces]

You and Reginald are amazing together.

[@warp9988]

Chills up and down my spine. So beautiful.

[@bluevayero]

Reggie's performance is stunning 🤩

[@rosered6143]

I could listen to them both play and sing all day. ☺️

[@inflorescences]

Lovely! Seeing you and Reggie perform together is always such a treat

[@cannonmartin365]

That's a great thumbnail if you aren't familiar with that instrument

[@peteradaniel]

I didn’t think they grew out their nails for the theorbo, isn’t that more of a classical guitar thing?

[@jimthebeet8862]

He is a classical guitarist as well - going back and forth probably isn’t very doable

[@mk_rexx]

Wow! 👏👏👏 That was incredible! But that handsome guy playing the theorbo though...Magnificent!

[@turolainen5263]

Look at these gentlemen! Bravo!

[@urosjarc3450]

I have never been an opera person, but when you two perform "Music For A While" together... I felt that my heart is still not locked. It was waiting for a key and you guys have it!

[@Opuskrokus]

There's quite a lot of vocal music that isn't opera, like this song here. There are all sorts of vocal classical music. You really should investigate, it will be rewarding.

[@urosjarc3450]

@@Opuskrokus Do you know what style is this by name? I would love to know more... It's kinda hard to search for this kind of music... Usually I search for classical guitar, but they are usually joust music without the voice?

[@kobiee2x137]

@@urosjarc3450 i believe it's called baroque

[@christopherotto5433]

@@urosjarc3450 sometimes it's just 'song', I think. You may be successful searching for artists who specialize in this sort of thing. Try Emma Kirkby

Did the beauty of this video make me cry? Yes. Will I watch this on repeat? Also yes :)

[@KingHill2015]

Now this is music,love it

[@PerpetuallyTiredMusician]

oh yes Reginald with the magical voice is back. I am happy we are not enemies because if there is someone who could probably sing me to death with sweet musically induced emotion its this man. Great performance as always Brandon! peace

[@tarznjones4243]

Woah that voice 😍

[@dr.zither]

Wow! I'm at a loss for words. Bravo!

[@tangramman]

Very incredible piece, and a great performance! Your playing and his voice meld so well together.

[@MDMvision]

You deserve to be presented as an accompanying musician :) and they could have said something about the lute being the traditional 17th century instrument as well...most people have never seen something like that before.

[@MDMvision]

Theorbo, there you go

[@davidnefesh]

Cool gig, Brandon - and beautiful performance and accompaniment. It's wonderful too to expose a broader population to the Theorbo. Warm wishes from Detroit!

[@danielalzapiedi7171]

Sublime! Finally early music getting some love on a morning TV show. Let's see if we can get some momentum going - share and let's get this Theorbo trending. Also, @Brandonacker, do you think we could get a theorbo/counter tenor duo of Purcell's 'Thy Hand Belinda'/'When I am Laid'?? Please :)
