Peter Hollens & Tim Foust "Misty Mountains" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach/Opera Singer

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

We just released merchandise! Check out the full line-up here: thecharismaticmerch.com

[@zamorvex]

dont you think there was such a strong feeling of the neverending story? especially at peters falsetto up in the higher note that sounded like high glass harmonica sound. when i heard it i had flashes from the film fantasy and the the never ending story when atrau goes to see the oracal

[@MrRabiddogg]

You may have to get a new keyboard if he gets any lower.

[@asuarezjd]

Please! Pray peruse Peter/Tim in the link (The Sound of Silence) 6 yrs ago. In your Tea Time w/ Tim you were surprised they went back to 2003. This was my first and was mesmerized, they were perfect singing together. Note: You can add the sublime! the perfect trio! You optimize their synergy, you have their same candor and bubbling personality! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXnFoIGQba15fJo

[@whiteknightcat]

If you love low notes, then you MUST experience the work of Clamavi de Profundis, if you haven't already. Far Over the Misty Mountains was from the Hobbit, not the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the song was referring to the lost dwarven kingdom of Erebor, not Dwarrowdelf (Moria). Only part of the poem/song were used in the film, so here is the full work, dramatically performed. It will give you goosebumps as you feel the deep and utter sadness of the loss of their kingdom, and maybe even shed a tear. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmncnpp8rt-VetE

[@WIZARDCONQUEROR]

One thing a lot of people seem to miss/forget was that this song/poem was written by Tolkien himself. It is in The Hobbit in the chapter An Unexpected Party. It seems many people believe this was made for the movie which is incorrect. Tolkien was a mastermind of fantasy, world building, and immersion

[@catwhowalksbyhimself]

The tune was written for the movie using the lyrics written by Tolkien. It's my favorite part of the movie. It's perfect.

[@domb6183]

Yes Tolkien wrote the lyrics but the piece was originally called lonely Mountain not misty Mountain as it is talking about the loss of the dwarfhold 'lonely Mountain' to Smaug

[@RoderickWeelen]

@JediNxf7 True. Most of the verses are in "An Unexpected Party" (10) , some "Queer Lodgings" (6), where the party stays at BEORN and some in "The Gathering of the Clouds" (7), after the slaying of Smaug.

[@gorgarath]

The version from the old cartoon version from the 70s is also an interesting take and quite different.

[@minifeebas8911]

@@domb6183 as far as I know, there is no real title for this song. Tolkien never gave it one

[@buddystewart2020]

I can't imagine anyone wanting this to sound any differently than it does considering the theme of the project. The production has a layer of ancient dust over it, damp air, and mystery. Even the look of the video is perfect for this piece. I've been waiting for a vocal coach to react to this, thanks for taking up the gauntlet.

[@brentwright2679]

I've got a deep voice and that's 100% my reaction too.

[@Reaperherpderp]

Creamy low notes indeed it seems

[@robertoprestigiacomo253]

Since she mentions the lore of the misty mountains, for those who are interested: The song is about the fall of Erebor, 171 years before the events in the Hobbit (not so anciant after all but in medieval fantasy everything has an ancient vibe) and the desire of Thorin's family to return to their home. Curiously Erebor, the Lonely Mountain, is not part of the Misty Mountains though. Erebor was one of the settlements of Thorin's ancestors. It was discovered more or less 840 years before the events of the Hobbit. It was abandoned 200 years later and repopulated almost 400 more years later. Finally, Smaug arrived from the north and occupied the fortress.

[@henrypaleveda7760]

isn't it about coming back to Erebor but its location means that they need to cross the misty mountians to get there?

[@Th3BigBoy]

@@henrypaleveda7760 Yes.

[@afrosteven1]

@@henrypaleveda7760 the song itself is to do with the fleeing and going back. wind was moaning and trees were burning as they fled. the long forgotten gold is as they are going back because its been so long. its not uncommon for stories and ideals to be passed down through song, as far as the movie is concerned this would have been written after they fled, to leave something for the younger dwarves to remind them to go back. I say the movie, as that is not the version thats in the book. after reading the original commenters comment though, Im just repeating what they said without a bunch of timeframes thrown in.

[@lynfl9814]

Love the gorgeous pairing of Peter and Tim in this deep, mystical song. Put this video on a computer or on a TV and watch Tim's body as he sings that incredible low note at the end. The low note makes his body quiver. If you watch his fur collar on the coat, you can see the hairs quivering. These two gentlemen, their entire production and mixing team did an over the top job with the music, attire and scenery. You feel like you are right in the story of the The Lord of the Rings.

[@ilonaknuutinen]

Peter was my first a cappella-love, found him as a teenager at 16-ish in 2013(?) and led me to Pentatonix and Home free ❤️ Peter's arragements, vocal talent and humility and niceness are all too rare in this world, I am so happy to have found him and a cappella!

[@riverstyx9618]

Peter Hollens is an amazing singer and arranger! And Tim Foust... one of just four living I know of who can sing in that basement. Tim Storm has a wider range (on both ends) but one can find little of his work on KZbin. Tim Foust goes to A0 in "Sold" and "Thnk a Little Less" and has a five octave range. His voice is clear and penetrating. Avi Kaplan's voice is more "velvety" and smooth and his range is almost as wide. Geoff Castellucci's voice is full and resonant and also has excellent control over a wide range. They're all amazing voices and it's a joy to listen every one of them. I don't know if Avi has done any composing or arranging, but both Tim Foust and Geoff have.

[@stanbannmusic8334]

Great reaction to a fabulous piece! One of the things you'll notice about Tim is that many of his extreme low notes come at the end of phrases when mere mortals would be reaching for oxygen. In this case I didn't hear a breath before the last depth charge. Other times he'll drop these in the background not to draw attention to himself but because it's called for musically. Both Peter and Tim are impeccable musicians first and foremost. Its the musical result, not the ego, that reigns supreme with both men. And our hearts and ears reap the benefits! Keep the great reactions coming!

I have been listening to Peter Hollens for quite some time now. He is a talented vocalist and producer, but is also just such A NICE PERSON. Tim Foust is a legend. This version of Misty Mountains is so good that at times you can feel it in your bones. Peter Hollens does collaborations with other vocalists as well and has some really beautiful covers. I Love Avi Kaplan and Peter singing the beautiful song "Black is the color of my True Love's Hair". Nina Simone originally sang it, I believe, but until the Peter and Avi collaboration, The Corr's cover was my favorite. It would be fun to see you discuss all three of those versions of that song. Thank you very much for discussing the Misty Mountains cover today. I always look forward to your videos. - Cymru

If you loved this, you will be happy to know that Peter and Tim have collaborated on several other songs, my favorite being their version of Sound of Silence. Peter also did Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair with Avi Kaplan and it's stunning. Peter and friends did an awesome medley from Hamilton. His collaboration with the Gardiner Sisters on a Pirates of the Caribbean medley is a must-hear. Also his Disney Villains Medley, and his version of Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame. Throw in some Lindsay Sterling on violin and you have a very cool Skyrim cover. I would love to see your take on those. I don't know if you've heard of the Swingle Singers. They did a Hollins collaboration, too. But they do incredible a capella arrangements of everything from folk songs, pop standards, to jazz and classical instrumental pieces. Yes, instrumentals, as in Bach. As a classically-trained singer myself, I get goosebumps whenever I hear a capella done really well. Speaking of Tim, on behalf of us Home Fries, I just wanna throw out there this one by Home Free: Folsom Prison Blues. I know a lot of people will want to hear Mayday (and Tim is amazing as always) but as a Johnny Cash fan, I think the guys just made the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Okay, I'll stop fangirling now. I love watching your reactions. Keep up the good work!

I LOVE your reactions and analyses! ^^

[@Lasilintunen1]

I just love it that you're such a fangirl. Your reactions are always joy to watch.

[@Beemerboy324]

I really love how much you love music. Love from the Washington coast.

[@Obake352]

You mentioned Peter's layering sounding like a choir. Should check out his rendition of Homeward Bound...sung with a choir! Glorious!

[@tomdyer4563]

I love watching you have ear-gasms when you listen to Tim. I have seen Home Free in concert 6 times. They are amazing live!!

[@MJ-92]

Have a listen of the "Clamavi de Profundis" take on this 'song'. They're another acapella group you'll enjoy.

[@rustyshackleford6906]

It makes me very happy to see people suggesting this!!

[@kanteannightmare]

I love how expressive you are, it makes your videos fun to watch.

[@rayhedberg9614]

Now that you've broken the Peter Hollens ice...more, more, more please! He is, in my humble opinion, the king of a cappella and always a pleasure to hear whether alone or in collaboration!

[@JWelk92]

One of my favorite songs... and your way of explaining it at the end... really paints a picture.

[@Natilra]

As you love Peter's layering with clean notes, I think his cover of Dark Horse with Sam Tsui is one of the best examples. It plays with your ear so cleverly. Peter Hollens also did a Hobbit Drinking Songs Medley, if that's something that you'd be interested in.

[@michaelhiett1413]

You are my favorite professional to watch with these reactions and analysis of music. You also taught me things that I didn't understand from my music theory class. Thank you.

[@aidbotwoody939]

Clamavi de Profundis has created some really incredible music from lord of the rings, they have a range of singers that they use but the music is really amazing

[@patrickschulz9936]

Your love for music is visible in each video I watch. You are authentic and this makes your videos special. Thank you very much for sharing them.

[@george217]

You might like to listen to "The Hound and the Fox" they're a couple who have worked with Home Free and Peter Hollens on occasion...

[@rebeccavandam2834]

I like their ( fox and hound) recent Halloween piece

[@azeemsyed8550]

Three Kings by them has Tim too

[@sallymaria]

Yes - you mentioned FifGen, but did you know that two of the trio that made up FifGen are also singers and musicians, and now have their own channel as the Hound and the Fox?

[@mikeakers1209]

I think this was your best reaction yet! Watching all the small micro movements in your face anyone who see you knows your extreme passion for not just music in general but each and every note it's beautiful beyond compare and the giggle at the end is the cherry on top you truly are a beautiful lady and a music connoisseur

[@somePYROMANIAC]

Please react to more of Peter Holllens. He has covered all of the Lord of the Rings songs and he is a treasure that needs to be shared.
