VOCES8: A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square - Manning Sherwin

[@CaresinVerse]

8 nightingales sang as I rested In my favorite living room chair And their singing actually bested The nightingales in Berkeley Square❣️

[@philjakopin]

Thank you for sharing such beauty in times that can feel heavy and dark. Absolutely magnificent.

[@kenziebenzy]

When two lovers meet in Mayfair, so the legends tell Songbirds sing and winter turns to spring Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell I know such enchantment can be 'cause it happened one evening to me That certain night, the night we met There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dining at the Ritz And A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square I may be right, I may be wrong But I'm perfectly willing to swear That when you turn'd and smiled at me A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square The moon that lingered over London town; Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown How could he know we two were so in love The whole darn world seemed upside down The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said goodnight A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

*Imagine opening your door to Voces 8 caroling on Christmas* 😂😂❗️

[@nedhorner]

That would be awesome!

[@ykalantzis]

Voces8 sound + Jim Clements arrangements = magic

[@JordanSullivanadventures]

This is an absolutely stunning arrangement. Chills over and over.

[@lwendt1]

Wow... God, is this gorgeous. Beautiful arrangement, love the chords and the balance of the voices is perfect! Phrasing is amazing. Great job!

[@Rainmaker65]

I grew up listening to a barbershop arrangement of this song, and greatfully put it in #1 position...as I too sang barbershop. I got the notification that a new post was up so I had to listen. #1 has been replaced... Le roi est mort...vive le roi!

[@geoffstemen3652]

Extended harmonies bang-on. Made me think of the King’s Singers. Your ancient music is top notch but so are these newer songs!

[@deshaunrua7491]

2:15 very nice Chris. Bring that Baritone out!!!

[@michaelmiller1215]

Only those of us who have sang a cappella in a mixed chorus know how challenging this is! Lovely!

[@philipmcclure6273]

Beautifully done! Also, 3 of the prettiest female nightingales, I think.

[@stvp68]

Great chord on that last goodnight!!!!

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

someday I'll find out why great choir music is so mysteriously enchanting. Or maybe not, maybe I'll leave it magic. Beautiful as always :)

A memory of "The Singers Unlimited": Absolutely beautiful!

[@WeNeedMorePeps]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh... this is right up there with the version sang by Manhattan Transfer.... so amazing!!!!

[@RickBoat]

MT's is 10, this is a 9.8 only because its too slow. It displays their incredible harmony and control.

[@12B4Christ]

Right there with MT? This surpasses MT's version in every possible way. Beyond that, you are right, it is amazing. Stunningly rich and beautiful.

[@12B4Christ]

Boat - "Too slow" says who? You? Not sure of the need to rank, but since you went there - while you're busy ranking and judging their 'performance', you are missing the entire message and flow of this lovely emotional romantic love tune. So rich, so beautiful. Voces8, you melt me.

[@hughvane]

MT's version will always be the benchmark to which others strive. This is lovely, but sounds too tentative to my ear, with overuse of surging delivery.

[@WeNeedMorePeps]

After listening to both versions multiple times, the endings are completely different, and that’s what does it for me.

[@kennewicksheri]

Glorious .. Glorious Thank you .. what my soul needed to hear today and every day Thank you for your pureness

[@Tommeadowcroft]

That’s a wonderful new arrangement. Most previously have been SATB. Let me be the first to encourage you to publish this SSAATTBB arrangement with all due haste. Voces8 is an inspiration to a cappella choirs around the world.

[@composer_jim]

Glad you like it, Tom!

[@milesgordon1297]

www.singers.com/group/Voces8/ - this has many of Jim's arrangements, so stay tuned for this one (hopefully)

[@ellaleesvloggies1203]

absolutely perfect blending of voices. Divine!

[@benday7020]

Because it's a studio recording that's been edited. It's not live.

[@SACWarrior70s]

Sorry, Ben... you or the rest of us don't know that. I think it was outstanding. Maybe post sweetened, but I don't think so. I would also look at the overall wide shots, verses close, with many matches in the vocal sync with the words and the actual film/tape. Obvious Old Ben has not gotten his scrathy voice recorded and then help edit those recordings. I have...several times as a keyboard Muscian, chorister, Ultra Soprano before 12, girls were jealous than, and eventually baritone when the "Men" fell into place after, until I left in my midtwenties, on at least three records and 4 film and video sessions. Radio & TV production major, radio announcer & live sound engineer recordist, videographer, director, and audio, film, & video tape editor on tape formats....Pick- up a Red or Dragon Camera, Ben, marry it with a steadcam and shooting monitors, maybe some fill/key lights, and some mic booms and let a ZOOM 6 or other digital deck record the group on audio or Atmos. I used a Video HiFi Stereo Sound Recorder once to record my Yamaha Original pieces and they came out ok. We got some digital flutter on one piece but actually liked the effect. Record something and then tell us it waa all studio recorded!.....poppycock! Live is unique, exciting, and a very historic one time events. Unforgetable and non-duplicateable!

Very nice harmony. A bit odd to see you singing with an audiotrack that doesn’t seem to be taken from that place, I take it’s a studio recording?

[@Chiupacabra]

Yeah I'd much prefer a video of them singing in the studio over this 360 degree camera panning stuff.

[@SACWarrior70s]

AC...THAT's bland! True accappella is sweet... These recordings are excelent... Standing around mics sucks... I think you need to get out more k hard to nown I know.) and check out many choral groups. You'll see this group not only has the sound but presence in live recordiing. Yes, there probably are studio recordings for the recordings they perform, but not all fixed locations like Abby Roads offer consistantly good sound for all recordings. Look at Baltimore Consort. (Early Music Group) Very very few times did they ever record themselves on Dorian Records with any individual mics for their instruments or vocal music from star singer Custer LaRue, when she also sang sans solo pieces. The Troy Banks Performance Hall in Troy, NY was their hall of "record!" True One Point Binaural Recording process was accomlished and succeeded in getting perfect blends thru special audio production engineering on many of their albums. I didn't know the younger student, of my teacher, who started Dorian Records, his own recording company, too. I started one too, but progressed to video production and sound support... Dorian achievements in classical and early music recordings are renown in the industry. The label still exsists, but has been assimulated into another conglomerated record company...

[@lila7438]

[@matt_tang21]

i love that song. I'm doing that with my school concert choir. I don't know how it will sound with just eight voices though. My concert choir has 100 people in it.

[@serbancentea]

One of my favorites composers - George Enescu - once said 'There's no big music or small music. Only Good, or Bad'. So this was Good. Very Good. But my sweet Voces8 friends, don't forget your mission in this world. In Carols or Jazz, you're as good as Pentatonix or anyone else. But in classical and modern choir singing, you're the best by a mile. Still unbeatable. So stay healthy and go back to your roots. More Bach, more motets, more Eric Whtacre, more Arvo Part. You might also try some strange music from a strange country : kzbin.info. Cheers !
