When I'm Sixty Four 64 (The Beatles) - A Cappella Barbershop Quartet

[@johnnypastrana6727]

Paul was only 16 years old when he composed this song...my God, how did he have such insight about getting older at such a tender age? Amazing...

None can beat the combination of Dan, Sonny, Julien and Dieter. Melifluous voices, blending and balancing beautifully together. And with those expressions thrown in for good measure, they are a treat to the eyes and ears! Thank you!!

Japanese: a generalization, but a key to your awesomeness is your humility, combined with doing what it takes to achieve your goals. This response is 4 years after your post, but I'm thinking that your command of the English language is by now better than 80% (at least) of those residing in primarily-English-speaking countries. I would currently describe the majority of us (at least in the United States) in 3 words (it's a cliche, but true) FAT, DUMB, AND HAPPY. Come on in, my friend. . . we could use the new blood!

[@lizoliver4407]

Years ago I taught this to my adult evening class but had to change the words to 84 as so many were 65 & over.

[@JulienNeel]

Thanks! :) Sonny recorded the lead first, using a click track, then I recorded bass, listening to his part, then Dieter recorded baritone and finally Dan. We've all done many such projects, we're getting a bit used to it now I suppose.

[@JulienNeel]

I don't understand your question, there's a typo that makes it confusing. Sonny recorded his lead, we did find it a little slow but it sounded great, so we went along with it. You have to keep in mind we only hear the actual result once everything is recorded, so things aren't as clear during the process as they are afterwards.

[@vacationfan15]

Wow, so good!

[@knotwilg3596]

There are a few reasons: - The baritone part swerves around the lead. It's quite often above it, so you could confuse it with tenor. - Sonny and I have blending voices, something we only discovered through these collabs. If you hear us singing solo, you'd never think we blend that well. - The baritone is always the hardest to pick, because the rest is high, low and ... lead. At 1:40 and 2:50 I'm with one other voice only. Listen to my color there and try finding it in the rest of the song.

[@Chuckles..]

[@SirMalorak]

This different harmony-like singing, how do you call this for a more chanting style? So, you still have multiple people hitting different tones but the whole theme not being this..Uh...Happy I guess? It's hard to describe, any help is appreciated. (I tried searching for harmonic chant and didn't find anything.) Great video anyway :)

[@JulienNeel]

I'm a bit confused by your question, but I'll try to answer it. This style of a cappella music (no instruments, just voices), is called barbershop. It's a type of vocal jazz, where 4 male voices sing together. The melody is sung by one of the two highest voices, but not the highest, and it's called the "lead", the other high voice is the tenor. There are two lower voices called "baritone" and "bass". Barbershop has a very recognizable color to it and it's a ton of fun to sing, you should give it a try if you have a barbershop chorus on your town.

[@SirMalorak]

Well, that wasn't my question, I do know what a Barbershop quartet is. I've heard choirs do something similiar, just not this jazz-y and I asked whether you know how that's called or not. Thanks for the reply anyway!

[@JulienNeel]

SirMalorak Ah I see, you are asking about different genres of a cappella singing that can take a given song but apply kinds of chords to it to give it a different texture. Do you mean Gregorian? gospel? choral?

[@SirMalorak]

***** Something like that I guess. Gregorian is close, but I'm searching for this "everyone is hitting a different note but it still sounds good" majigger. Gregorian is just a good amount of people singing the same note, but it is close, yes. Thanks again.

[@jeff94582]

If you are confused about the style.....It is Barbershop quartet.......based on the music of the early 1900's. I.E. "In the good old Summertime". (1903).
