5:58 is what Jon's community calls a "growling dismount" (I believe Caleb was the first to call it that during one of Jon's Twitch streams) and first watching this video, it made me happy in a stupid way, that Colm did it as well. And now, you doing it as part of your analysis - perfect. :D And I don't know this for sure, but I have seen Jon tracking vocals on his stream many times now, and I highly doubt he recorded the video and vocals at the same time. Cause usually tracking vocals he goes phrase by phrase and line by line and does parts of it again and picks the pieces he likes best from different takes. And if you pay attention, you can see him peak over for lyrics on many of his videos. But like I said, I don't actually know this, so maybe for this one, he did, since it's different from most stuff he usually does. 🤷

@Eternal_Songbird8 ай бұрын
Colm's voice truly is interesting when you deep dive into the sound/think about the timbre of it. Jonathan's sound is so weighted with grit and gravity. Bobby's is svelt and regal with an INSANE clarity. With Colm, his throat is SO open/cavernous - as you've said - that i think we hear it as such a PURE sound. So pure it sounds impossible to be organically coming from a person even though we KNOW it's coming from him. Something i noticed with so many bass singers is that naturally you can hear that their sound is - for lack of better words - almost generated from the back of the nasal passage and throat and the timbre - again, for a lack of better words - almost sounds like someone's singing through a swallow. Absolutely ZERO criticism or hating on it, but I find that quality often common in many bass singers - which means it's probably a natural seat of sound. with these three, it's not so much the case, and MAN does the sound production they naturally generate sound so much more unique because of that.

"Wer meines Speeresspitze fürchtet durchschreite das Feuer nie!" How do these singers maintain their breath and phrasing while climbing up to that final E above middle C? And over those huge orchestrations? Could you do it? That's awesome stuff and it directly predicts future movie soundtracks like John Williams or the Lord of the Rings. Or how about the Inquisitor Scene from 'Don Carlo'? That takes TWO basses having a dramatic sing-off! Plishka vs Hines or Furlanetto vs Ghiarov?

Phantom of the Opera, which he covers both parts himself. Last year he did a duet with operasinger Kristin Starkey, who also explores metal like Floor. She's a contra alto.

Personally, it took me a while before learning these lyrics by heart. A lot of the lyrics for this song aren't predictable, especially mentioning the Kingdoms of Nargothrond and Gondolin, both of which, I believe, were Elvin kingdoms - something you don't hear Dwarven songs mention quite often. I don't have a problem with any of them cheating with the lyrics open for them to go off of, in my opinion. Great analysis, loved the video!
@vishnu79Ай бұрын
Nargothrond was a subterranean city built by Finrod, built under the banks of the Narog River. Gondolin was built into a hidden vale high up in the northern mountains of Beleriand, with the only way into the city being a hidden path through lower ravines of the mountains and an underground tunnel with seven gates, each made of a a specific type of metal. Although Gondolin was built by Turgon to hide from Morgoth, it is likely that the Dwarves would have had contact with both cities due to where they are situated.

Mister barber, I have a question, I love bass voices, to all of us who don't have your knowledge in music is there a way that when we hear a bass singer to realize if he is a basso profundo, basso cantibile or basso baritone? I mean is there any difference for those three to sing the low notes and give absolute magic when their voices sing those low notes? Sorry if my question seem to be stupid though
@PeterBarber8 ай бұрын
Not a stupid question at all, and happy to answer it. All three of those are bass voice types, but different flavors of bass. Basso profundo is the most obvious to pick out -- they are the rarest voice type in music, period. The basso profundo voice really "opens up" and gets louder going into their bass range. And they generally have very limited range up top, although there are exceptions. Basso cantante and bass-baritone are much more similar. Basso cantante has the low range of a true bass voice, but is generally lighter and more flexible than a basso profundo, with less power and more access to high notes (that's what many people call my voice type in opera). Bass-baritone is quite similar, except they usually have slightly less access to the lows -- they can still sing bass rep, but usually not low bass rep. And they have even greater access to high notes. Then within bass-baritone, you can have dramatic bass-baritone or lyric bass-baritone
