Amazing Indeed!

Here is an a capella rendition of “Amazing Grace” (courtesy of Celtic Thunder) that is truly wonderful.  I love this song, and I love a capella, so this is a double love.  Enjoy!

What do you get when you combine an a capella vocal group with a tribute to “Queen?” You get the Voca People, a phenomenal group singing a medley built around “Bohemian Rhapsody.”  Enjoy!

Hey Star Wars fans, here is a wonderful Star Wars-themed, four-part a cappella musical tribute, set to cinematic themes from composer John Williams.  Corey Vidal is simply wonderful.  This is just fun!  Enjoy!

 

A Capella!

December 16, 2010

Here is a wonderful Choral piece entitled “Goin’ to Bethlehem,” by Jay Althouse.  This version is your standard SATB (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass), but our church choir is working on an arrangement that features just the male voices: TTBB (Tenor I, Tenor II, Baritone, and Bass).  Not only is this a fun piece to listen to, it is really fun to sing.  While I am normally relegated to singing strictly bass lines, I’m being allowed to sing the Baritone part on this one and I’m really having a great time.

a capella

“In the manner of the chapel,”  from cappella  “chapel.” Originally in reference to older church music (pre-1600) which was written for unaccompanied voices; applied 20th century to unaccompanied vocal music generally.
