    Thank you so much for this. Today, specifically. As artists, we sometimes fail to see or feel the impact our art has on others. So let me be plain and just tell you. Thank you. My heart, today, needed to hear peace and slumber. It needed to hear that someone would watch over me to guard my dreams from terror and fear. I just love you guys so much. And the OCEAN doesn't know the volume of that gorgeous alto voice.

    These musical works are important. Sweet, quit moments hold the essence of our living and model peace and relaxation in the world which needs it desperately. Whitacre also takes everyday living experiences and raises them into grateful living and love of life. Voces8, keep radiating your music and promoting the beauty we have on earth. Kudo’s to Blake.

    Brilliant arrangement and a brilliant performance. And ... As a trombonist I've always agreed with the notion that this instrument is the closest to the human voice. I would LOVE to hear a group like The New Trombone Collective perform this arrangement. They are perfectly capable of a similarly stunning rendition of Blake's fine work.

      @@rumar4u Alto and tenor ranges overlap a great deal. She's definitely at the bottom of her range here, but I'd assure you she sings this low in other pieces; it's just that it's mixed in the harmony and thus harder to pick it out.

    • @rumar4u
      @rumar4u Год назад +4

      @@jemiller226 She sings some low E2 notes here - I'll say that's pretty good and definitely not common for her (not saying she hasn't) - the song modulates to fit the group more comfortable before returning back to the original Key.
      What I liked about this song is - having the melody on mid low (tenor) to mid (alto) range, as is sweeter to my ears because of the resonance and extra tones that give fuller sound. Contrary to most people, I don't like Soprano's high pitch that pierces above everything (love the Humming) nor those extra long sustained notes with lots of Vibrato - but that's subjective.
