    Silent Night is a spiritual song. The arrangement of this beautiful song with Avi interjecting Peace is something we all need right now. I'm all for the spiritual side of Christmas, not the commercialism.

    PTX has turned "Silent Night" into a soft, beautiful lullaby. The emphasis on the word "sleep" has such a soothing and calming effect - sung by the voices of angels.

    I'm showing my age, but in 1976, I toured Germany with a youth orchestra. We were from a fine arts camp. We had an orchestra, jazz band, concert band & choir. We got to sing a madrigal thing in a church in Strasbourg, France & it was so magical! These guys are always magical!!!

    This was shot in a cathedral in Germany while they were on a European tour. Watch how Avi smiles now and then while the trio sings, and then how Scott looks over at Avi a few times, especially right as Avi sings that last note. Also note that they have their eyes closed, feeling each other throughout the song, tuning into each other.

      Charlotte can you do me a favor for a missing connection on Fantasy Records website that I can't get the attention of anyone to fix yet over the last 2 months? I even joined his fan club on Facebook and they just told me to try again. Well that was a couple of weeks ago now again. Perhaps you have a connection with Avi's reps? It is quite simple. When you go into Fantasy Records in the first page you go down past several categories to "Our Artists" and Avi isn't there. It is where people can subscribe to the artist's own page as well but he just isn't there. He is in other places but not where it is easy to click on the link and subscribe to his page.
      Very frustrating. Can you get through to someone to get it fixed? Here is the link directly to the page where the problem is

    Barry ☘️, Thanks! This is beautiful. This morning I have listened to this 5-6 times. The singing of course and the setting too! Yes! Perfect. The beautiful arch perfectly lit behind them, the sound echoing. I am so so pleased that this was live. Read, no Mission Control Center. They are their own sliders and knobs. One thing that struck me here is their voice control. Even their coordinated breathing added to the musicality. Not even sure that made sense.
    I am sure by now you know I am someone that likes to be immersed in an experience with all of my senses. So, here again, make a spot for me on the floor there. I can’t tell you how badly I want to have been lying there drinking this in. And Barry, please add yourself in there right between Mitch and Scott. I imagine that you could sing well in this style.
    I know that it is partly the echo and that it is unaccompanied, but the sound at 4:00 - 4:36 reminded me of William Byrd or Thomas Tallis compositions. Is that considered a floating melody? That is how I hear it anyway. Very moving. (It’s too serious to concentrate much on the obvious pun there) Something I want to experience in my life is to hear early church music being sung in a church like this. I am certain it would be an experience that would evoke awe.

    Dear Barry, did you know that this song is more than 200 years old and originally written in German language, originated in Austria near Salzburg and since 2011 it is accepted by the UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of Austria? Since then it is translated into more than 320 languages and dialects. Whenever I listen to this song (since childhood, I loved that song sung by a male choir my father sang in) Christmas finds its way into my heart. ... And tears into my eyes... Love this rendition and your reaction to the song! Merry Christmas and love from Germany

    The vocal coaches love this one to react to. First because they love live acoustic performances without any additional reverb or studio effects possible demonstrating the purity of the individual voices. The different styles of music they incorporated using a round in place of a chorus. How it demonstrates how the bass line actually directs the melody usually in performances. The use in this case of both of his vocal registers, the standard and then the upper by the bass singer Avi Kaplan in the round portion of the song. Quite unusual vocal although bass singers can use it if they practice enough similarly to higher pitched singers.
    I do like this.

They were in the church for some reason I don’t know offhand, heard the acoustics in this section, and decided it was the perfect place to film a live rendition of this song.

    Beautiful reaction, Barry. Drew a tear to my eye, and I don't mean the song.
    After Christmas, a similar song in that it's basically just filmed in a wonderful acoustic setting without needing much if any post-production (this time a basement hallway somewhere), is their cover of "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye. Also, if you're not familiar with it already, the original is an amazing song, emotional in a very different way, and well worth watching. Perhaps you'd consider a double-header?

    Ah, Barry, as you love Silent Night, can I recommend that you listen to Emma Kirkby sing it? Not a review necessarily, but just for your own enjoyment. It’s such a delicate and pretty version, done in 3/4, waltz time.
    Thank you for this reaction/review. Great as always. Happy Christmas. ❤️

    Play on video….
    Awwww, this song made Barry cry as a child….that is sweet…..One of your favorite all time songs?
    Okay….
    I am afraid to even say this, I realize it is a crime possibly, but I do not know what my favorite Christmas song may be? I have never really given that much thought for some unknown reason. We would go Christmas caroling and sing a lot of Christmas songs, including this one, but beyond that, I don’t have a favorite? I don’t think? Obviously I need to give this some thought? (Don’t yell at me Barry! 😂)
    B ☘️ presses play for the Reaction….
    In a church so we know the acoustics are going to be great!
    Beautiful! Wowzers!
    I hear you Avi! (Let’s not get me started on my recent Bass Dude obsession, it is a phase, I am sure I will move on to something else? Right? Right! 😂)
    Mitch! Mitch! Sigh….
    Kirsten and her vibrato cutting through them all. I really think she is so necessary for them, she brings a lightness somehow and it is steady, it is almost like a guarantee, and one you do not need to worry about, freeing others up to wow you, but without her, it would be much more empty? And then at times wowing you with her own part? (Look at me trying to make music sense at 4 am with no sleep? 😂)
    End of reaction and I do believe Barry likes it….
    B ☘️ Play the Review….
    You just said the vibrato! I already said Kirsten’s vibrato 👆🏻👆🏻!
    Yes, the three of them harmonizing is so lovely….
    Yes, you are correct, Avi brings the texture. I probably would have said depth and seriousness to this song but you are the expert so we shall go with you! Avi, with the repeated, sleep, sleep….I mean come on! He gets a love eyes for that alone! 😍 (👈🏻 just for Avi, I so rarely hand those out!)
    End of Review….
    Yeah counting is necessary with acapella at times, otherwise, the parts come in all over the place. I went to a church one time that had a piano and I was so lost? I had no idea when to start, I am sure that is obvious to everybody, but really in acapella congregational singing you don’t really start at the start, the more enthusiastic singers may come in by the 2nd word, the rest by the 3rd or 4th word. Isn’t that strange?
    I loved this, so beautiful!
    Maybe by next Christmas I will have a favorite Christmas song? (B ☘️ did you just roll your eyes? 🙄) 😂

      Oh I hope they gave her something to make her as comfortable as possible. Yes hospitals, I’ve always hated them and movies and video games have made they extra scary.
      A very merry Irish Christmas to you T 🎅
      Yes I didn’t understand why the tune alone made me cry as a child, I had no sad attachment to it, it just moved me, when I didn’t even know what it meant to be moved. Who could have predicted that years later my “moved by music videos” would become my job 🙄
      I’ve never preformed a Capella always have musicians or a track, maybe one day….
      You better get thinking T, you only have 7 months to find your favourite ⏰

      I think all of my comments are now sent to the approval place? My next question would obviously be why you are not automatically checking the approval place by now? 😂 😂
      Have mercy, my relief from night hospital duty didn’t arrive until 10 am! Someone missed the memo on the duty roster? She was home by noon, I could have just stayed there and brought her home myself? They had good coffee though and thank goodness. I was struggling big time by 7 am? I came back here and crashed, which didn’t make the 4 year old happy at all. I managed 2 hours before she woke me up. 😂 She keeps wanting to go outside but it was 105 degrees here today. I said, AB, (which to your ear probably sounds like Aaaaaa Bbbeeee) I can do a lot of things but sit outside when it is 105 is not one of them. I got a pout face. 😂
      Oh she had the pain relief available but getting her to take it was another problem? There was a lot of this going on last night by me 🙄. She was not exactly all there and I finally told the nurse to bring it anyway and she did. 🙄
      Here is a protest sign 🪧 because I didn’t see a single man anything at all the entire time? Not a nurse, not a doctor, not even another patient or visiting another patient? I am beginning to feel paranoid about this, I mean the odds should be quite high that there would be one man somewhere? And in my favor? 😂
      About 2 am I handed her my phone with your PTX 90’s dance medley and that turned into a ridiculous situation. 😂 The goal, to get her mind off of things, was to identify the 90’s songs she knew. She kept saying, he is funny, I like his accent where is he from, hahahaha he is so funny, he can sing what does he do? 🙄 At the same time I was saying, do you know that song, how about that song. So it turned into….Do you know that song, he is funny, how about that song, he is so funny, how about that song, where is he from his accent blah blah blah. Finally this was me, giving up 🙄. But as a distraction it worked?
      Well, I would say that music always moved you and you were headed in the direction of the person you would become? Tuned In, as in literally. Music does that to me as well but probably not in the same way as it does you.
      7 months to find my favorite Christmas song?!?! The pressure! 😂 I may just default this to Queen and “Thank God It’s Christmas”? I mean that would be the obvious, the easiest and the most boring answer. Also predictable, another word that is never used to describe me? So can’t go with my default and easy answer. Again the pressure! ⏰

      No men… that is strange… I’ve been told there’s at least 15 of us world wide (real official number) and normally you have them trying to buy you food so it’s very strange indeed 🧐
      I’m sure the heat is unBarryable (sorry I couldn’t resist) but we had 47 degrees Fahrenheit today and if we hit 68 it will be the hottest temperature of the year.
      That’s very sweet to hear that she was watching my video and she thought I was funny (clearly she’s delirious) but seriously that really is sweet. Tell her, the daft Irish man says hi👋
      Prepare to be shocked……….. Queen has a Christmas song???
      Maybe I know it, if I heard it… but as of now I don’t think I do… The title’s not ringing any bells… jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle…. Sorry I’m back!
      Yes I understand the pressure to find the song but it’s something that HAS to happen, it’s as important as finding VOD (voice over dude - I thought it made him sound like a bad guy in a SiFy movie) and just as important as finding out “what did the donkey do?”
      Three important missions for T!
      God help anyone reading this reply and basically any of our conversations, we are strange…. but highly…. HIGHLY….. adorable.

      OMGOSH an award like that is like an Oscar! Thank you, thank you! I have a question….did I get this award because my comments are just that good OR you were tired of approving them? Forget I asked that, I am just going to take it as my comments are just that good because, well, they just are!?!? And no more comment jail! Although why they were there in the first place I have no idea? This also relieves you of the responsibility for checking to see if they were there which I was wondering about in the first place? I mean honestly, high comment quality here, yeah? YES! 😂
      I would like to thank B ☘️ for this award….he is very kind indeed and brilliant as well! ! I would like to thank my parents who have always been there for me. I would like to thank my future dude, whoever you are….and I would like to NOT thank the Evil Bros 😈! This moment is so special! Thank you, thank you!
      Yes, I am still awake although goodness knows how? I suspect it has a lot to do with AB the 4 year old still being awake and quite hyper? She is now crying in her bed which honestly breaks my heart. 😞
      The real question is, why are YOU still awake?
      Are you kidding me with your weather? 🪧 I am officially under protest now. It is probably raining too so you get double the protest signs. 🪧 🪧
      105 is not fun, it is indeed unBARRYable, I laughed at that and why wouldn’t anybody? AB talked me out of the house to play on the swings in the backyard. She told me I would be okay because it was in the shade from the fence? That made it 101 in the shade so it was not really okay. We were swinging along, I was not paying attention to the wind, it picked up and suddenly there was this sand storm like you wouldn’t believe. I could barely see the back door to the house and we were not that far away? So back to the shower for me and AB….I mean honestly this is crazy, and AB is a devious child. 😂
      Tell me again why you want to move to Florida? If I had a high of 68 degrees for the year plus the rain factor, I would be living the life and NOT moving? Back to the country swap idea!
      I really think I have lost my man juju? You gotta be around men for them to just up and buy you food for absolutely no reason (well I am charming so there is a reason?) And for the record I did protest that every time, I mean the evil bros 😈 taught me to never rely on a man and to make my own way in the world? So I get very uncomfortable and embarrassed in those situations. But maybe it is this city? I never say never but if I met a man from here it would be a total disaster to need to move here? I cannot even imagine that? So maybe the city is protecting me? We are going with this answer and not that I have lost my man juju? 😂
      Listen, I AM quite shocked at this Queen Christmas song disaster! What in the world B ☘️?!?! I need a moment of silence to process this………..okay that is long enough. 😂 I distinctly remember a comment I recently made to you that you might know the obvious Queen songs but not the hidden gems? Well, you just proved that! Another protest sign for you! 🪧 This is worse than me not knowing my favorite Christmas song? Because this is ignoring my favorite band and the legendary Freddie Mercury which is a gasp 😱 moment! You did have a jingle bell moment there, thank you for that, I bet it was lovely….but that isn’t my favorite Christmas song either? This is turning into a 7 month long process of elimination? ⏰ The pressure of that clock! Eeeekkkk! 😂
      This should interest you. We are not going to church tomorrow but having church here? We watch church but also participate which means singing as well. We have one decent singer, one person that is okay (me) and a 4 year old that tends to want to do an interpretive dance during the song service? 😂 I would probably be better at the interpretive dance with the 4 year old than the singing? 😂
      I have a lot going on? 3 missions when really finding the “voice over” dude is a huge task alone? And the donkey thing is still ongoing? I thought we had exhausted that topic but thinking back, that question was never answered. I think that is my fault, I got distracted by losing the bass dude (are we seeing a pattern here with me and the dudes?) 😂 That and actually thinking that the song was about a donkey (whose fault was that? 😂) Okay T is back on the 3 mission (impossibles? 😂) Where in the world are you VOD?!?!
      Yes, anybody reading these comments/conversations are either highly entertained or lost? But you are correct, they are adorable as are the people writing them? Hey if you don’t think you yourself are adorable who will? Yes, indeed!
      T ❤️
      Oh and edit, I will indeed tell her you said hello. She just took a pain pill (finally) I had to go get the thing and force her? She was laying there, moaning, and I said ENOUGH!
      Oh AND how have you not performed acapella or A capella (👈🏻B ☘️ spelling, which is most likely correct!) Anywho, how is this possible? Well, when you go to church with Annie the supermodel it will be your first A capella performance because when they hear you sing they will get more quiet. As in stop totally just to listen to you. Supermodel Annie won’t stop though she ignores the rules and sings whatever part is most interesting to her at any given moment? 😂 It will be quite the experience for you, this I know without a doubt!

      I got so caught up in that kind award and the Christmas Queen song absolute disaster I missed something very important! So I had to reply (again) just to address this….
      15 men (official number?) WORLDWIDE? For T? Are you sure you didn’t forget several zeros in that official number?!?!
      This is a panic moment! 😱 🙉
      I cannot even find VOD (👈🏻I like it good job B ☘️!)? How am I going to track down 1 of the 15 (official number) WORLDWIDE?
      Well at least that answers the question of how I didn’t see a man for 24 hours in a city of this size. Which is fine and dandy, I can’t live here anyway. Sand pit of America, rains less than where I live only 5 hours away (which in all honesty isn’t saying much?) I ain’t even looking for a man here anymore, forget that terrible idea? 😂
      Please tell me you missed some zeros there B ☘️?!?! Because 15 (official number) WORLDWIDE IS KINDA SAD (sorry shouty!) 😂
      Maybe 1 of the 15 (official number) will be VOD roommate and I can take care of 2 problems in one go? Although the likelihood of that happening, with my luck, is zero (one of your obvious missing zeros in your official number!)
      Okay, calm down T, some perspective? There should be only 1 person out there for any 1 person although this has never made any kind of sense to me? The earth is a large place so having just 1 person out there for you seems illogical? And over your entire lifetime? I mean that is a long time and too much can happen? When you find the one that is what it should be just one and you can forget the other 14 (official number), right? But Lawzy me, I do love a challenge, this we all know from a previous comment, so I guess I better get started on finding the one of the 15 (official number?) 🙉
      That moment of perspective and logic didn’t help. At ALL! 😱
      I am right back to you left off some zeros on that 15 (official number) worldwide.
      I guess this is officially Mission 4….T finding 1 of the 15 (official number) men available to her Worldwide?

    I'm really sad for you, Barry, that you have no 4-door Ado. Doesn't Ado make coupes, though? The sedans are gas-guzzlers anyway.
    Of all of their songs, this is the one that, to me, practically begs one to sing along. They practically bury the actual melodic line within all those inverted chords, right up until the moment when Mitch sings the last line of the second verse. And I, for one, would love to hear you do just that. Just imagine your lovely voice mixed in with theirs. Do consider giving us one lovely virtual collaboration with them, you singing the straight melodic line, with them behind you. For Christmas?
