Congratulations! You’re not only the first reactor I’ve heard that even noticed the colors in the fire, but you also understood Layne’s “Easter egg” carrot. The ‘film score’ was first a classical piece by Richard Strauss (Thus Spoke Zarathustra). All of the pieces used are listed in the description. When Cesar ‘stole’ the voices, he probably could have sung it himself, or at least the higher part. But that was Rachel’s voice for the higher part and Layne’s voice for the lower part.
@@Wildecat10really? I doubt it is Layne tho? I don’t think layne can sing that low tho and even if he could it’s probably not this resonated. This sounds so much more like geoff singing and then dial up the formant (which makes it sound squeakier), so is the high part by Rachel. You can hear the characteristic of their voices still remain there. Besides, even if layne sang it an octave higher and pitch it down an octave, it probabaly still won’t sound like this. This is sooo geoff I’ve heard his C2 way too many times to be able to differentiate 😂😂
@@makchris7746 Layne confirmed in an interview that he sang the low part of Caesar’s voice swap. This is not actually nearly as much of a stretch as it may initially seems. I think it was Geoff at one point who said that Layne has the biggest range of all the guys, closing in on 6 octaves. Some of that may be due to beatbox techniques, but seeing as he is a natural baritone, again, not crazy out of the realm of possibilities.
Leave it to Layne to create chaos. He is the mastermind behind this. He is so much fun & very creative. Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play ❤
Poor Eli-Grundel. He seems to have been the one who got them out of whatever fix they wound up in at the end of _Mountain King,_ and the only one who really grasped what was about to happen at the end here and was trying to get the others to pay attention. Alas, to no avail. I wonder where they'll turn up next. 😆
This is just incredible. When I watched VoicePlay's debut with this yesterday, I couldn't believe that was Rachel and had to check the credits! It's her. Since you are fond of the beatboxing, go to Klown Music Reacts and watch this with his reaction as a first rate competitive beatboxer. He can hardly contain himself especially when Layne is doing some complex stuff and he's trying to duplicate it.
Playing the hall of the mountain king then this is great not just for character continuity, but also realizing the different swagg they put on that section of this one.
I thought that effect in Rachel's voice as they were coming into the finale was an addition of Eli's voice to hers. I've been watching this on Patreon for weeks, but it was yesterday that I realized that Cesar was dancing the Can Can!
Oh wow! I was paying attention to the fire and the smoke and how it changes color depending on who has the book, but I didn't notice the carrot effect! Good eye! 💙
I absolutely love your Voiceplay reactions. I was so excited to see that you were reacting to this one and you didn't disappoint. Your reactions are a perfect combo of enjoyment and education. And your laugh is super contagious. Great reaction as always. ✌️❤️🧌
So what’s funny is it actually says, do not loose. At 3:25 you can see a loose page floating around. Not many people have paid much attention to the last page so thanks for stopping and reading it. Thanks for the great analysis. I definitely have learned some new things.
So glad to see you here since you loved Hall of the Mountain King so much. I LOVE this one. Absolutely crazy and so much fun. Another arrangement by Layne...
Really enlightening analysis, Daniel. You helped me appreciate many nuances that are just lost on a non-musical listener like myself. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Rachael took the last page out when she took the book back during the Can Can, blink and you miss it at 3.25. That is why the warning uses the "loose" spelling. Enjoyed your reaction.
So happy you reacted to/analysed this VoicePlay video. Such a joy to watch you react. Fun to listen as you analyse the performance...so nurturing. Thank you.
Love your reaction. Just a comment on Cesar's range. He can produce whistle tones, and he shows them off in Voiceplay's The Lion Sleeps Tonight. So, even though he was singing with voices stolen from Rachel and Layne here, he can sing in the stratosphere. That is one of their more whimsical songs too.
Love these guys! Thank you for so much information on what they did! You might find their Loop 1 and Loop 2 interesting - on how they create a song. They are short - you could do them together.. Would love to see what you think...
They are the ideal a cappella group for me, as I love all genres of music equally. I can listen to rock, country, pop, rap, Disney, and classical music just by playing their songs in order.
Except jazz! I really wish they'd dip their toes into jazz- like solo improvisation segments mixed in with the highly structured segments of their arrangements. I'm sure they all -- including Rachel -- have the talent and skill required, in spades!
Early! This is not only such a good reaction but VoicePlay ALWAYS does such a great job at every song they cover and I only got into them around a month ago. TYSM for this reaction!
You probably were kidding, but the "Movie score" was of course "Also Sprach Zarthustra" (or Thus spake Zoroaster) which is a 33 minute long tone poem composed by Richard Strauss in 1896, and is, by most standards, considered a classical composition, despite the fact that HAL 9000 probably didn't care for it, since HAL was AIWA (A I with attitude)
I love your reactions. One suggestion though. When you stop the video to give a reaction when you started up again can you go back so we can hear that part that you just reacted to? I will have completely forgotten it and I want to be able to pick out what it is that you're hearing. If you want to hear a beautiful amalgamation of classical music and beatboxing please react to Kevin's fifth. Kevin is the beatboxer for pentatonix. He also is a world-class cello player having performed at Carnegie Hall. He beat boxes while playing the cello which he calls cello boxing. I think that you would really really appreciate the talent and skill that he puts into his cello boxing
Beethoven is metal. Watch Tina S doing Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. Classical music can translate very well. On an even more classical note have you ever listened to Amira Willighagen. She is a classical/classical crossover singer born in Netherlands currently living in South Africa. She won Holland's Got Talent in 2013 at the age of 9 as a self taught opera singer. She, since, has had some training and is currently in college working on a degree in music. She has many performances on RUclips.
I believe you had referenced Rachel as being the featured singer on In The Hall of the Mountain King, where it actually was Elizabeth Garozzo. Both were phenomenal, of course! I really enjoy your unbridled enthusiasm as you watch the video of the day. Looking forward to more of your Voiceplay reactions.
That portion of the (2001: A Space Odyssey) film score, is copied note-for-note from an earlier piece of music. Admittedly, it wasn't particularly well known until it was used in the movie, unlike the rest of the pieces used here, which were all already famous in their own right well before that.
Sorry you feel that way. Despite none of the pieces being Halloween related, the set being inside Pattycake's studio for other productions going on there was the reason for the timing. (Not to mention that when they did Hall of the Mountain King, it wasn't a Halloween release either.)
And, here, we have a glimpse inside Layne's brain....and his beatboxing carries the entire creation.
This one's such a fun rewatch @
The Charismatic Voice (Elizabeth Zharoff) did a video with Layne about how the musical score was done. It's amazing.
Congratulations! You’re not only the first reactor I’ve heard that even noticed the colors in the fire, but you also understood Layne’s “Easter egg” carrot.

The lower part was Layne, not Geoff?
@@therealEmpyre Correct!

Which interview?@@rachelschroeter9571
The Charismatic Voice (Elizabeth Zharoff) just put out a 30 minute talk with Layne on this and how the musical score was created. Quite interesting.
Leave it to Layne to create chaos. He is the mastermind behind this. He is so much fun & very creative. Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play ❤

Klown is all over the place, but so excited by Voiceplay, especially Layne.

Not many have noticed the spelling or that Rachel actually says Done at the end.
I was dying to see your reaction to this one and it was even better than I imagined ❤You're a great Reactor! Voiceplay is just phenomenal ❤😊
Well the score from Odyssee 2001 is based on Richard Strauss's "Thus Spake Zarathustra" from 1896 .... so its, ... classic ;)
So glad to see you here since you loved Hall of the Mountain King so much. I LOVE this one. Absolutely crazy and so much fun. Another arrangement by Layne...
You weren’t hearing Cesar’s range. That was actually Layne on the low and Rachel on the high since he stole voices. 😅
Thank you for a great reaction to this newest evidence of VoicePlay's genius!
I love reactors, like yourself, that have an academic understanding of music theory and can apply that knowledge to their reactions. Thanks.
Really enlightening analysis, Daniel. You helped me appreciate many nuances that are just lost on a non-musical listener like myself. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Glad you are feeling better. This performance is so much fun. Have a great weekend.
Thank you! It was a bit rough Thursday but I pulled through. I agree and likewise =)
I saw a ‘Carmen’ production on PBS. It starred Elina Garanca fabulous. It was my 1st opera from the beginning to the end.💋 😎🤙🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Rachael took the last page out when she took the book back during the Can Can, blink and you miss it at 3.25. That is why the warning uses the "loose" spelling. Enjoyed your reaction.
Cesar is literally stealing their voices, it's their voices (though heard "Geoff's voice is Layne), not Cesar doing them. Great analysis as always !
I love classical music. Love the way they put their own spin on it 😯👏👏👏👏
So happy you reacted to/analysed this VoicePlay video. Such a joy to watch you react. Fun to listen as you analyse the performance...so nurturing. Thank you.
I thoroughly appreciated watching how much you enjoyed this!
Well I just learned about Carmen… that deserves a follow

It truly was magical and funny and very well done

Thank you! Greetings from Germany
This is so much fun!! Always enjoy your reactions and analysis of VoicePlay's videos!!
I love that word “concatenate” excellent use of it!
You’ll always see, on any VP medley, perfect transitions. They are flawless!
Lets goooooooo! ❤🎉
loved how much you enjoyed it ❤

I am really hoping we get another treat like this near Halloween.
Early! This is not only such a good reaction but VoicePlay ALWAYS does such a great job at every song they cover and I only got into them around a month ago. TYSM for this reaction!
You bring a lot of depth to the videos, incredible

Loved watching you react to this one!!!
I love that Cesar gets in an "ay ay ay" amid the "dah dat dah dahs" of the Carmen aria (around 12:45).
Btw - the last page says "Do Not Loose", not "Do Not Lose" 😉🙃
Fun video and reaction. Thanks
Glad they choose my favorite classical songs and thsi was darker than before
I love your reactions. One suggestion though. When you stop the video to give a reaction when you started up again can you go back so we can hear that part that you just reacted to?

Rachel triumphant!
awesome reaction, you should definitely check out the eurovision 2024 winner grand final (nemo -the code).

Also Sprach Zarthustra is by Richard Strauss not from a film score.
I believe you had referenced Rachel as being the featured singer on In The Hall of the Mountain King, where it actually was Elizabeth Garozzo. Both were phenomenal, of course! I really enjoy your unbridled enthusiasm as you watch the video of the day. Looking forward to more of your Voiceplay reactions.
Nope, he said she was not in The Hall and it was great to see her in this-looked great ans was mentioning because she was new to this.
Or it could be a mash of all your guesses... lol.
That portion of the (2001: A Space Odyssey) film score, is copied note-for-note from an earlier piece of music. Admittedly, it wasn't particularly well known until it was used in the movie, unlike the rest of the pieces used here, which were all already famous in their own right well before that.
Ok, I have to ask again. When Layne passes the book to Rachel, do you hear him say, "for my mama?"
#VOICEPLAY
❤️
Not even close to my favorite, more of a medium MEH. I can't shake the feeling that I might have enjoyed it more had it come closer to Halloween.
Sorry you feel that way. Despite none of the pieces being Halloween related, the set being inside Pattycake's studio for other productions going on there was the reason for the timing. (Not to mention that when they did Hall of the Mountain King, it wasn't a Halloween release either.)
