See if you can identify all of these songs with me: - A Night on Bald Mountain - Mussorgsky - Dance of the Hours - Ponchielli - Eine kleine Nachtmusik - Mozart - Für Elise - Beethoven - Habanera from ''Carmen Suite No.2'' - Georges Bizet - Orphée aux enfers, Frensh Can Can ACT 5 - Offenbach - Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" - Grieg - Romeo and Juliet (Fantasy Overture) - Tchaikovsky - Symphony No 5 in C Minor - Ludwig Van Beethoven - The Blue Danube Waltz - Johann Strauss II - Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Richard Strauss - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - J. S. Bach (And Have FUN!)
That's correct ! Maybe just a little something about Offenbach and "Orphée aux Enfers" : the title of this part is called "Galop Infernal" and has been used in our "french (with a c) cancan" :) As always, awesome reaction !
How can we get the award people to recognize the incredible work that VoicePlay does within the a capella frame? They deserve so much for their creativity because there is no one else like them.
I've wondered since I heard that the Grammies changed the name of the category from "Best Arrangement, Instrumental" to "Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella" for Pentatonix and the Daft Punk medley, why don't they have all of the "normal" categories for a cappella songs/groups? They have categories for genres I've never even heard of, much less heard examples of, but there's virtually nothing for a cappella!
The Grammies - grammaphone - recording industry. Voiceplay works outside the recording industry and doesn't make them money. The industry doesn't want to reward and promote groups that do without them. Voiceplay does what they do in part because they are independent. Record companies would never bet on the stuff that voiceplay does.
@@TheCharismaticVoice I watched the Voiceplay video of this yesterday and was hoping that you would do an analysis for us and .... yay!!!! Thank you so much.
"when Layne mentioned to me they were doing this" I've been watching this channel for years, I remember Elizabeth's first Voicplay reaction. Now she just casually throws in that she's friends with the group. 😂😂😂
Since VoicePlay collaborated with Liz Garrozzo and Rachel Potter for their first two classical mash-ups, could we get them to invite our Elizabeth to join them for what I assume will be a piece to complete a Grundels a capella trilogy?
I love it when Elizabeth geeks out on vocals. When it's a cappella, it just goes to a whole different level. So much joy. And then there's Voiceplay. Double joy.
Two references to carrots in here. First is the change of color to Layne’s horns ( orange in Mountain King/green here), and when Layne had the ‘solo’ lead the smoke of the fire was orange and green. Great reaction with lots of tidbits and new (to me) information about singing techniques. Thank you, Elizabeth.
This is an encredibly entertaining medley of some of my favorite classical pieces. Thanks to whoever suggested for Elizabeth to analyze this performance. 10 out of 10 for sure!!!!!
Elizabeth, I love how you expand my knowledge and appreciation of music. For example -- THERE ARE NO DRUM KITS IN CLASSICAL MUSIC! And here's Layne, vocal percussionist, thinking to himself, "How can I pose myself this impossible problem? Right, I'll do a piece where I bring in ALL THE CLASSICS." And killed it. Loved the piece and your wonderful analysis of it. Thanks for sharing your intelligent appraisals. Cheers
This is peak VoicePlay. Layne's brain must be filled with songs that cycle rapid fire. And Geoff's expression at Layne's antics is priceless. But Rachel is the essential core in the entire piece.
Rachel is just an awesome collaborator, and I think they're lucky to have her with them. And of course, Layne's genius. Though, I was missing the carrot in this video.
The carrot was in the fire! It changes colors depending on who's got the book. It's orange for Layne and at one point the top goes green. Also, Cesar was stealing Geoff and Rachel's voices, hence Geoff looking confused and Rachel giving him the side eye. 😂
I love Cesar's attitude. He's like a cat on catnip. From the finger to the lips, then the Can Can dance, at the end, he takes the cake. While everyone else was 'freaking out' Cesar's character was there going YES YES!!! ROFLMAO! Yep, one of the best. I'm glad they brought back the Hall of the Mountain King theme. Was perfect!
But they did. I sang backing vocals on a track last year. The issue is that I'm not close to Orlando, and leaving my little one to fly in for a music video is really tough. Mutual respect, but just not in the cards currently.
I am so happy you reacted to this. I feel like the spell book was Rachel’s and she decided to teach “the boys” a lesson for messing with her spell book. 😆
I think just the term "chaotic" does not do it justice. It is amazingly structured and uniform, organized chaos? Amazing job by them. Iove the modern and musically creative approach on a variety of "classical"-like pieces
I saw this whole video with them and thought you would have a blast with it. It's fabulous fun. I look forward to seeing your reaction after work tomorrow. It's soooooooo much fun.
Thank you Elizabeth for the VoicePlay! They really do bring the classics into the modern environment well! I love the way you continue to bring so many more styles into the modern perception with your reactions!
I really must agree with your total delight in this performance. You expressed the wonder and amazement that I felt. I just don't know all the technicalities that you express so well. Thank you, Elizabeth.
I love how they use the book as a prop and use it to begin each piece depending on who has it in their hands. Rachel uses her voice to get the book back resulting in each of them getting into trouble.
BTW, the carrot was in the fire! When Layne had the book, the fire turned orange with a green top and got thin and tall. Also Layne is orange with green horns. Carrot man!
I love the little Easter egg of the carrot .. if you go back to Layne’s part and see the flames are orange he adds a little green and if you watch slowly they mix to look like a carrot 😂 , it was such a cute little Easter egg , I had to watch it more then once to notice it 😂
lol. Bingo Charismatic Voice. VoicePlay IS Hall of the Mountain King on crack!!! Absolutely loved it and your comments on it. Thank you. It was wonderful!!
I can't wait for the day where fans of this channel get to see you be a participant in a Voice Play song (maybe one of these with the ghoulies)! I love your reactions, and expertise, but i really want to see you just going and having fun with this group!!
Elizabeth, I was thrilled to see your reaction so soon after the drop! I learn so much from you, but your enthusiasm is the best part! I've already watched your interview with the frenetic Layne. Everything that Voiceplay does is brilliant, wish you had time to react to everything they do.
Watching her reaction to this was almost more satisfying than watching the video by itself. I'm a rock guy so I absolutely love when she checks out stuff I like but watching her react to her favorite genres is way more satisfying.
Subtext is key to understanding the classics, thank you! That's what I always try to explain to new listeners or when trying to expose my friends to my nerdy world of classical and classical crossover. I've also been attempting genre cross training as I've aged and it is challenging! I needed this geek out, thanks so much Elizabeth!
There was a warning about the first “spell” at the start, and then the final warning to not “loose” the spell on the last page … which of course she did. :)
As Elizabeth was talking about taking organ lessons because she wanted to make the room shake I suddenly understood why she has come to love rock & metal so much. Same goals! For another great crossover tou should check out "Hall of the Mountain King" by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - yes, the Greig, but with the Ritchie guitar magic and lyrics.
Love your reactions. Voice play is so good at what they do. I hope this means you back to doing some Acapella groups would love to see you do more Home Free it’s been too long and even there solo work would be awesome.❤
I loved that the transition from “Romeo and Juliet“ by Tchaikovsky to “A Night on Bald Mountain“ by Mussorgsky was the sound of a needle scratching across a record.
This reminds me of albums I had as a teen, and happy to discover on YT -- Hooked on Classics. Did you notice that the fire and smoke changed color to match which character was "casting"? Blue for Geoff, green for Eli, etc. Layne added an extra bit of magic for himself as the Carrot Lord, putting a touch of green above his orange smoke. So cool!
AaaaAAAA yes yes yes!!! I've been watching the Voiceplay video obsessively the last few days since it posted, and I've been so eagerly awaiting this video!! I just knew it was going to be a deep dive into Rachel Potter's vocals; she does some absolutely amazing things here! As for what you're referring to as a "digitized run," from a production standpoint, what I'm hearing is an entirely natural run with a progressive heavy spatial element being phased in overtop of it. All the original notes are absolutely there and audible underneath, just with a lot more breadth stacking onto it that's generating a harmonic! No idea if I'm even close to correct, just what I'm hearing. Absolutely beautiful production work no matter what!
You know, it didn't occur to me until just now (I've been watching this reaction in short increments to make it last longer, SO glad you're doing VP again), but this video by our guys and Rachel has a VERY "Fantasia" feel to it. Maybe even a dash of Looney Toons as well, especially with the Wilhelm Scream. Edit: Annnnnnd I typed that way before you mentioned there was a song from "Fantasia" in it. Well, I feel a bit silly now.😊 What I find interesting is that you and the channel "Good Evening Stories" are in sync with a lot in your reactions. It'd be cool to see you guys collab on a Voiceplay video. Since he has sung both opera and done beatboxing, I think you'd have a lot of fun. Maybe "Sleeping In The Cold Below?'" 💙
If you noticed, the color of the smoke coincided with who had the book and was 'casting'. At one point, Eli was going nuts casting fireworks and Rachel reclaimed the book. When QoFyReacts thought he noticed a shift from major to minor, it coincided to when Rachel started 'uncasting' Eli's spell and his green smoke was collapsing back into the fire. Thank you for another awesome reaction & analysis...was waiting for this one!!
Ruh Roh! E has her Tiefling horns on...Epic-ness must follow! 🤔😈😈 Mwah-hahahaha! Outstanding selection of tunes ... in a Medley?! Sure, it's Voiceplay, why not? My day was a 5.8 on the Monday scale...this soothed things right out! #ClassicalJams #TieflingsForTheWin!
I was so happy, when I found the original video for this enyojable chaos, and waited for and felt exited for your analisis on it. :) The hall of the mountain king was their first song I lisstened from VoicePlay and still is a favourite of mine, even with all the capability of my "sticks-for-ears"... XD
I love Voiceplay and Rachel Potter but I watch and listen while smiling and bobbing my head. Then Elizabeth gives us the narration that explains how intricate and complicated it was to blend the pieces together. Well done…enjoyed every giggle.
Making the room shake when playing an organ is an awesome feeling. I got a chance to play the organ at the Sydney Town Hall back around '80 (J. S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in B Minor, of course) - it's one of only 2 organs ever made with a true 64' pipe (contra-trombone, I believe), and it manages to shake a 200-year-old solid stone building very effectively. And yes, I giggled for about 5 minutes after trying it out while warming up.
I'm pretty sure that when Cesar "steals" the voices, the deep voice is Layne, and the higher part is Rachel. This is shaping up to be quite the epic trilogy. Maybe they can include Ashley Diane in part 3? Heck, do an "episode" with each of their usual guests. I'm ready for the Voiceplay Grundle Cinematic Universe (VPGCU). 😂
Thank you! I'm so glad you reacted to this newest amazing VP production! While there are lots of people reacting to VP's covers now, very few are actually giving knowledgeable assessments, so what's the point? Can they truly appreciate the genius of VP?! Doubtful.
Loved the whole video but 14:40 about wanting the play an organ to make the room shack and then Elizabeth geeking out going "thunder" made me laugh hard.
Having Rachel in her "almost operatic" voice plus the fun dub step beats brings me back to one of their oldest videos with Rachel (plus Tony and Earl!), Phantom of the Opera.
Thank you for another wonderful and educational analysis. I have learned even more about this piece. I love Rachel's interactions with everybody. Now I need to watch your interview with Layne on this one.
What you were saying about understanding and bringing the subtext of a song. How I've explained that to people before is the big difference betweeen singing/playing a song and performing the song. ❤
I wanna point out just how amazing the colours are between Elizabeths hair and the purples in the background in this vid? It's such a happy, vibrant scheme, and it fits in perfectly with just how colourful the voiceplay video is. Eye and ear candy, everything is just so perfect, omnomnom! :)
27:35 I hear mocha latte too. Love how at the end all the others are panicking over the missing last page. Meanwhile, Geoff is just grooving. Then when she pulls it out, "I knew she had it."
And Elizabeth is correct that it also does make a brief appearance in Fantasmic!, the stage show in the Disney parks, as the villains all work together to trap Mickey in the magic mirror.
Did anyone else notice that "The Last Page" didn't say "Do not lose", it said "Do not loose" - as in "do not set free the being entrapped in the last page"! Who was summoned - set free - by the spell's beginning .. and *remained* at the end?
I've loved your channel for ages and even listening to songs I've listened to for years - you always manage to bring a fresh perspective that makes me think about them differently and enjoy them more. Please please PLEASE do a video on Elliott Smith. Between The Bars or Sweet Adeline. I would absolutely freak out to hear your take on him. i really hope you get to see this comment and thank you as always for your videos. Much love!

@@TheCharismaticVoice not a chance, but I do know some of these composers 😏
After playing them all, I recognized them all, but only about one third by name alone.
I feel like Elizabeth should join VoicePlay for one song (or multiples) :D
@@Snowave50she did the background ghosts in Voiceplay’s rendition of Hide and Seek(the one themed around the Haunted Mansion.)
How can we get the award people to recognize the incredible work that VoicePlay does within the a capella frame? They deserve so much for their creativity because there is no one else like them.
I'm not sure, but there should be a grammy category for it!
I've wondered since I heard that the Grammies changed the name of the category from "Best Arrangement, Instrumental" to "Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella" for Pentatonix and the Daft Punk medley, why don't they have all of the "normal" categories for a cappella songs/groups?

@@philipmallonee5076 That is such a travesty. There I thought they were really out to credit true talent. Thanks for opening my eyes.
Elizabeth isn't playing around, this just came out a few days ago, glad to be getting back to voiceplay
Hah! I luckily knew about it quite a while ago. I have a cool interview with Layne coming out soon afterwards!
@@TheCharismaticVoice can't wait to see it
Yes!💙
@@TheCharismaticVoice That should be quite interesting.
@@TheCharismaticVoice I watched the Voiceplay video of this yesterday and was hoping that you would do an analysis for us and .... yay!!!! Thank you so much.

They acted out a whole story to the music. It had this newly 70 year old dancing in my chair. Who needs the gym for cardio when you have VoicePlay 😂😂
Happy birthday! Mine's in a few weeks! You've got about 20 years of wisdom on me though!💙
Since VoicePlay collaborated with Liz Garrozzo and Rachel Potter for their first two classical mash-ups, could we get them to invite our Elizabeth to join them for what I assume will be a piece to complete a Grundels a capella trilogy?
She could cosplay as her D&D character Vox. A tiefling bard would make the perfect complement to these demons. This must happen!
YES
I screenshotted your comment and tagged Voiceplay in an IG post because YES I agree
Hear hear
Fantastic idea! Now we gotta hear you sing darlin.
I love it when Elizabeth geeks out on vocals. When it's a cappella, it just goes to a whole different level. So much joy. And then there's Voiceplay. Double joy.
Cesar doesn't bring subtext...he brings SASSTEXT! 💙
He is an absolute diva. 😁
@TrishaFreitag In the _VERY_ best way possible!🙃🙃🙃💚♥

Great reaction with lots of tidbits and new (to me) information about singing techniques. Thank you, Elizabeth.
omg, so subtle. Layne, you GENIUS!
The VoicePlay Discord server was really hyped for this reaction! Glad you liked it, and it was great as always to hear your breakdowns!
Yay! That's awesome to hear. You can be the first to tell them an interview with Layne is coming as well. ;-)
Elizabeth and Peter are definitely the best people to react to this... Can't wait!
Check out classical musician Sir Hairless analysis as well. Should be coming out in a couple of days.
Another good opera singer/beat boxer (yes, he does both!) analysis site is Good Evening Stories. His analysis is up already. Check it out.
And Morbius!
@@LisaRedwine Do you mean Mortius?
@@didgemonkey LOL! Yes, that's who I meant.
If I know Layne there must be a part 3 coming. He is the master of madness.

@@thisismetoday7423so agree - love him!
Wish they would invite Elizabeth to do one of their songs with them. Now that would be awesome!
But they did. I sang backing vocals on a track last year. The issue is that I'm not close to Orlando, and leaving my little one to fly in for a music video is really tough. Mutual respect, but just not in the cards currently.
VoicePlay definitely makes me fall in love with music every day! ✨🔥📖🔥✨
Acapella with no lyrics is a concept that just kinda melts my brain, but I love the result! ❤
I am so happy you reacted to this. I feel like the spell book was Rachel’s and she decided to teach “the boys” a lesson for messing with her spell book. 😆
Ever mess with a witch's spell book. 😂

I saw this whole video with them and thought you would have a blast with it. It's fabulous fun. I look forward to seeing your reaction after work tomorrow. It's soooooooo much fun.
I've been waiting to hear your reaction to this from the minute I saw it! VoicePlay just keeps taking it up a notch and up a notch, so brilliant
Thank you Elizabeth for the VoicePlay! They really do bring the classics into the modern environment well! I love the way you continue to bring so many more styles into the modern perception with your reactions!
Your reaction was just as amazing as the performance 💐
I was waiting for your reaction to this and you didn't disappoint 😊
19:31 - Previously when Cesar hits that really low note, he'd stolen Geoff's voice, then he reaches over and snatched Rachel's for the high note haha
I love that part. And his sass!
Such a fun reaction! But let's face it, it's always fun when Elizabeth covers Voiceplay. Love the horns! ✌️❤️🧌
I really must agree with your total delight in this performance. You expressed the wonder and amazement that I felt. I just don't know all the technicalities that you express so well.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
Looking forward to your interview with Layne - what this man has going on in his head is insane 😉. 🌹🕊
This gives me the vibes of the Sorcerer's Apprentice, with the Sorceress still there.
Thanks for your reaction 😊
I truly ADORE what this group has been doing with the classical stuff... Makes me think of the old song Classical Gas... and Bug Bunny!
Again, a wonderful, emotional and admiring reaction, thanks👍
I was wondering how long it'd take you to react to this one, Elizabeth. I'm not disappointed at all! Can't wait for your giddy giggles!
I love how they use the book as a prop and use it to begin each piece depending on who has it in their hands. Rachel uses her voice to get the book back resulting in each of them getting into trouble.

Watching her reaction to this was almost more satisfying than watching the video by itself. I'm a rock guy so I absolutely love when she checks out stuff I like but watching her react to her favorite genres is way more satisfying.
I don't know much about Rachel Potter but I think I'm in love. I normally don't like voices as high as hers but she is buttery smooth
i love how giddy and excited she gets 😍
Amazing vocals. It reminded me of a disco version of this from the 70s called Hooked on Classics.
I didn't buy a lot of 45s, but I bought that one and darned near wore the grooves off! 🙂
I had Hooked On Classics volumes 1, 2, and 3 as a teen. Still play the albums on YT. There are many more editions now.
'Hooked on Swing' was another that I listened to a lot.
Subtext is key to understanding the classics, thank you! That's what I always try to explain to new listeners or when trying to expose my friends to my nerdy world of classical and classical crossover. I've also been attempting genre cross training as I've aged and it is challenging! I needed this geek out, thanks so much Elizabeth!
The summoning was for her, she was the last one summoned and she was the one who remained locking them all back in their original place.
There was a warning about the first “spell” at the start, and then the final warning to not “loose” the spell on the last page … which of course she did. :)
As Elizabeth was talking about taking organ lessons because she wanted to make the room shake I suddenly understood why she has come to love rock & metal so much. Same goals!
For another great crossover tou should check out "Hall of the Mountain King" by Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - yes, the Greig, but with the Ritchie guitar magic and lyrics.
A great fun way to introduce some classics to people who may never listen to them.
Myu only problem is now I want them to do full sections of these... Geoff and Night on Bald Mountain anyone?
You joke about helium, but I still wanna see a video wherein Geoff just goofs around with a canister of sulfur hexafluoride for a few minutes.
The world would not survive. Nay, the universe may tremble until no atoms are left.
Y'know...Voiceplay does take fan input every now and then. Your idea could end up in one of their RUclips Shorts
Hope they reinforce the foundations 😆
I love watching you nerd out over music, sounds, etc.
I love how sassy cesar is even when hes a little silly forest gremlin 🤣💅💜
I keep thinking Professor Peter Schikele would be proud! Layne must have overdosed on PDQ Bach's Umbegun Symphony as a child!
Love your reactions. Voice play is so good at what they do. I hope this means you back to doing some Acapella groups would love to see you do more Home Free it’s been too long and even there solo work would be awesome.❤

I love Voiceplay and Rachel Potter but I watch and listen while smiling and bobbing my head. Then Elizabeth gives us the narration that explains how intricate and complicated it was to blend the pieces together. Well done…enjoyed every giggle.
I think Ashley Diane does a similar descending run in "We Don't Talk About Bruno." Crazy vocal agility on both of these two women.
I saw this last night and LOVED it! And A Night on Bald Mountain is used in both Fantasia and Fantasmic!
Been waiting for this… 😆😆
This will be good!
I'm so excited for this!!!!!!!
Making the room shake when playing an organ is an awesome feeling. I got a chance to play the organ at the Sydney Town Hall back around '80 (J. S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in B Minor, of course) - it's one of only 2 organs ever made with a true 64' pipe (contra-trombone, I believe), and it manages to shake a 200-year-old solid stone building very effectively. And yes, I giggled for about 5 minutes after trying it out while warming up.
I'm pretty sure that when Cesar "steals" the voices, the deep voice is Layne, and the higher part is Rachel.
This is shaping up to be quite the epic trilogy. Maybe they can include Ashley Diane in part 3? Heck, do an "episode" with each of their usual guests. I'm ready for the Voiceplay Grundle Cinematic Universe (VPGCU). 😂
Thank you! I'm so glad you reacted to this newest amazing VP production! While there are lots of people reacting to VP's covers now, very few are actually giving knowledgeable assessments, so what's the point? Can they truly appreciate the genius of VP?! Doubtful.
Have you seen Sir Hairless? He’s one of my favorites for actual knowledge in his analysis.
Loved the whole video but 14:40 about wanting the play an organ to make the room shack and then Elizabeth geeking out going "thunder" made me laugh hard.
Having Rachel in her "almost operatic" voice plus the fun dub step beats brings me back to one of their oldest videos with Rachel (plus Tony and Earl!), Phantom of the Opera.
I first saw Rachel in her audition on X-Factor US singing a queen song in a country style. Been a fan of her since.
Thank you for talking about Lane's brilliance!
When the start Geoff bass starts, I always think of the THX logo in theaters...🤣🤣
I looove your enthusiasm 😍
Still looking forward to the Charismatic Voice Play musical feature!!!
Thank you for another wonderful and educational analysis. I have learned even more about this piece. I love Rachel's interactions with everybody. Now I need to watch your interview with Layne on this one.
What you were saying about understanding and bringing the subtext of a song. How I've explained that to people before is the big difference betweeen singing/playing a song and performing the song. ❤
I wanna point out just how amazing the colours are between Elizabeths hair and the purples in the background in this vid? It's such a happy, vibrant scheme, and it fits in perfectly with just how colourful the voiceplay video is. Eye and ear candy, everything is just so perfect, omnomnom! :)
THX for presenting this to us and do the breakdown.
27:35 I hear mocha latte too.
Love how at the end all the others are panicking over the missing last page. Meanwhile, Geoff is just grooving. Then when she pulls it out, "I knew she had it."
WHAT SHE PLAYS D&D WE HAVE A NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!
Haha, I don't want it.
Not the hero we want, the hero we need! (I _really_ don't blame you!)
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
I love this video and song. It reminds me of "Hooked on Classics from the 80s!!"
A Night On Bald Mountain is also in Fantasia. It used in contrast to Ave Maria when Chernabog awakens....
And Elizabeth is correct that it also does make a brief appearance in Fantasmic!, the stage show in the Disney parks, as the villains all work together to trap Mickey in the magic mirror.
I’d love to see you sing in a Voice Play video. Imagine the fun you would have.
Did anyone else notice that "The Last Page" didn't say "Do not lose", it said "Do not loose" - as in "do not set free the being entrapped in the last page"! Who was summoned - set free - by the spell's beginning .. and *remained* at the end?
As usual your feelings and energy top all others I love watching you reacting your a beautiful person I'm a fan always have been thank you
I wonder when someone asks them "so what did you do today?" How do they explain it?
I've loved your channel for ages and even listening to songs I've listened to for years - you always manage to bring a fresh perspective that makes me think about them differently and enjoy them more.
Please please PLEASE do a video on Elliott Smith. Between The Bars or Sweet Adeline. I would absolutely freak out to hear your take on him. i really hope you get to see this comment and thank you as always for your videos. Much love!
Nice Wilhelm scream at 17:04 🙂
