    Richard and Vision ARE the standard. THE standard! This arrangement of the Spiritual 'Calvary' is a testament to God's love and our ancestors ability to put it to words and melody. The four part Chorale is one the most intricate, and beautiful voice leading examples that I have seen written on paper. Very Bach-esque. Richard's Howard University (School of Music at the time) training comes through quite clearly. It also sets Vision apart. Going from full out Hawkins to the 1971 Howard University Concert Choir under Warner Lawson and Evelyn White, tonally, is very hard to do. THIS is why you go to school for music. You don't have to stay in the classical realm but USE the training to set yourself apart.

Not only are you breaking down the musicality and various vocal techniques that are used in the songs that you review, but you are ultimately sharing the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ…through the vehicle of music, which was created by God Himself!! I commend you for this! Please keep up the excellent work! I pray that many more lives would continue to be reached by God’s love through watching your content!🙏🏾🙏🏾

    If I’m not mistaken, I think that’s Richard Smallwood on the wall behind Jaron, to the left of the RUclips award. It looks like the cover of “live in Atlanta “?

    I would LOVE to see you someday analyze Nothing Without Your Love by Richard Smallwood. Lorree K. Slye's vocals are insane. I understand it may not get as many views are more popular videos though. But she is an insane technical jazz vocalist and her showcase on that song is unmatched.

    • @mikeanderson7962
      @mikeanderson7962 Год назад +2

      I shared "Nothing Without Your Love" with some high level orchestra composers in Nashville the other day, and their jaws hit the floor in amazement. They immediately wanted to hear more from Smallwood, so I played "The Procession of the Levites" and they couldn't take it. It hit them so hard they had to walk out of the room to breathe. When they came back they wanted to listen closer to the the orchestration and chordal structure of "The Procession of the Levites". They said they have never heard chord voicings like the brass was playing in "The Procession of the Levites". They instantly became Smallwood fans, and influenced by his music. To God be the glory!

  • @mikeanderson7962
    @mikeanderson7962 Год назад

    I've been BLESSED by Richard Smallwood's ministry for decades. The anointing on his music is deep and powerful. "Calvary" is an example of this power. Calvary, or "Golgotha" which means “Place of the SKULL” (Matt. 27:33) is where Jesus crushed the head (SKULL) of the serpent, just like God said Jesus would in Genesis 3:15. Jesus' suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension was our victory over death. That's why i LOVE when Richard Smallwood follows up "Calvary" with a SHOUT by saying, "But the story doesn't end there, because on the third day, HE GOT UP"!!!!! Then Charisse Nelson McIntosh asks the most important question, so we don't forget who was the One who paid the price for us..."What's His Name? "JESUS". Thank you Sister Legrair for this amazing education on the vocal techniques of Vision. There is a lot to unpack and explain in this masterpiece. May God bless you and your ministry for His Glory!!!

This was when Maurette Clark first began with Richard Smallwood & Vision. Thank you for all that you do here on your page.
