Thanks for posting this never noticed it before till listened to it once again .currently in a choir and loving how things put together with everyone's voice to make a piece
Wow! What a performance bursting with fire, passion, rage, frustration and pathos! Makes me wish I’d gone for my chance at a career playing French horn as a teen!
"There's a man she has to pay, you can guess how she picks up the extra; you can bet she's earning her keep SLLLEEEEPING AROoOoOuUuUnD...and the boss wouldn't like it!"
From what I understand, the boss was pretty much sleeping with everyone but Fantine. Her "purity" and defiance pissed the women off because she was stronger than they were. (reflecting crap they hated about themselves) The found a reason to gossip about her and took it. Boss is selfish, fires her etc. . .
The upper part is singing "Like the waves crash on the sand, like a storm that'll break any second" in what I think is a major 3rd interval. They then sing "There's a hunger in the land" in double time... The lengthen it so that they stop singing that part when the lower parts finishes the "there's a reckoning still to be reckoned" and then they all sing "and there's gonna be hell to pay" together... Hope this helped!
On every part that the Sopranos an Tenors break off from the rest of the group, they're singing the same thing, but slower. So while the rest of the group says, "There's a hunger in the land, there's a reckoning still to be reckoned." The Sopranos and Tenors are singing, "There's a hunger in the land." And they join back together at "And there's going to be hell to pay!" It's the same on the one at around 2:30.
this video helps me alot for choir im singing this with my other classmates were singing (at the end of the day, i dreamed a dream, on my own, castle on a cloud, do you here the people sing, and a couple more) they are all supreno parts and alto im both :)
Tenor/ Soprano Theres a hunger in the land and theres gonna be hell to pay, at the end of the day Alto Bass Theres hunger in the land, Theres a reckoning still to be reckoned and theres gonna be hell to pay at the end of the day
It's because she gets into a fight with another worker over her letter about her daughter, also the boss doesn't like her because she refuses to sleep with him, she is also not allowed to have the child she is hiding in that job.
1st job out of college spring 1995 lasted 90 days; they lost big customer first week i was their; they were going to combine two offices into one and suddenly no longer needed the guy they just hired.
Anybody know what's being sung in counterpoint on the verses that begin with the lines There's a Hunger in the land and Keep on grafting till you drop?
Not sure if I'm answering it correctly, but they're singing the same line just slower. So while the saying "theres a hunger in the land, there's a reckoning to be reckoned" the background is a slow(er) "there's a hunnger in the land" It's the same for the second as well :) buuuut maybe I totally misunderstood your question if so sorry haha
Dude, this is a song from "Les Miserables". The name literally means "The Miserable People". The book and play are all about the plight of the poor in 18th century France. Most of those people _were_ young, the life expectancy for people at that time was 30 years old. Not only was this an era of _massive_ class inequality, but a miniature ice age occurred in the middle of the century. The weather was 5 degrees colder than average for a about a decade and there was a massive loss of crops, causing famine everywhere. People flocked to the cities because they couldn't grow food, and ended up in factories where there were _no_ safety standards or labor laws. Thousands of people died from industrial accidents, fires, and unsafe working conditions. Meanwhile, there was no proper sewage system or food safety, so if your job didn't kill you, you got dysentery, salmonella, and typhoid. If anything, the reality of that time was worse than Victor Hugo described in his book. He was a well-educated man with money, as far as the pre-revolutionary French man was concerned Victor was living in Shang-ra-la.
Sarah Coleman Right... but that has no bearing on my point. People shouldn't be singing this in primary school because, as you just said, it's very sad. If you're talking to the other guy then he is clearly inspired by the fact that people have a drive to go on in such hard times. Makes sense.
These people are really negative xD i mean i know it was a harsh time back then but like 0:45 "one less day to be living" like you guys have a lifee and all but ik these times were hard times of slavery and war but just like emjoy life xD
Its not only about that but at those times the average life span for a woman was no more than 40-50 years old MAX because back then there was no concept of hygene and a lot of diseases and epidemics were around. And especially if winter came it meant that it would get much colder and if they got sick they could die. Back then even a cold or flu could kill you. Let alone other infective diseases. So yeah. If u lived until 40 as a woman you were lucky
If you listen very closely, you will hear that the altos start first and then the sopranos and tenors come in after and hold the words longer
Thanks for posting this never noticed it before till listened to it once again .currently in a choir and loving how things put together with everyone's voice to make a piece
Yeah I'm doing this for a musical and the altos and sopranos have different parts where as you say sopranos hold words for longer and altos carry on
Sang this in choir and it was everyone's favorite.
Foreman in the film: right my girl, on your way...

I'm singing that part in our play!

JEAN VALJEAN? Selfish? Are you INSANE?
@@craftbrothers8754 No. ValJean is the Mayor. She is talking about The Foreman
There was no boss really. This is totally made up for the play and movie.
When he said the boss he meant the foreman, the overseer, not Jean Valjean
@Santino MateoDunno if anyone care but I hack National Firewall and NASA satellite using a Nintendo . Find it on Bing if you care

Shut up, Mary.
This is the only recording I can listen to. The other ones drive me crazy.

Elz J that is the understatement of the century 😃
ehks dee
They were just jealous, because the foreman was paying attention to Fantine
Yeah, "kind of"
Anyone would be
We're learning this in choir and I'm singing the soprano part :)
We've done this for my chorus too!!
It's because she gets into a fight with another worker over her letter about her daughter, also the boss doesn't like her because she refuses to sleep with him, she is also not allowed to have the child she is hiding in that job.
Describes well for the American working people in 2020
les miserables helps me to be more thankful for my life...

Anybody know what's being sung in counterpoint on the verses that begin with the lines
There's a Hunger in the land
and
Keep on grafting till you drop?
Not sure if I'm answering it correctly, but they're singing the same line just slower.
So while the saying "theres a hunger in the land, there's a reckoning to be reckoned"
the background is a slow(er) "there's a hunnger in the land"
It's the same for the second as well :) buuuut maybe I totally misunderstood your question if so sorry haha
Amir Cooper
No, you got my question right. Thanks for the answer. I love when songs are..."layered" like this.
+Rhiorrha yeah like amir cooper said it's layered but as a harmony to make it sound better basically
+Rhiorrha ";there';s a hunger in the land, there';s a reckoning STILL to be reckoned, and there's gonna be hell to pay"
+Rhiorrha "Grafting till you drop. Or it's back to the crumbs off the table, Well, You've got to pay your way"

Ugh, what it the tenor/soprano 1 part at 1:26?!?
Why are so many people singing this so young? It's massively inappropriate and sad.. When I was a child I'd sing about bloody hedgehogs!
it's really sad but it sort of inspires me in a strange way
I think somebody is missing the point of Les Miserables.
Sarah Coleman Got anything to add to that condescending comment? Other than an arrogant smirk.

How did ValJean become Mayor if he was a con
He took on a diffrent identify
@@ashlynnheller8400 yeah but still. His face i mean. Anyways
Sounds like mattyb’s song
Sorry, but I have no clue.
Oml
Girl 5 is so shit in this production. Makes me sad. Cracking video though! Thanks mucho :)
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Ghh
These people are really negative xD i mean i know it was a harsh time back then but like 0:45 "one less day to be living" like you guys have a lifee and all but ik these times were hard times of slavery and war but just like emjoy life xD
Its not only about that but at those times the average life span for a woman was no more than 40-50 years old MAX because back then there was no concept of hygene and a lot of diseases and epidemics were around.

If u lived until 40 as a woman you were lucky
The movie is SOOOO much better! The Foreman is just too angry!
