    The sound engineering in this piece is incredible. I've never heard a more beautifully mixed piece that captures the distinctness of each voice in the harmony plus the unique qualities of every single instrument. The sound engineers deserve every audio engineering award there is for this beautiful accomplishment

      This is an awesome performance from some very talented women, but 4-part harmony is pretty routine. Choirs full of ordinary people do it all the time, and it's pretty common to split beyond that, even. It can get a bit tricky when there is a lot of dissonance or exotic harmonic language, but still quite doable.

    • @crystalp7242
      @crystalp7242 4 года назад +18

      Sarah Freligh It’s a five-string violin, which has a C string added. The pitches of the five strings are typically (with C4 being Middle C): C3, G3, D4, A4 and E5. It basically combines the range of both a violin (G, D, A, and E) and a viola (C, G, D, A) and allows the player to cover a wider range of notes than on either a traditional violin (which the five-string violin is structurally similar to) or a traditional viola (which is a little bit larger than a traditional violin). The strings on all three instruments are tuned to perfect fifths from each other.

    Between this, and the Dixie Chicks version of "Landslide" (the best version IMO), an all Country/Women-led album of Fleetwood Mac covers would be transcendent

    Brandi Carlile is now in my favorite two cover song videos of all-time; this and her cover of 'Madman Across the Water' by Elton John. It is here on youtube. I never in a million years would have thought someone would have the balls to cover 'Madman Across the Water', but Brandi did it and it is amazing!!!

      I think you are right. The first time I heard this I thought it was lacking Stevie Nicks range and the Fleetwood percussion. But listening to them back to back this version is incredible, just a little different.
