    It's insane how much better Instant Classic keeps getting year after year.

      Ethan I know. They were pretty freaking incredible to begin with. IMO best of all time.

    Arranged by David Zimmerman. I have a huge respect for those who arrange their own music!!!

    • @daviddotorg
      @daviddotorg 4 года назад +29

      That's their entire quartet. Kyle, Kohl, and Theo also arrange music

    Kyle's low F on Shenandoah at 2:59 gives me chills to no end.

      David's part there is perfect counterpoint!

  • @kleopatra540
    @kleopatra540 3 года назад +108

    I just want to point out that the last chord is very unconventional, 5-1-3-1. I don't know if David intended this, but that chord has the low Db root tone as an undertone. No one in IC can sing that low, but they produced that note anyway, you can hear it quite clearly at the end of the tag. Absolutely insane.

      I Never heard this because when I would sing bass on this I always dropped to that note and now listening I hear it

  • @duskmallow

    I especially love the part from 2:10 onward when they sing both songs at once. Gives me chills.

      Having the brothers was a great choice because their voices match up so perfectly

  • @daviddotorg

    I love Kohl's low register, middle register, and high register.

  • @KyleHottel

    My favorite quartet is The Newfangled Four, but I love this group (Instant Classic) singing this song. What a beautiful sound!

    That chord at 3:15... I'm pretty sure I died and went to heaven.

    At 1:22 "place just right" I loved the placement of the breath on "play (breath) sjust right" Really unexpected and really works!

  • @Radiatoron88

    This one went straight into my bookmarks midway through a first listening. A very beautiful arrangement of Simple Gifts and Shenandoah!

    I love how Kohl, the bari, absolutely kills that tenor line at 3:15.

  • @michaelgeiger4043
    @michaelgeiger4043 2 года назад +4

    "Always leave 'em wanting more!" Like a low D-flat in the final chord! :)

    • @stormvortex3040
      @stormvortex3040 2 года назад +3

      A low Db generated by an undertone at that!

    Finishing on the 2nd inversion was really refreshing and interesting... great job David

    i feel like this would be a rad chorus piece; sounds a little bare in a quartet. still killed it.
    edit: its just as lit as a quartet piece my bad

      The baritone notes at 3:10 are also quite high

    • @markvanmaanen5152
      @markvanmaanen5152 Год назад +2

      The cool thing is he didn't actually sing that note. It's a harmonic overtone, just like the extremely low note that seems to be in the last chord.

  • @tomking7039
    @tomking7039 4 года назад +24

    I wonder if kohl will sing lead and start his own quartet and win another gold someday

    Unbelievably difficult modulations and dissonances that remind of the works of Gesualdo during the late Renaissance.

    • @ParkerRognrud
      @ParkerRognrud 4 года назад +8

      C Major in 2nd inversion. Kyle sung the 5th of the chord, Kohl and David share the root an octave apart (David on top), and Theo sung the third above Kohl.

    • @TheoHicks
      @TheoHicks 4 года назад +20

      That’s right, Parker! Kohl and I are switched though - I’m on root, Kohl is on the third!

    • @ParkerRognrud
      @ParkerRognrud 4 года назад +8

      That’s an interesting voicing choice that David made! The arrangement is gorgeous.

    • @Jakeroo767
      @Jakeroo767 2 года назад +1

      @@TheoHicks so I noticed that Kohl takes the higher parts when David sings lead are you more comfortable filling in that Baritone role briefly like in the part at the Gbadd9 chord
