@thehoneyman Thanks! Check out my most recent video "Sweet Lorraine". It's arranged by the same musical genius Gene Puerling, but has a real bass and a real soprano to make it more effective.
manonfire said it best.......lower the soprano and bump up the tenor. Its a beautifully arranged peice (MT?) that really highlights a strong tenor line.
Um...Anyone who listens to this and complains about some MINOR pitch issues that the average ear doesn't hear anyway, is way out of line. Whoever you are, you are amazing. I'm a giant fan of Puerling's arrangements, and you have knocked it out of the park. I'm subscribing...and posting on my fb for the sake of my students.
I disagree with what you wrote in your description. There are a couple places where you slide out of tune, especially when you get into your higher range and head voice and falsetto. "the moon that lingered" verse was always a tad flat. There's no "right" key. As a musician you should know this: that you adjust music to a key you can sing in. This rendition is just by you. So you did it in a key that you could sing in. TMT PROBABLY did it in a key that all four of the vocalists could sing.
@RCycleRider4Eva I agree, I shouldn't have written "tune" in the description. However, I was referring to mostly how they go about a semitone flat and end up overall flatter than the arrangement suggests. I know this because it was very difficult to transcribe. I had a very tough time differentiating which key they were singing in because they were about half way in between two keys. It doesn't mean they weren't in tune with each other, because they're still fantastic.
Music is so much stronger than words that my comment will be meaningless in comparison to the harmonious brilliance you display with your God-blessed talent. If only there was a more explicit phrase than "thank you". But such will be forced to suffice. Infinitely magical.
this was beautiful you made my night! Thank you! Keep doing what you'er doing you'er very talented..... I have a request The next song April in Paris!
I completely love the fact that people still believe in real music and are willing to pursue it...surely beats the crappy sell out music that people put out just so that they can be popular, only to have someone who's doing the same thing only in a SLIGHTLY different way replace them.
Awesome ! - to the cretins that say canadians are boring - they should listen to Fong & kesler - oh yes and Maynard Ferguson, Oscar Peterson, Diana Krall et al.
You remind me of me 50 years. I would do over dubbing with 2 reel to reel tape recorders until I had 4-8 voice harmony like the Freshman, Hi Los and the Singers Unlimited.
Needless to say the quality was horrendous. But I loved it anyway.
It's wonderful to hear that a young man believes in "real" music and performs it with such emotion. God bless you Danny, keep it going.
every time i hear this song i just, become so peaceful. its like all the things i worry about, dissapear.i love this song. thank you soooooo much for making, and posting this video. now whenever im feeling down i'll either listen to, or think of this song. :)
Are you familiar with the S. K. Grundy arrangement of "Nightingale . . ." that the Confederates (1956 SPEBSQSA champs) did? Actually, I prefer the way Dealer's Choice (1973 SPEBSQSA champs) did it--same arrangement, but much more engaging interp. Grundy changed the melody a little in the bridge to get what he felt was a better chord progression, but it's still a honey of a chart. I do believe I like Manhattan Transfer's arrangement just a tad better, tho'. Good job on this!
@TheHoneybuns021 ? I'm not sure what you're referring to.. my mic Apex 435, a Mic stand, and a pop filter are in this video? Sorry if I answered the wrong question.
I study classical music in 5th semestra. This was fucking fantastic. maybe 2 or 3 little mistakes, but I dont count them this was really great great great, I almost cried.
Golly...I'm surprised a the picky responses. Manhattan Transfer doesn't even sing this piece as written..they omit the dissonance on "seemed upside down". Danny does it pretty close to perfection. Y'all give it a try...this is a very difficult piece of music.
Hey, sounds super!!! Just wondering if you meant M-audio pro usb? Only ask because i've never heard of a M-audio pre but thats prob my lack of knowledge. =)
i gotta admit that this is pretty sick :) the only thing is that i would differentiate the vollumes of each part because since some of the chords in this song are really tense when sung together so when they are all the same vollume it is really straining so I would just lower the vollume on some of the tense parts that clash with each other...other than that you've got a great range and you did this in a very tastefull way...good job :)
I listened to this video a couple of months ago but I forgot to comment. Anyway I've listened to their (manhattan's) version a million times before. I like this song sung this way and you sung it in a more refined fashion. Hahaha you were probably not born yet when they recorded it. The BBD (bucket brigade) chip havent been invented yet. Now its used in almost every audio equipment. Keep singing its beautiful!
This is an amazing job! I have to sing the bass part as part of my choir audition. But its kinda hard to hear it. You should post them as individuals :)
I grew up listening to Manhattan Transfer and I've always loved the way that their tones always blended. It was like they were of the same person (which brings the song Four Brothers to mind actually) just as you are here. I tip my hat to you as this is almost 100% identical to their recording and I can't stop listening to it. 5 stars and a subscription here.
This is fantastic! I have to sing this for my Jazz choir audition, and I want to sing the Soprano or Alto part... You should record and post each of them individually so I can learn it...!
Wow! Awesome, Danny! You're very talented and you've helped me learn more about Gene. I've heard a lot of his stuff, but never knew who it was that arranged the songs. Keep up the good work. I'll subscribe and I'll be listening ;)
I thoroughly enjoyed your rendition of the arrangement. I also enjoy the Manhattan Transfer's arrangement and it is nice to hear the differences in the two. I understand that yours if probably what Puerling intended, but there is some phrasing that MT do that I also appreciate. Well done.
I am very, very impressed. You MORE than do Peurling's arrangement justice. Each chord is in tune and the complex harmonies are tight. Bravo. A pleasure to listen to!
this is incredible. my a cappella group sang this piece. you do a pretty damn good job by yourself, though. and I concur - it's an amazing arrangement with just 4 parts.
Sorry, I just read your info block where you state that you don't use auto-tune. What are you listening to when you do these? Are you singing along with something?
@acapeles1 Well I don't really know what you're referring to. All of my notes match those of the music. Do you know what the notes are supposed to be? It's a very complex arrangement.
Dan, your stuff is absolutely STUNNING! I'm not sure which intrigues me the most: the arrangements (I know, they're not yours); your range, from bass to falsetto; or the accuracy of your synchronisation between the parts.
This stuff is simply amazing. I have another suggestion, even if its a bit below your GODLIKE level!! We're doing New Ashmolean Marching Society and Students Conservatory Band. You should look at it, you would completely rock it based on your stuff! Keep up the amazing work!
Wow! Excellent job. Spot on intonation. There are a few spots where you're singing something different from the Manhattan Transfer version (I don't know if you chose to do this intentionally or not). Anyway, great job. This is the first video of yours that I've come across--now I'll have to check out everything else you've done.
Dan, I continue to be amazed by the combination of genius and talent you possess. I so look forward to your latest, and this was one from an all-time favourite group of mine for many, many years! Your rendition rivals M.T.'s for clarity, quality, precision, pitch, control..... Thanks Dan! from Darryl in Regina
you can buy this gene puerling arrangement on pretty much any major choir music store, its like a dollar a copy. it's also available for ttbb, which is pretty much just down like a 4th, for those jazz/barbershop quartets
The Manhattan Transfer is my favorite group, really. Loved them since "Java Jive" and "Tuxedo Junction". This is one of my favorite songs they do. (I used to sing Alan Paul's part) You did a great job with it. As for me The Manhattan transfer can do no wrong. I can say the same for you. Do you do your own arrangements?
Great...my favorite Manhattan Transfer Song!!! I've gotten to see them twice in person...once on New Year's Even in Radio City Music Hall in 1983...and once 2 years ago in Madrid. They are still as magnificent as ever. You do them justice. I really enjoy your videos...keep them coming!!! I'm going to send this one around...it's wonderful. Have you ever tried any of the original Swingle SIngers stuff from the 1960's...that would be a new challenge.

Wow! Excellent job. Spot on intonation. There are a few spots where you're singing something different from the Manhattan Transfer version (I don't know if you chose to do this intentionally or not). Anyway, great job. This is the first video of yours that I've come across--now I'll have to check out everything else you've done.

Dan, I continue to be amazed by the combination of genius and talent you possess. I so look forward to your latest, and this was one from an all-time favourite group of mine for many, many years! Your rendition rivals M.T.'s for clarity, quality, precision, pitch, control..... Thanks Dan! from Darryl in Regina

you can buy this gene puerling arrangement on pretty much any major choir music store, its like a dollar a copy. it's also available for ttbb, which is pretty much just down like a 4th, for those jazz/barbershop quartets

Fantastic Danny. As a quartet, we used to do "Java Jive" and "Tuxedo Junction" in shows. Great stuff. Keep it up.

The Manhattan Transfer is my favorite group, really. Loved them since "Java Jive" and "Tuxedo Junction". This is one of my favorite songs they do. (I used to sing Alan Paul's part) You did a great job with it. As for me The Manhattan transfer can do no wrong. I can say the same for you. Do you do your own arrangements?

By the way, the hat is hysterical. Must be very cold already up North! Stay warm and be cool.

Great...my favorite Manhattan Transfer Song!!! I've gotten to see them twice in person...once on New Year's Even in Radio City Music Hall in 1983...and once 2 years ago in Madrid. They are still as magnificent as ever. You do them justice. I really enjoy your videos...keep them coming!!! I'm going to send this one around...it's wonderful. Have you ever tried any of the original Swingle SIngers stuff from the 1960's...that would be a new challenge.
