Deck The Halls - Christmas A CAPPELLA cover song multitrack by Trudbol lyrics

[Nerdslab]

Technically its "Deck the Hall", but still excellent!

[mprice916]

this was amazing.

[superDjoew]

oh my God ! *speechless* :D

[pompereute]

magnifique et émouvant. I suggest this song : "sh-boom"

[trudbol]

@pompereute Merci ! Yes, I often get this song requested, but it's a tough piece to sing as a multitrack. Homophonic arrangements are really much more suited for this way of making harmonies, it's very difficult to get the timing right when singing all the parts separately.

[pompereute]

@trudbol cher ami, do you know: Amis sur cette terre?(cf Youtube)

[slurpeemcq]

Holy Jesus. The timing was flawless. I am very very impressed! Great work! :)

[trudbol]

@slurpeemcq Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year in music. ;-)

[Mrsmileyboy95]

I love your songs :D Greetings from Germany

[trudbol]

@Mrsmileyboy95 Thank you! Share my videos as often as you want! ;-)

[wiccachu]

i think i have listened to it for 100 times today (and im not exaggerating) and im still counting. i just clicked on replay, replay, replay...

[trudbol]

@wiccachu Haha, so that's where the traffic as coming from! ;-) I've posted several other Winter season acapella videos by the way.

Happy New Year!

[wiccachu]

@trudbol happy new year too! i'll do the same for 'auld lang syne' as well. lol.

[Snarfangel]

Very festive! Thanks!

[trudbol]

@Snarfangel Glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year! ;-)

[baiianolk]

Maravilhoso!

[trudbol]

@baiianolk ;-)

[vorkvoyd]

AWESOME!!!!!

[trudbol]

@vorkvoyd Glad you enjoyed it! Happy New Year. ;-)

[schymbros]

Great performance - Merry Christmas!

[BeintaCool]

'yay'! more x-mas songs please! 'yaaaaaaaaaaay'..... (i hate x-mas songs. B[ )

[trudbol]

@BeintaCool ;-)

[Inglesepertutti]

Really BRILLIANT!!

I played your video to my English language students here in Florence (Italy) and they absolutely loved it!

We were all impressed by your perfect harmony and timing, and of course we just loved the way you three work together.

Admit it, you ARE clones, aren't you?

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to all three of you!

Douglas and students.

[trudbol]

@Inglesepertutti Thank you for the kind words, delighted you enjoyed it. Happy New Year! ;-)

[tokyoteam]

You are brilliant D:

[jd7x7jd]

Mon Dieu, comme ce jeune homme nous bénisse avec son énergie positive :)

[system9697]

MONTREAL!!!!!!!!!!!

[trudbol]

@system9697 Go Habs! Go!

[josiahkeller21]

@trudbol how do you ensure that each of you stays in beat with the others?

[trudbol]

@josiahkeller21 I practice. It's that simple.

[sakura6789]

This confirms it your Canadain go Mcgill

[trudbol]

@sakura6789 I'm French, my brother works at McGill and sent me the T-shirts. ;-)

[sakura6789]

@trudbol ThaTS ALRIGHT it doesn't change your awesomeness

[trudbol]

@sakura6789 Phew! ;-p

[SugarbabyLA]

So cute, the expressions and hats!! You've succeeded in making me giggle a lot!

[trudbol]

@SugarbabyLA Looks like you got some inspiration for your latest Christmas video by the way. Really great work Melody, I love your voice. ;-)

[batum44]

Hey buddy------------have you put any of this down on music?

[trudbol]

@batum44 Yes, please read the video description. ;-)

[Dastweeper]

I can't tell if you gave yourself elf ears or if it's just your hair.

[trudbol]

@Dastweeper Real ears. ;-)

[civiscivis]

@trudbol Brilliant work, thanks a lot! May you also make a cover of Hark the Herald Angel sing? I love this song so much. If its not possible... nevermind and keep up the good work^^

[trudbol]

@civiscivis I'd love to, but I'm so short on time! ;-)

[shadysidelantern]

To the contrary, I think that apparell is quite manly.

[356Alexandru]

I love it ! Can you put please the free MP3?

[trudbol]

@356Alexandru Thanks! OK, I just did. Please consider making a donation for my work, putting this kind of music together takes time. ;-)

[scootergreen3]

Awesome!!! great blending of your voice you are Gifted!

[CedricFrappier]

Looking at those shirts makes me realize that you must live in Montreal, just like me! I hope to meet you someday, please tell me a way for me to know if you make any apearance on a scene somewhere!

This video is great, just as the others!

[trudbol]

@CedricFrappier Thanks! I live in Paris, France. My brother who lives in Montréal sent me the shirts. ;-)

[TiaraUponThouHead]

[Turboniko68]

Ok, now i start to collect and make my very special Trudbol-Christmas-Album :D

I'm sure all my visitors will love it.

Thanks for all the great songs!

[trudbol]

@Turboniko68 My pleasure! Not sure I understood what you mean by "make your album"? If you're downloading my music from YouTube, please consider making a donation to support my work. ;-)

[Turboniko68]

@trudbol

With my album I mean that i just put some christmas song in a folder and let it play on my TV on X-mas, not more ;)

And of course I will donate, promise!

[Turboniko68]

@Turboniko68

OK, donation done ;)

[trudbol]

@Turboniko68 Danke schön! ;-)

[gapboi]

No way!!! You live in Montreal!?!?!? Holy shit! I've been listening to you for soooo long! Had no idea!

[trudbol]

@gapboi No, I live in Paris France, I just got these shirts from my brother who lives there. ;-)

[wendys120]

@trudbol No Way!!! You have a brother?!?!?!? Holy shit! ;-P

[123zdoug]

How do you get any dislikes on this?

[trudbol]

@123zdoug Some people find it strange to sing with oneself I guess. ;-)

[shadowbutterfly93]

@trudbol It may be strange.. occasionally.. but you do it epicly =D

Keep at it ^^ Quite surprise your not even more well known than you are already :P

[codduckypond]

It seems like this is the already arranged version, unless your not selling it which would probably mean it is

[trudbol]

@codduckypond I don't understand your comment. If you're interested in learning this song, I sell audio learning tracks for it, yes. Just email me and I'll give you the details.

[bocibogi]

funny:D

[jessica131100]

Genious!

[trudbol]

[trudbol]

@WhiteWave3 I just released a new Winter season A Cappella video. ;-)

[michelleshinee]

this is good good job

[trudbol]

@michelleshinee Thanks! ;-)

[omniiijay]

Trudbol.

You are now my Idol.

I hail to the master.

[trudbol]

@omniiijay LOL ;-)

[justinshermanator]

How do you make an a capella cover? Thanks

[trudbol]

@justinshermanator I don't understand your question. I write the arrangement / purchase it, and then record it with Audacity. Then I piece together the video with Sony Vegas Pro.

[ihatecolereynolds]

@trudbol HIGH FIVE FOR AUDACITY! I personally think it deserves all caps. WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?

[trudbol]

@ihatecolereynolds Yeah, it's a great program to get started and I'm amazed that the open source model uis actually sustainable, however fragile. People have to remember to donate, even if they get it for free. Nothing is really free, there's always someone putting in the work and sharing it with the community. It's important the community gives in return when they like what they get. ;-)

[leozangd]

Ah MacGill. Une véritable université de rêve :).

[KarstenPudwill]

I wish I could sing some tags or anything with you.

[july71965]

Do you/did you attend McGill?

[trudbol]

@july71965 My brother does, yes. ;-)

[BeckyLovesCookies]

haha, I love this song!! after hearing it, it's always stuck in my head for hours :D

[CoreyHero666]

Too stupid

[MegJ326]

his voice sounds perfect for carols!

[dakodarollins]

could you do "My Little Buttercup" ive only heard it in Three Amigos. but itd be great!

[NorskiParentx3]

Any chance you could do a setting of "Silent Night" or "Adeste Fideles"? You have immense talent and your videos are great fun to watch and to hear. Thanks much for sharing them!

[trudbol]

@NorskiParentx3 Sure, just wait a few more months! ;-)

[NorskiParentx3]

@trudbol Of course: Christmas is still a few months off! 8-)

[3Mitsi]

Like!!! (even though we don't celebrate Christmas..(

lol.. :-)

[Spongefreak89]

I'm already in the Christmas spirit lol!!!

[Marieannification]

We are coming up to Mid-winter Christmas in New Zealand I am sooo in the Christmas mood now!! Ka pai Julien!! I am emailing this link to EVERYONE!! :D

[trudbol]

@Marieannification Thank you very much for your support! ;-)

[Marieannification]

@trudbol Crickey that was quick! What time is it in france? Oh and PS all goods you have possibly another 20 NZ supporters in your net now ;D

[trudbol]

@Marieannification Great! Thanks for the early present (it's good ol' summertime over here)! ;-)

[tsvvladimir8495]

Super! Like it!!!)))

[trudbol]

@tsvvladimir8495 Thanks! Do share my videos with your friends! ;-)

[MrOlipoly]

Cool

[MrOlipoly]

Ece que tu vien de Montréal ??

[trudbol]

@MrOlipoly Non je suis Parisien. C'est mon frère qui vit là-bas qui m'a envoyé les T-shirts. ;-)

[BlackInocence1998]

Now this is just wierd but good

[madeintheusa1]

Julien, you go to McGill?? ME TOO! Great video :)

[trudbol]

@madeintheusa1 Thanks! I don't go to McGill, my brother sent me T-shirts and asked me to make a video with them? I'll be in Montréal from April 19th to May 13th though, visiting him near McGill for a couple of days. ;-)

[madeintheusa1]

@trudbol awesome! it's great here, are you playing any shows??

[trudbol]

@madeintheusa1 No, just visiting my brother and meeting a few YouTubers (GuizDP, bordonthestreet, GrosTabarnak, etc.). Cheers

[06jme]

Julien, I only recently found you on here, but I've seen almost all of your videos. I really like your voice quality, and it reminds me of the old barbershop quarters from decades gone by. Keep up the good work!

[nzbbs]

Simple and best!

[viniciusabarros89]

that would give a good duel xD

[CarlyCarlyW]

Julien, although a bit tardy with my remarks, I wanted you to know that I really love this elegant recording. Thanks for explaining in the comments about the soprano & alto voices, and the reduction to three parts.

As always, your video description is very informative. Until now, I didn't know that "measure" referred to dancing in this context. So thanks for the song history & lyrics.

Also, I hope you're able to travel to Canada soon to visit your brother (and some notable YouTubers).

[trudbol]

@CarlyCarlyW Thanks Paul! It's nice to "see" you again. ;-)

[Piggmaster]

Hey julien

nice clip . cool arrangement. i hope you had nice holidays .

I'm now nearly 2 Years Subscriber of yours and you astonish me with every new clip .(and you always get better) best regards René

[mdeaves2012]

when I said to try an SATB version I meant to find someone to sing Alto and Soprano and you Tenor and Bass

[deuzijetzt1]

metti proprio buon umore! Grazie!

[cawiseguy]

Dude, as always, you rock!

[ThePatrickinator]

I believe the parts are Bass, Baritone, and Tenor for this song, correct?

[trudbol]

@ThePatrickinator Close. They are Bass, Alto and Soprano, except I sang the latter two an octave below. The Tenor and the Soprano voices doubled too many notes, so I chose to make it three part. ;-)

[bartlett88]

@trudbol everyone knows that Wikipedia is not a decent site to quote sources... you dont know if the person who contributed to an article is a hack or educated. i even messed with some articles just to tick people off, its too easy

[trudbol]

@bartlett88 You're incorrect about that. Wikipedia has some quite reliable information as well. I double checked several points in the article and am in fact a contributor. ;-)

You can mess with articles, but most of the time your intrusions are corrected quite quickly by people who keep track of modifications.

In any case, if you have more interesting and reliable information to offer, feel free to let me know.

[apvabate]

Thankyou so much for entertaining me over the years... a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you :)

[trudbol]

@apvabate Ah, thank you! Cheers! ;-)

[apvabate]

Thankyou so much for entertaining me over the years... a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you :)

A Blessed & Joyful Christmas! :D

[trudbol]

@nosremeasam Thank you very much and Happy Holidays to you too. Cheers!

[DonutPrinzess]

[trudbol]

@DonutPrinzess Thanks a bunch! Happy Holidays!

[TheLotanos]

i watched it again in the 10th time or so, and i just realized how AWESOME you are! i realized that you shoot every separate video at the same place and looking at the guy in the middle to make it realistic! it was so natural i didn't even noticed!

[trudbol]

@TheLotanos Thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, the set-up is pretty simple, it just requires a little acting, but nothing fancy. I'm surprised I had you fooled for so long! Happy Holidays!

[DarkVampireSoul]

weihnachten ist gerettet... ;) frohes fest wünsch ich dir... ist dir wieder super gelungen:)

[trudbol]

@DarkVampireSoul Danke schön! ;-)

[1puppetmaster1]

Bloody job well don mate! A smile came across my face when you added the tempo change there in the end. Happy Christmas!!

[trudbol]

@1puppetmaster1 Thanks man, much appreciated. It's always a pleasure to read your comments. Thanks for your regular visits. Happy Holidays

[trudbol]

@MDMesser001 Thanks and Happy Holidays. Look forward to your upcoming videos. ;-)

[Oyukyfairy]

ohmygod! that voice is so beautiful!! my life is now complete. although i would like to meet you in person...

[trudbol]

@Oyukyfairy Thanks, I'm flattered. Happy Holidays

[Oyukyfairy]

@trudbol your welcome :D

[Synsacrus]

Ahah! Yet another flawless performance from trudbol!

What I would really like to see, though, is an arrangement of the Hallelujah Chorus.

[trudbol]

@Synsacrus Thanks. I'd be happy to give it a try if you can provide me with sheet music. It's generally my most limiting constraint. Happy Holidays

[Synsacrus]

@trudbol I'll see if I can find some :D

[AdMeliora1]

I was hoping you would do a Christmas Carol - and hooray, you did!

Your fantastic voice is perfect in this song - you sound like a group of professional carolers or a performance from a wonderful church choir! :)

Can I assume from your shirts, that you visited your brother already?

Merry Christmas Julien!

[trudbol]

@AdMeliora1 Thanks! It's my brother who sent me the T-shirts, I just did the video at home, in Paris, where the winter is milder. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

PS: I'm working on a compilation of French stories from my early days, will get back to you on that soon. ;-)
