beautiful as always ladies, ESPECIALLY since it was done with a simple condenser mic.
My only thought (other than the single flat bass note that was well recovered) would be to stagger breaths and use overtones (which you ladies have plenty, as well as undertones) to your advantage and effectively remove any gaps in the sound.
Sounds wonderfully old-fashioned to me, like the Andrew Sisters or something. At some point, I almost expected some big band sounds to kick in... Glenn Miller, anybody?
You ladies are adorable...as much that i really can't choose who of you i would spend the next new year's eve with. Hei why should i choose, i can invite you all!
I think you might be the only ones who actually know more than one verse of "Auld Lang Syne"! Seriously, your voices blend very well, nobody's sticking out, and that's really good. The acoustics in this room actually suit you well, a more intimate sound, and your pitch was nearly perfect throughout. That low D7 you sing at the end of the refrain (in "La-ng") locks and rings very nicely. One of your best, well done!
Best yet. Your voices work really well in this room. No hollow sound like the stariway ones. Stumbling on to you four on here has "made" my day off. Tks girls.
@ArchFundy Thanks for your kind words. We're glad you enjoy our singing. We have no plans to tour, but we do have a CD which is available online at Crystal Ball Records, called a Pocket Full of Change, featuring 21 songs, including two not on the channel, and the sound and studio quality make it well worth the money.
The singing is absolutely great! However, you should really consider getting a better microphone (or perhaps even two! - stereo is awesome) Given the amount of time you seem to spend making videos, that would probably be worth the investment.
@IAmReallyAwesome99 You might want to consider ordering a CD from Crystal Ball Records. It's called A Pocket Full of Change, and the studio versions are so much superior for sound. Thanks for your interest. Kevin.
Talented girls with amazing voice and intonation, who take me back to the old days, when we heard some of these songs in Hungary, that time behind the iron curtain, secretly listening to the faraway Radio Free Europe . Congratulations and please, keep up!
As of November 1st, the Four Quarters have a CD available for their fans. It is on the Crystal Ball Records label and is entitled "A Pocket Full of Change." This song isn't on it, but many of the fan favorites are. They sound even better recorded in the studio.
Your harmonies are so rich. I am reminded of the great harmony singers of the past such as the Beach Boys, Four Freshman, Four Aces, Mills Brothers, and so many others. You girls have a special talent and it appears as though you have excellent musical guidance. Continue to develop this God given talent, stay focused and most importantly, stay together! I think I speak for legions of other fans when I say this.
This is a lovely treat for the fans of the group. As much as I love your doo wop and some of your more complex arrangements, there's a lot to be said for taking something simple and traditional and doing it beautifully in straight four-part harmony. Spend your next vacation as you please, but this would seem to be a formula for a much less stressful holiday season.
One of my hobbies is searching out acapella groups on you tube. This group is special. No other amateur group that I've heard is at good at "singing together" as this group. Some have great soloists, flashier arrangements, or more stage personality. Very few have 4 such talented singers and fewer still have 4 voices so well matched. These girls listen to each and adjust to blend into the group sound. Watch the girl on the right smile when she hears perfect harmonies in every video.
Wonderful!!! Good acoustics at this location, too! Allows each of your voices to be heard individually and in chorus. Strength in each of your voices, too. Very great clip!
Wow, I can't believe I have never heard of you guys, I was looking for auld lang syne sung as a chorus, sort a heroic version and I stumbled across this video. Absolutely amazing, you guys are awesome, keep up the great singing!
I didn't see the Doo Wop songs listed on facebook. What songs are they? I'd certainly love to hear you sing doo wop music, I'm a huge fan of music from that era.
Amazing sound, you girls are very talented, If you want some critique, please "move" bend your knees, search youtube for sweet adelines and young women in harmony and see how they perform. you can outdo them, maybe join them? Great singing!!
Beautiful..... :-))
