I have to keep coming back to this video, he's amazing! I wish he would grace the US soil once again with his talented voice and acting. We miss him. I had to go to England just to see him in Les Miz.
I am unbelievably jealous of this man. I'm a musical theatre student and a tenor and I would LOVE to be able to have the vocal technique and control Drew has. to be able to just launch in to B flats and C's like that is just phenomenal
AMAZING singer! Wow, I'm starting to like Drew more and more!
Seriously, guys, an overtone has to be OVER the sung note, not UNDER. And it doesn't sound like that, it has a lightly more whistle-y quality. Do a tiny bit more research. Not to mention the vibrato of the overtone and the fundamental tone don't match up the very first moment, so it sounds like the other singer adjusts to match his vibrato.
That last note was utter perfection! (as was all the rest, but you know what I mean)
It's in eloquent of me and crass but all I can think is UNF UNF UNF. Thanks for posting. I remember listening to that interview when it first came out.
overtone, also called harmonic singing, occurs when the singer amplifies voluntarily two overtones in the sequence available given the fundamental tone he/she is singing.
No, it's not in the movie, as you said. This kind of song shows the darker side of Hugo's story and Disney can't market stuff like this to little kids. That is part of why the stage show didn't run in the US (I think); too dark and real to be family friendly. The German show was a hybrid of songs from the movie and new songs that were written for the show. I think, from the start of the stage production, they wrote the lyrics in both German and English to leave it open to showing in both arenas.
This is one of the new songs that were written specifically for the stage. Music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. This is just the last bit of the song; the entirity of this song is a dialouge between Quasi and the gargoyles, who are more like parts of Quasi's conscience in the stage production. It occurs toward the end of the show after Quasimodo realizes that he is not going to get his happily ever after and pulls away into himself, embittered.
Google "Der Glockner Von Notre Dame" for more complete info on the show. There is one site that is particularly good that has extensive info about the show including lyrics in both English and German.
OMG thats so insane, I always thought if they ever did a musical version, they should make it a lot darker, stay more true to Hugo's ending and have the gargoyles be like Guasimodo's insanity, ya know? or his isolation
I actually don't think that he does. They didn't make it totally true to the book. Probably because the audience would be so depressed after seeing the show that they would want to kill themselves and everyone around them.
Clopin is the narrator. He doesn't die, but he does get really messed up. He has a patch over one eye and a fake leg. Then when they flashback, he's all young and cute again.
Wow!!! This is soo amazing!!! Yeah, seriously, if any knows where the sheet music is, please let me know!! I would love to audition with this piece :)
He's the best Quasimodo I've ever heard :D I love him so much! He's not only good in singing but also in acting...he's such a telentet boy...ahrgs!!! HUGS
There IS someone there at the end doing harmony on the last note. As there is no one else on the show, as far as I can tell, it must be the host, Seth. It sounds a little like him too, although it's hard to tell by just one note.
It was actually no one else singing with him, it's an overtone on the final note, which is when you sing one note and it resonates to another frequency and you can hear a second harmony over the note. It's extremely hard to do.
The show was written in English first, and then translated to German; I have the Sheet Music to the entire show in PDF format. Message me with your e-mail address and I'll be HAPPY to send it to you, it's absolutely spectacular.
This is so great! Drew sings this really well, and I love that it's in English!
But probably, that's the only English version of any part of any of the new songs we'll hear until they make an English version, if TPTB decide to be not cruel.
xDDDDD I thing you did not understand... Here in Spain when someone is called "Puto crack" it means he is amazing, awesome... something like that. This person just wanted to show how he admire Drew Sarich ;)
Anyway we could say that expression is new, first time I heard it was about year 2004... I don't remember exactly when... Well, now you can say you've learned something from spain today :P
