The Secret of Christmas

My third multi-track and first full-length a capella song to be uploaded to YouTube. I sang all four parts by myself. This song really means a lot to me because it explains that our kindness and generosity should extend beyond the Christmas seasons. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed singing it.

Please keep in mind that my normal voice part is BASS, so some of the high parts were a real challenge for me, and may not be perfect. I recorded the audio with M-Audio Pro Tool and the video with a Samsung HD camera. I assembled everything together with Sony Vegas Pro. No auto-tune or pitch correction has been applied. Please, honest but no rude comments.

Thanks - TBredBass

Where did you get this arrangment? I've been looking for one for my chorus; the men are particularly strong, so this would be PERFECT! Could you post the info? Thanks!

Nice job doing all 4 parts being a bass. I sang this in a quartet and loved it. For me the climax of the song is the final "may your days be merry and bright...merry and bright". I can't hear it without crying...something about that chord change. Your pitch was a little off there and that kinda ruins the emotional effect; distracting. Also, sounds like you double or chorused the lead part; don't see that mentioned in your notes. Anyway, thanks for doing this. What a great song/arrangement.

You are awesome!!! This song has been on my mind for days now and did a search here. (first heard it decades ago (bing crosby, say one for me) your singing has touched me I wish you much much success Merry Christmas!

This is one of the great little-known pop Christmas tunes. I love the prelude and coda of "White Christmas" and the key modulation.

There is a good version of this by Bing Crosby. I hope someone can find it and post.

Merry Christmas

Always enjoying seeing others' multitrack interpretations. I noticed a good deal of "buzz" on this, probably because most people's speakers are equipped to handle bass that loud. You might think about backing off a bit on the bass and see if that helps. Good show!
