  • The Bethel College Choir sang in my grain bin!
    Have you ever sung in a grain bin? We were honored to have the Bethel College Choir to come sing in our brand new grain bin. The acusticks in the grain bin are better than you would expect! Settle in for a few minutes and enjoy Down to the River to Pray. The choir did an amazing job in this unexpected space to perform!
    Thank you William Eash and Bethel College Choir of Newton, Kansas for making my day beautiful. If you would like to contact them to perform for you, please follow this link: www.bethelks.edu/fine-arts/ch...
    Thank you to our sponsor:

    Farmer Derek lives and works on the Klingenberg Family farm and ranch. He works with his Dad and two brothers. They raise Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Cattle, and Cats. They background all the cattle and then graze them in the Flint Hills and they end up at the feedyards in Western Kansas.
    The farm was started in the mid 30's by his grandpa who immigrated from West Prussia in 1923 when he was 9.
    Growing up, Derek's family priorities consisted of church, family, work, music, and eating a lot. He now has his own family of three cute girls along with his wife Kara. Derek spends his time working on the farm, dancing with his girls, and making CZcams videos.

      Yeah the tenor's get the glory but the bass boys get the girls. Unless a tenor goes crazy high nobody reacts. Yet it's increasingly rare to hear people sing bass, so when you do the reactions are "OH I Love that bass!" In singing as a part of the worship team at church when the opportunity presents itself to go into the E2 - D2 range I go for it.
      edit: As confirmation on that. Just look at the comments. Soprano on point, Alto gotta love that harmony. Tenor hiding in the clouds per usual. Bass killing it. Every vocal part nailed it. Yet who gets the reactions... bass.

      @@LiMCRiMZ You're right. In loud/echoey/exceptionally dry place where we can't hear ourselves, we need to really trust our conductor. At that time though, even our conductor had some problem perceiving the tempo because of the echo. In this video, the conductor might wore IEM to keep track of the tempo which now I remembered ours also wear when we performed right by an orchestra.

    This song is usually sung with each verse getting faster and faster. I was wondering what they would do with all that reverb! The choice was made to keep it slow, which, to me, was brilliant, really let the notes ring out and blend like they should. I loved it!

      Honestly, it can be hard to sing quickly with a lot of reverb. The echo hits your ears right as you are trying to hit your next note and it can really mess you up.

    • @jesusischrist1527

    I'd love to know who the guy was singing bass with notes clearly heard and dropping down into the cellar with a few of the notes.

    Good people singing in a grain silo = great beauty.
    All the bread from the grain will also be nourishing. Nice combination.

    I am in Dallas Texas & I believe music unites all humans!!! I was in choir one year in middle school & we won the UIL competition!! I LOVED CHOIR but my parents found it useless & wouldn't let me return to choir after that one year but I continued singing along to music on the radio dancing in the alley behind our house w/ my headphones on!!! Thank you for sharing this WONDERFUL video w/ us!!! I strongly believe music feeds the heart & soul!!!! You all sounded AMAZING!!! Thank you very much!!!

    I had to go back to this this morning. I have just started my day with this.
    Then I decided to play it just once more before breakfast.
    ...then just one more time.
    ...Then again.
    Then I got up but came back because you have one bass that hits the bottom so eloquently. I really wanted to focus in on that guy.
    Then one more time just for good measure.
    At this rate, I will starve for want of breakfast or even a cup of coffee.
    They will find my depleted body at my 'puter with my hand at my mouse.
    But, to the Bethel College Choir -- what a celestial way to go. A beautiful choir to send me off, and surely one on heaven's side to receive me.
    God is profoundly and boundlessly good.
    Thank you.

    Remember everyone, a good choir is an even better team. Each member relies upon each other to practice and care for the music they sing. It's not just the basses, sopranos, etc. it's everyone if any one of those sections were missing, it wouldn't be as fulfilling of a song.

    Great voices! Some of the bass guys had a didgeridoo sound. I guess the sides of the grain bin created some cool harmonics. Nice video

      if you love bass like me get a load of this!
      czcams.com/video/o8qu4OOQ_Dc/video.html
      It’s a singing technique called oktavism, other low singing techniques are growls and subharmonics, those are very popular as well

    • @mattcurtright5861

      To know what a didgeridoo is..you must be Australian. I have one. Probably one of only a few here in the U.S. 😥 I miss Australia .
