If you want to see the video in full without me talking, head here:
• Calvary
From since the beginning of a song got Jeron’s head shaking before they start singing buckle up we all getting happy
YESSSS!!! I was thinking the same thing!!! 😂 BUT if you already know the song you already KNOW!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Haha, Listen Just Thinking About Calvary Makes You Want To Buck & Praise Him 🙌🏾
Yessss!
Lol, right!! Jaron said, "I gonna be good" and I said, No, you're not. 😊
Let's go!
Jaron: "I'm not gone get happy."
*video starts* Jaron: *shaking head vigorously clearly about to get happy*
Richard Smallwood is a musical genius. His arrangements incorporates just about all genres in one song. Amazing
The immediate previous director of the Aeolians is a musical genius
You know it’s Holy Week when you start hearing Vision sing Calvary 🙌🏽🙌🏽! Thanks for showcasing the great Richard Smallwood & Vision again!
And Don’t cry. Classic must sing Easter songs
Yeah ya right!
I’m a Richard Smallwood fan...all day long! The best praise and worship music..
Me toooooo❤
You MUST do Kirk Franklin's "Don't Cry" for Easter! Richard Smallwood was on the piano for that song.
Richard and Vision ARE the standard. THE standard! This arrangement of the Spiritual 'Calvary' is a testament to God's love and our ancestors ability to put it to words and melody. The four part Chorale is one the most intricate, and beautiful voice leading examples that I have seen written on paper. Very Bach-esque. Richard's Howard University (School of Music at the time) training comes through quite clearly. It also sets Vision apart. Going from full out Hawkins to the 1971 Howard University Concert Choir under Warner Lawson and Evelyn White, tonally, is very hard to do. THIS is why you go to school for music. You don't have to stay in the classical realm but USE the training to set yourself apart.
Amen!
WORD!!!
@ Gianni Music…Let’s not forget Darin Atwater the orchestra conductor. He’s amazing as well! 💙
@@revmd621 No doubt!
Most challenging song I have ever been asked to perform.
This man is one of the most iconic songwriters/composers in the gospel arena. I go in every time I hear a Richard Smallwood song.
I didn't know this was going to be a sermonic selection, then the word was going to go forth! PREACH PREACHER!
You feel this song before they even start singing! Whew
Thank you, Thank you Because Richard Smallwood and Vision don't get the flowers he deserves
The last lead was the original lead from when they sang this on the Textures album with the Smallwood Singers. Her voice has the perfect texture for this song.
Grief infused with hopefulness and happiness, knowing the big picture, salvation for everyone! Thank you JESUS! 🙌🏽🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♀️
...well, the doors of the church are open!
I would LOVE to see you someday analyze Nothing Without Your Love by Richard Smallwood. Lorree K. Slye's vocals are insane. I understand it may not get as many views are more popular videos though. But she is an insane technical jazz vocalist and her showcase on that song is unmatched.
I agree and she can sing first Soprano
I shared "Nothing Without Your Love" with some high level orchestra composers in Nashville the other day, and their jaws hit the floor in amazement. They immediately wanted to hear more from Smallwood, so I played "The Procession of the Levites" and they couldn't take it. It hit them so hard they had to walk out of the room to breathe. When they came back they wanted to listen closer to the the orchestration and chordal structure of "The Procession of the Levites". They said they have never heard chord voicings like the brass was playing in "The Procession of the Levites". They instantly became Smallwood fans, and influenced by his music. To God be the glory!
This song sounds like an old black spiritual sang by slaves. I love it!😊
I also LOVE how the choir goes from harmony to single voice, them back to harmony. This is genius composing
10 seconds in he’s shaking his head and I’m swaying side to side. Lordt!!! It’s the piano for me! 😭😭😭😭
I remember the first time I heard this song when I was a kid… I knew that it was special .. and to this day..this song still sends me😩‼️😬
I love this song and Jarons analysis.
If I’m not mistaken, I think that’s Richard Smallwood on the wall behind Jaron, to the left of the CZcams award. It looks like the cover of “live in Atlanta “?
Your ability to break down and simplify the complex harmonies and vocal style choices exemplified in this soul stirring Easter Anthem, speaks well of your own excellent vocal and musical theory skills, good Sir! Awesome analysis as usual!!!
Love to hear Jaron singing ❤️
22:00 Jaron ready to preach
By his stripes we are healed
Amen.
Everyone have a blessed Easter Sunday
It's the way I rewatched 11:35-11:40 about 10 times. SING JARONNNNN 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We will see if you can keep it together, however, I doubt it. This song takes me there EVERY time.
I’m a diehard of Richard Smallwood and Vision. This analysis is amazing. Love what you are doing Jaron.
First of all sir…the LEGEND! One of my musical heroes, Richard Smallwood! What more can be said about the maestro!? Job well done! Now…if you don’t call a text sir! SURELY!!! I was waiting for the praise break!! My GAWD!!!!
Sir…seeing this blessed me so, so much!!! Not only are you breaking down the musicality and various vocal techniques that are used in the songs that you review, but you are ultimately sharing the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ…through the vehicle of music, which was created by God Himself!! I commend you for this! Please keep up the excellent work! I pray that many more lives would continue to be reached by God’s love through watching your content!🙏🏾🙏🏾
That whole live recording of that album/cd/video/service was amazing! You can’t help for going in when you hear it. Sir Richard Smallwood & Vision. They don’t come like this anymore. ❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorites along with Total Praise. I love Maurette btw. Love this break down ❤
She came to my church, tore us up! I still remember that night!!!
Yes Total Praise is amazing
You better preach this song pastor Jeron!!! 🙌🏾
This stays in my rotation this entire double CD yes the double CD ..lol ...yes I'm old but I love this album !! Especially this song !!
And don't u EVER stop!!! Thank God for your vulnerability, testimony & witness!!! Love you, my brother!!!💖
It’s a good thing that you didn’t go to the praise break. We would have seen you shouting in this video. 😂

Calvary be havin me 🏃🏾♂️💨
Yes everytime! 😊
OMG!! I love me some Richard Smallwood! And I love me some you! So glad you did this one. Blessings on Blessings to you! Let the Lord use you! 💯❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎵🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾💝‼️
Me at 0.56 "Jaron ain't no way you not gon get happy"!!!! 💖😂💖🤣💖
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Jaron, Don't apologize or explain for getting "happy"... we get it..we understand, we're right there with you! ❤
Jaron, I love when you end the video with a praise! Hallelujah!
I remember when we did The Blood concert at United Baptist Church and Pastor DeAna Wansley sung the lead on this❤. I could barely sing I was so messed up
Shoutin now! Lord I thank youuuuu😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Jaron, I am balling my eyes out right now. Yes God! Great review as always. They def take us on a journey through what happened. Almost like a story told through the ages via dramatic song. They definitely paint a picture for you as well as convey the tone of the atmosphere.
A classic gospel bop!!!❤
The chord progressions here are beyond next level. AND the bombast and drama
Thank you for analysing this song!!!
I really hope you do Kirk franklins dont cry!
Yes indeed 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ooooh great one!
About the 4th "I Thank God for Calvary" Got Me!!
Man u bad! I have learned so much from you. May God grant you your heart's desire and bless your family. I love the way you broke down the other Calvary This one was awesome too 😊 Bless u . Bro
Great Reaction Richard Smallwood “ Thank You” is a good one as well. Also Karen Clark Shear performance of “Take It By Force” at Azusa.
Now see…. you tried it! Lol! 🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾🏃🏾♂️
I never noticed how bluesy all the leads are. Like they are blues women.
How Richard Smallwood mixes classical chorale composition, gospel lyrics and message with bluesy voices (specifically in this song) is so amazing.
I love Richard and his choir. Love!
The build up is just so inviting and you know it’s good when the song starts back up and doesn’t just end. These songs tell you a story. 🙌🏾🙌🏾💜
Excellent analysis!!! I love your work! ❤ You have a great voice. Please do more gospel songs.😊Chicago Mass Choir is one of my favorite.
Yesssuh! This song gets me every time! 😢❤😊 Thank you Lordvfor going to Calvary for me.
My God, you are more than a music teacher. You are minister working within your gifts....and we are blessed and uplifted because of that. Thank you for analyzing this song, but even more thanks for allowing the spirit of God to use to minister in this moment. May you works ever succeed because you always put HIM first. Thank you.
I've been BLESSED by Richard Smallwood's ministry for decades. The anointing on his music is deep and powerful. "Calvary" is an example of this power. Calvary, or "Golgotha" which means “Place of the SKULL” (Matt. 27:33) is where Jesus crushed the head (SKULL) of the serpent, just like God said Jesus would in Genesis 3:15. Jesus' suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension was our victory over death. That's why i LOVE when Richard Smallwood follows up "Calvary" with a SHOUT by saying, "But the story doesn't end there, because on the third day, HE GOT UP"!!!!! Then Charisse Nelson McIntosh asks the most important question, so we don't forget who was the One who paid the price for us..."What's His Name? "JESUS". Thank you Sister Legrair for this amazing education on the vocal techniques of Vision. There is a lot to unpack and explain in this masterpiece. May God bless you and your ministry for His Glory!!!
This song is definitely one of my favorites! You were into it as soon as that piano started, love it😂🙏🏾
Jared you better sing😅. That head shake that's that Holy Ghost tap.
Jaron have you ever analyzed the performance of Tamela Mann singing, “Change Me”
I would Love to here what you have to say about that performance. Thank you
i second this.
Heron you are so talented and brilliant. I celebrate with you. You are so anointed.
Praise you Lord!🙌🏽
Totally Awesome! Praise God
I love you for doing this 🥹my childhood 🙏🏾 this was in point 👏🏾👏🏾
Love the ending of your videos! You had me ready to run around my living room 🏃🏾♀️🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes he did!
It's the fact his head was shaking before the song even started playing 😂 it already felt good to him in the spirit ❤
Praise Jesus! And what an amazing vocal representation of that awful/amazing day. Whew! Got me in my feelings for sure!
I'm thankful for Calvary! Thank you God!!!!
From that first chord structure, I got happy! And then Maurette came thruuuuu whewwwww
Yeeeessss!!! Grew up hearing my adopted Mama singing this around Resurrection week. The tears 😭😭😭
I absolutely love the original Calvary recorded by The Smallwood singers on the 1987 Textures album … but this rendition is gut wrenching …… great work Jaron!!!!!!
The video hasn't even started. I just heard the preview and was ready to shout.
Jaron: "I'm not gon' get happy."
Also Jaron: "immediately gets happy"
You pick the best singers, groups.Go Head..Get Happy if you Want To!! Love you Jeron! And btw a whole Vocal Beast yourself...i want to hear You sing more!!!!

Preach young man 💯
You betta Preach on this analysis!!! 🙌🙌
I didn't think you was going to make it through the song lol!!!!!
You preaching here at the end Hallelujah!!!!!🙌🏾
I’m so glad you covered this! I suggested it about a year ago but knew we were no where near Easter. Loved this breakdown on another Smallwood genius piece.
I love Richard Smallwood and have sung his songs in an ensemble I was with. I love your commentary. I'm so glad I've found your channel. I so wish I could study with you but I no longer live in the US. This was a blessing!!! 🙏🏽
🗣️🗣️🗣️SING JARON!!!!!!
Love Richard and all his gifts
My God...awesome!
A classic!!! 🔥💙
Surely he died on Calvary for you and me❤❤❤❤that’s love!❤❤❤❤
What a breakdown and interpretation and the preaching, Sir. The Easter anthem. Thanks.
Great Job Bro. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💞🥰🎵
Preach sir!
Imma be good...IMMA be good....
Me: Nope, we tag teamin this thang!! ✝️ 🙏
Praise the Lord ! Thank you for reminding and breaking down how lovely this song is!
All of them can sing! But I've always loved Maurette Clark tone. Can you do Richard Smallwood & Vision. Angels Watching Over Me? This was when Maurette Clark first began with Richard Smallwood & Vision. Thank you for all that you do here on your page. Another good one to do would be R & B singer Kehlani on her song A piece of Mind. She first began on America's Got Talent. But she lost.
This song is a beast! I'm happy to hear your analysis. So I'm guessing He Decided to Die is on the list for this series?
Need to do a reaction to Le'Andria Johnsons' version of this song. It's amazing!!!👏🏿
Youre the only person I want preachin and takin me to church
What an awesome ministry.. the music and your analysis. Between Richard Smallwood and Edwin & Walter Hawkins.. my favorites. I’m sure as I look through your presentations I will find the Hawkins music. I enjoyed, loved, and was blessed by this (and Psalms 8) I just watched. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m going to be sharing. BTW, I hope you meet Richard Smallwood one day ( if you haven’t already) Peace and blessings to you and your family.
I l-o-v-e your praise!!!!!!!!!!! And you are NOT alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You betta preach!!!
