My quartet Rendezvous had the pleasure of recording a 7 song EP in October of 2009 here in Toronto. My older sister Sarah, a Ryerson University media student, was able to secure us some studio time as well as coordinate and co-produce the session along with myself.
"Go the Distance" is from Disney's "Hercules" and was written by Alan Menken. It was adapted for barbershop by Aaron Dale and made famous by the quartet "Vocal Spectrum". Danny transcribed the recording in the winter of 2008 and it has become a crowd favourite at our shows!
Bass : Calvin Frank (mrcalvinfrank)
Baritone : Andrew Kesler (andrewkesler)
Lead : Brodie Cuff (brodiecuff)
Tenor : Danny Fong (daniscool99)
Working in the booth along with my sister was our good friend and amazing drummer Tristan Henderson (check him out in my videos of "Nardis" and "In the Beginning"). Tristan engineered the session and did most of the mixing along with myself. The final mixes of all the tunes were completed in early February and I've been slowly working away on the videos when i've had time.
If you're interested in getting your hands on mp3s of our work, feel free to send me a private message and I'll get back to you!
Equipment used:
Blue Bottle (Danny), Neumann TLM 103 (Brodie), Neumann TLM 49 (Calvin), Blue Berry (Andrew)
NOT SHOWN: 2 Apex 435's placed in opposite room corners for Stereo effect, and a large diaphragm condenser mic placed high up in the center of the room. Note: The room was TERRIBLE for barbershop singing, which was a bit of a drag, but we did it anyways.
Recorded and mixed on Protools 8. Video shot with some random nice camera (it was dark in the room so I lightened it so it looks kinda grainy). Video edited with Final Cut Pro. NO PITCH CORRECTION OF ANY KIND USED! What you're seeing is what you're hearing. EQ, Compression, Limiting, Reverbs (long and short) and other such plug-ins used, as well as volume automation.
Don't forget to rate and subscribe and comment and all that. We'd really appreciate if you'd share this with your friends and family because we don't make any money doing this and it takes lots of work, so getting some extra exposure helps out a lot!
Thanks, and enjoy! - Hudba
Now i find myself still listening to this cover 11 years later... Anybody with me?
same!!!!
100%
12 years!
I'm here.
You should check out BYU Vocal Point’s version
I like how the baritone is really expressive with his eyebrows. That's so entertaining.
MODMONTECARLO13 he's so.cute!
The tenor held that last note for 20 seconds. That's incredible!
So, I convinced that the tenor in the green shirt has at least 3 lungs because he held that note forever.... thumbs up :-)

Holy crap, tell me In not the only one to notice that half minute last note!! great job tenor. and excellent job to the group as a whole.
+Alex Saunders I truly was waiting for him to faint. LOL
+Alex - You are right! I have not heard that kind of resonance since my dad's barbershop quartet performances! And, he sang with some of the Buffalo Bills. Well done!
+Neil Fauerbach listen to vocal spectrum's version it's way better and the original
It’s actually the lead part believe it or not! My quartet has a copy of the original sheet music and it’s on the lead part which made our lead almost faint when he saw it lol. In this video the lead and tenor must of switched parts.
Connor Warnock vocal spectrum switches tenor and lead too!
crap that tenor held that note for like 10 years hard to do. congrats to all of you
23 seconds
Insane
Anna Lanza You should check out tenor of Artistic License. He held a 55 seconds post at international.
Tim Waurick is the original guy who can post like that in this song. I’ve heard him go over a minute
23secs sustain for the tenor on the last part,,.pure chest..wow
Thanks for listening Jessie! This is a pretty old video for us (recorded over 3 years ago) but it seems that this song is quite the popular one. Nice to meet a fellow Canadian!
Still my favorite arrangement of this amazing song.
I find it funny that the Tenor sang this with other people AND even did his own version. Just shows how much talent he has :) of course the others are good too! Danny though, went the extra mile, or may I say...HAHA "The Distance"
I tried to hold the note with the tenor...and I may have almost passed out. Props to you, man!!
FINALLY. Someone finally sang that really long last note and has appeased my longing to hear someone else pull it off 😭
14 years later, still here!
Holy shit the guy in light green shirt on the far left held his breath for 30 seconds towards the end of the song. Legend!!
This makes me unspeakably happy and I’m sharing it with EVERYONE.
This is the best cover ever. I've been listening to this song since I found it, for several years. Thank you for the beautiful music.
Bilbo Baggins same, I come back to this regularly, it’s so pleasing to the ears
Still one of my favorite CZcams video of All Time! (Absofreakinglutely Serious!!!)
😎😎😎😎😎
The "tenor" held that note for 23 seconds... Shit man!
AWESOME COVER!!
Holy crap that tenor with the long note at the end❤️❤️❤️
Best version of this song 11 years later
still slaps 14 years later
The baritone is sooo cute! They are all talented nice one! ;)
Yooooooooooooooooooo. Mad props. Wish my choir program could've afforded the sheet music so we could've done it. Chills... bless
that low tone voice just makes me go nuts., thought its hard to hit high pitch but its quite exhausting to get to that low pitch as well., thumbs up., like the rendition much.., :D
"I will please my God, I can go the distance!"
AMEN
I had to bookmark this video. Definitely need to hear it every once in a while.
Love it.
Of all the acapella music I listen to this is hands down the best. Ol boy on the left has the lung capacity to swim to the bottom of the ocean. I hate that it's over a decade old they deserve the same recognition as pentatonix home free and voctive.
*Stands and applauds at computer screen*
I did exactly that.
WOW. The resonance is alot better when it's more than just danny singing all the parts. Not that danny is a bad singer or even has a strange timbre when in his extended range. The overtones just stack up so much nicer when you have a bass who is a bass. That and brodie has an amazing lead voice. Loud and smooth. Plus you guys singing together can fine-tune your timbre so that the tones stack well.
Overall this was probably the best I have heard you guys sound. EXCELLENT job.
LOVE IT !
