POPULARITY
Get your lipstick on...it's time to dance!! Baritone month continues on The Let's Talk Barbershop Podcast with THE Jonny Moroni of Vocal Spectrum! Hey please rate the show on the Apple App for me.
Who would have thought that a poem set to the tune "Greensleeves" (A Newe Northen Dittye of ye Ladye Greene Sleves) would become one of the most popular Christmas hymns? What is with all of the rhetorical questions anyway? In this episode, we revisit the question of singing angels (with more prooftexts). We also dig into the gifts brought the infant Christ (frankincense, gold, myrrh) to find Old Testament symbols. Lyrics: What Child is this who laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping, Whom angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing! Haste, haste to bring Him laud, the babe, the son of Mary! So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh; come peasant, King to own Him; The King of kings salvation brings; let loving hearts enthrone Him Raise, raise a a song on high! The virgin sings her lullaby Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary! Nails, spears shall pierce Him through; the cross He bore for me, for you! Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe, the son of Mary!

Giving faith a fighting chance is the best way to describe this episode. Let the melodious voices of these A Cappella groups: Vocal Spectrum, Take 6, In One Acord, Bobby McFerrin, Soundstage, Gaither Vocal Band, King's Heralds, Afro Blue, BYU Noteworthy, Aeolians, Committed, Naturally 7, and the Fairfield Four. ENJOY!!!
This episode is all about wandering around the international convention with a mic and seeing what we got. Turns out we got a couple of interviews, a bunch of singing from Sing With The Champs (ok, mostly Vocal Spectrum) and some of the thoughts about what was happening as the happenings were happening. We hope this gives you some sense of the madness that is a BHS International.
