    And, that was barbershop music! I'm glad that you liked it! :)

    It's all in four parts. However, it might sound like other notes are there too. That's called "ringing". Overtones are heard in addition to the actual notes that are being sung. Then, there's what's called difference tones. Those are overtones that are formed by overtones ringing with each other.

    In barbershop music, when a note is held for a really long time, that's called a "post". If a note is to be held for a really long time where people would normally need to take a breath, what we do is to "stagger" the note between singers so that it appears that the note is being held for as long as it is.

    That particular group does the staggering of breathing so that it appears to be seamless!

    I direct the men's barbershop chorus that's on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River in the Iowa - Illinois Quad Cities Area.

    That's awesome Clough... thanks for all that info... I will go home and research some other barbershop choirs too... they sound cool... and yes, that group do the staggering so well... they also were very coordinated with their steps... Lol!

    You should record some of your performances and post them up on YouTube so we can hear your chorus... :)

    Well, if we get really good recording equipment, we just might do that! We do have video recordings, but I don't think that we have one that would be just right for a YouTube one just yet... Some of the video recordings are pretty good! But, in the videos are images of other people who we would need to get permission from for them to be in the video if it were to be broadcast anywhere. That would be a near impossible task to get all of the permissions.

    If I can, I'll be posting some of our songs, in audio, on our chorus website.

    Do you play an instrument or sing?

    Sounds good Clough...

    Yes, I do play the guitar and I sang a Rascal Flatts song at my wedding, to my wife, but nothing great... ;)

    Do you read music that's on a staff to play the guitar?

    Nope... I usually get a print out of the chords and if I'm not used to the song, I'll use a music stand, but if I know the song, I'll memorize it and just play it by myself, with looking at chords or anything.

    Would you like to learn how to read music on a staff? If you learn how to do that, you'll be able to play a lot more songs as well as pieces.

    I could teach you on a separate thread on this site! If you find the threads about writing a song, you'll see how that can be done!
