I've lately been on a kick enjoying acapella music renditions of traditionally music with accompaniment..... One of the best at this, IMHO, is a band from here near me in Arlington Texas.... Totally amazing, to me at least, the beautiful music they can make with nothing but their own bodies..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqDfLunw_BUThat's one of my favorites...... Another, in a totally different vein, but still all sounds made by the human body that just blows me away (And admittedly, the blue chick is kinda hawt!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MteSlpxCpoAnyway.... just been on this musical kick lately, figured I'd share..... |

One more from them that gives me chills... Once again, only sounds from the human body in this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdVjVtpr55M |

I always loved to sing. Had a school auditorium solo (soprano) in elementary. Sang in glee club (concert, men's and madrigal), baritone and second tenor, and state competitions, but never church choir. Sadly, my voice is long ago shot.
I really enjoy any kind of pure acapella singing, especially in groups (barbershop not so much). But ever since Whitney Houston started the super tremulo wild voice dynamics that has completely taken over nearly all commercial voice, I still prefer pure plain beautiful voices like in a traditional choir.

Another I'm really enjoying.... (Although you can argue that using a megaphone negates the "Only the sounds of the human body" prerequisite, but still danged impressive!) https://youtu.be/ojRj2JK5oCI |

Nice, Serk. Talented group for sure. There has been a proliferation of music posts on You Tube by both known and previously unknown artists especially this past year with folks not able to get out to venues to perform. That has been one of the "glass half full " ingredients for me over this time, for sure.
Sounds of Silence is one of the best songs ever written....these young folks' version is outstanding!

I've always loved to sing too. Elementry school - the kids in our family were known to "carry the class" on the school Christmas presentation. 7th grade (my voice hadn't changed yet) - everybody (and most of them were in highschool) was amazed that not only did I sing soprano still - but I sang First soprano (the really high stuff) for the musical show we did. Then 8th grade and the Great crash set in - I had no idea were my voice was going to go and what range I could comfortably sing - it took several years before I finally settled in to something I could rely on - medium tenor with a range down to medium baritone (I can't quite manage the lowest bass stuff). I still have about a 3 octave range, add another with falsetto. One of the few who can manage the Star Spangled Banner  (you all know how hard that is). |

I really do enjoy such music. Don't know much about it and can't carry a tune in a wheel barrow but, I know what I like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXpRxzmawjwRams |

I've been listening to the Pentatonix for some time now, great music. Another group I like is Home Free, here's a nice number...takes a moment to get to the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6_I_Kzb1HEI also have sung most of my life, my voice developed early. As a young man I had some lessons, it helped create a full 3 octave range. A couple years back was asked if I still had that big range and I answered in the affirmative except now you can't hear the lower 3 notes and the top 3 you don't want to hear. Got a good chuckle from the group but it's pretty much the truth these days. Did a lot of singing in school as a kid, in church along the path of whereever life took me, but today I just make a jouful noise...noise being the operative word some days.  |

The ability to sing well is a gift that should not be wasted. I was never blessed with a good singing voice, just a great mind.  |

Not acapella at al but I watched Lee Marvin in Monte Walsh the other night and Mama Cass was singing the title song? and I was reminded again of how crystal clear her voice was. And that she passed far too soon  RIDE SAFE. |

Oh my, what a voice and she's only ten? My girls were singers, alone and as a trio but only the middle one had a high soprano such as that but she was in high school. The younger one of the 3 went on to semi-pro work after college, sang with the St. Louis philharmonic, in New York...not sure which/what stage, West Point cathedral, a number of other venues. All had beautiful voices but this little gal at age 10 just blew me away.  |

I don't quite understand the traditional significance of this, but it seems to be getting the bride and groom ready for marriage.  Shoulda had them at my two weddings. (HAKA) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5_HmlSzpPo |

To each his own......... I can think of some sounds that usually aren't pleasant. I wasn't saying ALL sounds from the human body were beautiful, just that Pentatonix makes beautiful music using only sounds of the human body..... Thanks for that one.... As someone that's gone further than I should have with Autism, I really appreciate seeing the successes of my fellow Autists! Incredible! I don't quite understand the traditional significance of this, but it seems to be getting the bride and groom ready for marriage. Shoulda had them at my two weddings. (HAKA) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5_HmlSzpPoLOVE me some Haka! But being a proper Scotsman, LOVE the Scotch response to the Haka..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWa_lHc4grY |

I have done NOTHING to earn this honor, nothing to deserve it..... But when my time comes, if I could get a Haka with 1/10th of this one, I'd he honored going on to whatever the afterlife does or doesn't offer...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Qtc_zlGhc |
