  • HISTORY of BARBERSHOP Compiled by David Wright
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP compiled by David Wright Lesson 8: GUARDIANSHIP Judging reform. The next decade would see a change of judging systems that would slow the evolution of the style, so that change in the this era would be far less profound than in the previous. At the same time, the barbershop sound continued to undergo refinement. A disqualification at International. At the Los Angeles contest a quartet called the Potomachords was disqualified on Arrangement for the song "This Is All I Ask." The implied harmonic content of this song was not considered to be in the barbershop style. Such disqualifications were rare at the time, and the situation was not handled well. The announcement was made from the stage, following their performance: "The Potomochords have been disqualified for a flagrant violation of the barbershop style." Later Arrangement Category Specialist Sam Stahl apologized for this in the Harmonizer. I do not know of any other disqualification at an International Contest. The Executive Committee subsequently recommended to the C & J Committee that henceforth disqualifications should not be announced from stage, but rather, simply be noted on the score sheet. This became the practice, and remains in place today. (In 1993 the term “forfeiture” replaced “disqualification”.) Grundy writes “Each Time I Fall In Love”. At one time, Lyle Pilcher, who was a good friend of S. K. Grundy's, had told the Sundowners to write to Grundy for music. This was at about the time Grundy was moving to California to work for Lawrence Welk, and he never answered. In 1967 at the Los Angeles Convention, Lyle encountered Grundy and jokingly reminded him that he had never responded to the Sundowners' request.

  • Tags for Women's Voices
    ClassicClassic TagsTags for women’s voices Compiled by David Wright Assisted by Jim Bagby, Kevin Keller, and David Krause PREFACE Barbershop tag singing is surely one of the finest traditions arising from vocal harmony. A tag is a short passage consisting of an arrangement’s ending, or coda, which is taught and sung in sessions of informal chord- ringing. The tag allows four singers to quickly blend their voices in a few seconds of blissful harmony without the burden of learning an entire song. This manual is an anthology dedicated to the perpetuation of this practice. We have endeavored to chronicle the tag-singing of today and yesterday by collecting the “classic” tags—those which have become lore by virtue of having been repeated and passed along from harmonizer to harmonizer. Most of these tags originated within the barbershop community, but a few from neighboring vocal styles have been embraced by barbershoppers and are therefore included as well. It should be noted that some of the tags contain chords which are not accepted in a barbershop contest. We have simply recorded the tags the way they are usually sung, with no editorial “corrections”. An effort was made to determine the origin of each tag, but this proved to be an impossible task. The source of many of these little gems seems lost in the murky past, perhaps never to be ascertained. When possible we have identified the tag’s arranger and an approximate date of origin; if the tag was popularized by a particular performer, we have so indicated. The tags appear in no particular order, and no consistent method was applied in labeling them.

We sing for the whole ship! Don’t miss out! Reserve your spot now: CruisenSing.com • 855-627-8473 WELCOME TO I’m thrilled that you can join us for what I believe will be remembered as one of several milestone conventions in our history! Our inauspicious start began 80 years ago as an inward-facing group of men who gathered to sing for their own personal enjoyment. We grew over the next two decades but only began outreach efforts to impact lives other than our own in 1959, when we established Harmony Foundation. We continued to focus our charitable efforts externally by supporting therapy for autistic youth until the late 1990s, and only began our “modern” journey circa 2003 with Harmony Foundation supporting Society singing programs such as the program that has grown into the wildly successful Youth Chorus Festival, noted for facilitating truly intergenerational singing. Fast forward to 2017, when more than two years of member feedback and strategic planning efforts culminated in the announcement of our new vision, “Everyone in Harmony.” Since adopting the Everyone in Harmony vision, the Society Board and Harmony Hall staff have been working diligently to design and begin implementation of programs aligned to the vision.

  • HISTORY of BARBERSHOP Compiled by David Wright
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP compiled by David Wright Lesson 7: REFINEMENT Other styles of vocal harmony. The "studio" style, a first cousin of the modern barbershop style, was developing under the influence of Gene Puerling, whose 50's group, the Hi Los, had set the pace. Puerling continued to sing and arrange in this style, with the group Singers Unlimited. This music has always held the fascination of barbershoppers because of its a capella style and its emphasis on tuning and good vocal production. Another group that has provided us with some fine harmony is the British concert group, the King's Singers. The gospel style became more sophisticated, and eventually both the white and black quartets were largely displaced by solo singing and other vocal styles which depend heavily on instrumentation. Here are some samplings of fairly recent white and black quartets. S. K. Grundy. Many of the Confederates' most memorable songs were arranged by the man from Springfield, Missouri, S. K. Grundy, one of our all time greats. He directed the orchestra of a Baptist College in Springfield, Missouri. He wrote lots of barbershop arrangements, many of which were considered daring, audacious, and unstylistic. They contained many unusual twists. One of Grundy's masterpieces was "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square," which he arranged for the Confederates, and revived some twenty-five years later by the Vocal Majority. In hindsight, many feel that Grundy was ahead of his time. Those who heard his work didn't understand it and Grundy was written off as a "wild man." But he was a superb musician, and in the sixties he went to California to do vocal and instrumental arrangements for Lawrence Welk.
