  • Let Freedom Ring!
    Summer 2010 Let Freedom Ring! Barbershopping in Philly by Craig Rigg [The following report is a personal observation and does not reflect the views of the Society or the Illinois District. With luck we’ll face only a few lawsuits.] There’s this moment in the recent barbershop documentary Amer- ican Harmony. Jeff Oxley looks at a monitor as Vocal Spectrum appears on stage during the 2006 quartet contest, singing “Cruella DeVille.” He turns and shakes his head, saying, “The So- ciety’s changing, man.” His sentiments pretty much sum up what the 2010 International Convention and Con- tests at Philadelphia was all about. There’s been a changing of the guard. First, let's take the quartet contest. By now, everybody knows that Storm Front finally got the gold (after much cajoling and trash talk). They are the first comedy oriented quartet since FRED to achieve the pinnacle of quartetting. There’s no doubt these guys can sing; they’re Singing scores put them in second place, bested only by Old School (with Illinois's own Joe Krones at bass). In fact, Old School led after the semi-finals by only 17 points, and OS had won each of the first two rounds. All they had to do was maintain their lead and the gold was theirs. Not to be (a phrase you'll hear again later.) So what did Storm Front do that made the difference? Well, a combination of factors proba- bly did it. First, SF staged one heck of an innovative final set. Their first song, with a bit of mock- ing of Old School and up-and-coming Ringmasters from Sweden, lamented their struggle to reach the top.

  • MINDSET of a SUCCESSFUL QUARTETTER Barbershop Parts Study - Playlist Observations
    MINDSET OF A SUCCESSFUL QUARTETTER Barbershop Parts Study - Playlist Observations Click here: "Parts Study" Spotify Playlist Quartet Information & Listen Fors 1) “After Today” - Remake of the Acoustix version (BHS champs early 90’s.) • Attention to coming in and out of unison, solos and vocal gymnastics in all parts. • Smoothness with which parts hand off the melody to one another, beginning with a very melodic bass. • Color of the releases in all singers, along with a very consistent lift that does not sound contrived at all. • Vocal flexibility - These are all gals in their mid to late 50’s…all parts. While you can hear the maturity (and the benefit of having that experience), you can also hear a vibrance that comes only with vocal freedom. 2) “If I Were a Bell” • Flexibility and lightness (an ease with the vocal approach.) • Strong sprinkle of personality and FUN in it. • Notice the smoothness of the tenor and how she “tucks into” the chords and how she takes on the solo part more like a lead rather than an ensemble (as they all do in this quartet), which are very tightly voiced (notes close together to each other) • The chromatics around 1:40 are accurate and balanced well through all voice parts. The Buzz The • Again, the handoff of parts in shared melody is seamless. They ring, they buzz, hence their name. Listen for SAI Queens the chords to sound rich and full. Conventions in barbershop like bell chords, lead-ins, echoes, etc. are handled with aplomb and consistency. 3) “Back in Business” • This quartet is well-versed in all aspects of our craft.

  • Issue of the Harmonizer
    From Director Tom: Men and Friends of the BCC, Thank you for your nice work on our performance at Lockwood. Thanks to 36+ of you for taking the time to come and sing. It does my heart good. I thought we sang well for a very appreciative audience. It was good to have several quartets. Can we have even more than five quartets and maybe some new faces? Thank you also for the nice time at our favorite watering hole. It was nice to be able to eat with you and not have to worry about teaching the next a.m. Let's keep up the good work! From Prez Jack: Our August 21 performance at Bowers’ School Farm was a result of the “Bob Wallace Four” serenading two ladies during the ride in the parking bus from Log Cabin Days. It amazes me how and where the invitations come to sing at the various events that we do. The power of music is amazing. I continue to be impressed by the relaxed manner that the Big Chief Chorus presents itself. You are quite a likeable bunch. Remember that you are a disciplined chorus with all eyes on the director, but being humble enough to mingle with your audience following the performance. Vol. 11, No. 4 (#124) August 1, 2011 AROUND THE PATCH The Big Chief Chorus forewent its practice on Tuesday night, July 12, for an enjoyable performance for forty residents and staff at Lockwood of Summertime is for loafing, right? Well, not for the Big Chief Chorus! We Waterford .

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.
