Peter Hollens was my introduction to modern a cappella singing. His voice is exquisite. Through his duets, I have been led to Tim Foust & Avi Kaplan. My absolute favorite solo Peter Hollens performance is “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” Thanks for this reaction - I’m off to listen again to Peter & Tim duets of “Greensleeves” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” I grieved when Peter’s surgeries impacted his voice; but he has heroically fought back to again creat unforgettable music.

Same here! i listened to Rockapella way back when, but hadn't listened to any modern artists. And then a few years ago, while i was looking for Christmas music, "Mary did you know" popped up on my suggested play list. And I've been hooked ever since. This lead me to Home Free, Geoff, Ava, and many more. Loving it!

I love your analysis and I love the faces you make while your brain is analyzing everything you are hearing! I’m with you, I love dissonance! Thank you for the extraordinary effort you put into your analysis, it is much appreciated! As others have mentioned, Greensleeves with Peter and Tim is awesome! Have a great day!

Ooh, I just love this version. ❤🇬🇧

It feels really nice that Tim is singing "gently" , not forcing his lows ...until the final dragon breath . Peter did a masterful job on the highs and the layering. Thx a lot Sir, love love the analysis. ❤🙂

#TIMFOUST #PETERHOLLENS incredible!!

They used over 120 layers for this one 😵‍💫. I think many people believe Peter did all the high notes and Tim the lows, but both of them have massive ranges, so I'm sure they shared the burden. In this one it's difficult to tell, though, but, as you said, that's intentional and wanted for this type of song. The two did a cover of You've Got A Friend, another one with incredible harmonies and Peter sings in his lower register. And in Greensleeves it's sometimes difficult to tell who did what as well. Thanks for the reaction and analysis.

Actually almost every single part I did on this one because I had done it all by myself years prior and then I just added Tim to this version I do because I do recall that Tim might’ve sang the base part as we usually do in our collaborations, but also he might not have had time. I’d have to go open the session and checkin general, the backgrounds are 98% me the thing that made this truly special is Tim and his talent though

Love this! If you stare at Tim during that last note, the camera actually shakes. They weren’t even together with Peter in Oregon and Tim in the Cayman Islands at Hells Canyon (kid you not). I can definitely hear Tim sing high at certain times during this. I understand Peter said there were 120 tracks in this one. Good analysis as always!

I'm happy you've finally reacted to this classic with Peter and Tim. Geoff also did a version of this song that is excellent.

I didn’t know they were in different areas but I do see Grand Caymen but also could be lots of places behind Tim. I wouldn’t recognize Oregon from anything else. Love these two. A cadence - perfect description at that point.👍🏼

Love your analysis. The comment you made at 7:20 where you said "imagine hearing that in a dark cave or something. It rocks your body how percussive it is" (in reference to Tim's part) is right on track. It's my understanding that Tim actually recorded this inside a cave. The camera was mounted on a tripod, but his voice still made it vibrate so you can see the movement in the video. Gail L.

Hmmmm, I have to admit I struggled a bit with this. Not because it wasn't beautiful, because it was, but because it is so different from the music I am more familiar with. I'm not musically educated, and have always gravitated more towards rock/metal. To my untrained ear, this seems very, very organized, which I guess it would have to be with that many layers. I'm trying to expand my horizons, and there are groups I enjoy very much, like Home Free and Voice Play. But, I found myself drifting off by the end of this one. Gonna keep trying to learn more, though, because I have a feeling that it is my lack of understanding that is interfering with the way I enjoy this music. I've been hesitating to post this, because I don't want people to take it wrong. But then, one way to learn is to question, so here goes.

I can relate to your misgivings about this song. While I love Peter and Tim, I am not a huge fan of hearing 120 layers of voices - it is quite unsettling and in places it's overwhelming.

This is my favorite version of this song. The contrast in voices is beautiful. Peter in the higher tenor ranges & then paired with the true natural bass voice of Tim. And that last dragon's breath note is truly remarkable & how long he sustains it. Peter is a master at layering voices. I think this one is about 120 layers. Peter & Tim have collaborated on quite a few other songs & they are all beautiful. "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Greensleeves", "Fire & Rain", "Sunshine On My Shoulders", "Teach Your Children", "You Can Close Your Eyes", "And So It Goes", "Blackbird", "You've Got A Friend".

I was just thinking that we haven't heard a Peter Hollens song in a while, so today's video and r/a was quite a treat. Thanks to both of you.

I was waiting for you to get to this one, and it was everything I expected! I knew you'd like it! Thank you for your time!

It is amazing that they were on two different continents when they did this one. Love Peter Hollen's vocal range and of course Tim's bass just rattles bones. I always learn something new from you so thank you for that

I’m pretty sure I make some of the same faces you do when listening to them! 😂 Blessings from your ladies barbershop friend!!

I love anything LOTR - read all of the books in the 1970's - and the music and languages are one of the most amazing things brought to life in the movies. It's terrific.

When i was young, I sang just for the joy of it. Didn't know much about chords, or basically anything to do with music theory. When I started to really get interested in it and wanted to learn a lot more about it, life informed me of bigger priorities. Family came first, a wife and three sons, a great job which I had a passion for, and still do, and other duties as assigned or accepted. Then i found some great instructors on KZread. First it was Rick Beato, then Elizabeth Zhatoff, and just recently you. In this video, you pointed out some many intrinsic wonders I would just have not heard, especially how the chords leave a trail of wonder, great skill in arranging them, and the performance which made them real. I love discord. Then there is you helping me hear and see, through the talents afforded you and the skills you have gatnered, hidden beauty in this song. Thank you so much.

Okay and also, I noticed one more thing about your reactions, I had noticed it before but I guess never really fell in my conscience self. Basically your memory is either insane, or you go back to check on things that sound familiar to "something else". For example when you hear some notes and say "Oh this is like that one song from Voiceplay", or "Uh this reminds me of Pentatonix on that other Christmas song", "Oh this configuration of notes from "Black is the color of my true love's hair" is probably what they used here". Remarkable. The fact that you remember with name of group, name of song, and section is just insane. Your memory, at least sound memory, is incredible. I mean I notice those things when you mention them and I make the relation, but would have never noticed on my own unless a song is pretty much a copy of another. Crazy insane shit my friend!

I love this song- the whole soundtrack of all the movies. I have been an avid fan of J.R.R Tolkien since I was in high school. I read almost all of his books and couldn't imagine someone making these movies come to life .They differ a bit( sometimes a lot!) from the books, I never thought it was possible to make versions in films in a way that was in essence a good representation of the books. Peter Jackson made The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy so well. The choice of music, and the amazing score by Howard Shore and the great casting-but I digress. This particular song is one of my favourite versions of it. I also like The Wellermen’s version also. (an all bass group) Peter Hollens is awesome. Were you an Elf singer??? Lol I could see that.

What was the reason someone called you Elven? In what capacity did you work on the Hobbit? That intrigues me! My family and others have called me a Pixie , even one of my doctor's.

This is one of the most dense section of harmonies I've ever heard from Peter, and Tim's growl at the end is one of the most bizarre sounding, yet fitting endings. If you want some proper filth from Peter, go back to where I first was introduced to Peter: Poor Wayfaring Stranger with the Swingle Singers, from 13 years ago. Some crazy key changes and chord progressions.

I thought Richard Armitage & the other guys did a great job in the movies, but I love this version. Great reaction, mate. Their version of Greensleeves is amazing.

Didn't realize Peter Hollens had done a version of the song without Tim Foust - I'll have to take a look at that. Geoff Castellucci also has a version of this song on his solo channel - in fact, it's the most viewed video on his channel!

Peter Hollens is a master at arranging and layering. He is amazing. Might be my second favorite artist after Pentatonix. Peter released an entire CD of Lord of the Rings music. It is hauntingly beautiful. I think his version of 'Into the West' is better than the Annie Lennox version that won the Oscar for best song when it came out for Return of the King. That low note at the end is just crazy. Tim calls it Dragon Breath. Kind of appropriate for The Hobbit.

Geoff Castelucci made a cover of this same song on his solo channel. Like this one, it is spectacular!

At the Very end the last 20 seconds. IF you watch Tim's shoulders you will see them Vibrate from the Power of his base shacking the camera.

The Weathermen do an AMAZING cover of this song.

Peter had issues with his voice and had surgery over a year ago. He was not able to sing for a long time, and probably will never be able to sing the same way again. I would be curious to hear your thoughts on his voice now and how it sounds different. He released a cover of Sailboat a couple of weeks ago, and he and his wife did Pure Imagination with the Hound + Fox a few months ago. Also, putting in a plug for Hound +Fox, because they are amazing and I would love to hear your thoughts on them.

I do not have any proof of this, but that g# near the end sounded as if it may have been his wife Evynne. She is an amazing singer as well. Check out Evynne Hollens if you ever get the time.

The interpretation from the movie is nice but I much prefer the version with more verses used as sung by Clamavi de Profundis. by the way my ears keep wanting to hear a musical piece from one of the Indiana Jones movies, The Grail Theme from the last Crusade, whenever you play the piano

You should listen to their version of Greensleves!

Hi Sir Hairless, have you ever reacted to the group/composers here on KZread, Clamavi de Profundis? They do a lot of Tolkien poems set to music, movie covers and original compositions for his poems and songs that were not in the movies. They have a cool version of Diggy Diggy Hole.
