You have to have some incredible mind that thinks in unthinkable harmony to do this.

Enough for Him, whom cherubim Worship night and day, A breastful of milk And a mangerful of hay; Enough for Him, whom angels Fall down before, The ox and ass and camel Which adore. Angels and archangels May have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air, But only His mother In her maiden bliss, Worshipped the Beloved With a kiss. What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb, If I were a wise man I would do my part, Yet what I can I give Him, Give my heart.

Ever since I was startled and very soon began to see a new language in music arising. Now I am trying to get into it. Emotionally it is quite easy, means, the system works. But it will take me the rest of my life to sit on the piano or the guitar and play along his songs like I do with the Beatles, Pink Floyd or Sting. Ok. Yes showed me my limits.

Jacob, what you're doing is extraordinary. I chose this particular video to comment on because I think this is the finest thing you've done to this point, in my opinion. (Perhaps this is just one of your works that has struck me the most on an emotional level.) This is absolutely next level. The attention to detail is just absolutely unreal.

4:15 The exact moment Jacob Collier would write musical history

A christmas song with chords so spicy that you'll still need to wear shorts in December.

4:20 Microtonal Key Change for anyone wondering

The amount of effort put into this must of been unimaginable

4:25 hits me like a train!

I can't even process this. It is complex beauty wrapped up in alien talent. No words do it justice man. Thanks so much!

One of the things I love about Jason Collier, and that makes me feel happy when I see his videos and music- is that he is so OBVIOUSLY a product of his mother’s immense love and dedication, in ways that amaze, humble, and surprise me.

Do a Christmas album... PLEASE!

@Jared Halley Have you ever tried G 1/2 sharp modulation ?

Hey Jacob! Will you write some music for a choir? Having 10 of your own voice is a cool sound - but imagine a rich symphony of voices singing what you have written! I think it would sound incredible

Fidmark1 Well, we have June Lee's transcription, that's a start. But good luck to that choir to accurately modulate to microtonal keys (or other tuning stansards, depends on how you want to view it), descend down in tunings, 2Hz at a time, and sing in Just intonation.

Maybe no choir could sing something Jacob has arranged for multitracking, but Jacob has such an outstanding understanding of harmony and voice leading, that he could certainly arrange something that is singable by a brilliant choir. I would love to see that, so much. A choir of different voices is a different animal to a multitrack of the same voice, and he could do amazing things with it, I'm sure.

Our Choir has just recently started rehearsing a vocal adaptation of Jacob's "Danny Boy" version. I'm already excited as to what kind of results this'll yield.

there are no words to describe this guys level of musical knowledge. he’s simply capable of things nobody else can understand.

Just when I thought I had perfect pitch this song comes out and makes me think different. At first I heard the key as Ab but then I realized it was G half sharp. This man’s perfect pitch is at another level.

Those harmonies!

If you liked Jacob's juicy microtonal harmonies, check out "Toward the Continuum" by Dolores Catherino. There's an unbelievably colorful world beyond the twelve tones.

THE KEY CHANGE SOUNDS SO BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL!!

I think this video will go down as one of the most important moments in music history. Nothing like modulating from e major to g half sharp major has ever been attempted. Spectacular. It is my sincerest belief that Jacob is the greatest musical mind of the 21st century.

That's not true at all, many composers have been doing this and things much more revolutionary than this for over 100 years now. This is just an arrangement of a famous christmas carol with literally 1 modulation of a quarter tone...

I personally agree with Dylan Decker on this one even if Jacob Collier isn't the first musician to attempt microtonalism he's definitely made it more popular to a large group of people and he clearly understands harmony on a much deeper level than most people.

I listened to this sitting still, with my eyes closed. This kind of music helps paint a visual landscape, I can see a whole world behind my eyes. Thank you for the beautiful music Jacob.

I must have watching and listened to this at least 100 times by now, and it's still magical every time. Thank you Jacob!

That is the most winter wind-like sound I've ever heard come from a human!

Made me cry on the high speed train from Madrid to Barcelona. Beautiful work, Jacob

The music is absolutely amazing, but the expressions on his face as he goes through the song makes it feel even more personal. I also love how his head seems to ding back and forth like a bell. He looks so happy.

What?! Why am I discovering this just now... This is insane, and to think that if no one told me what he was doing at 4:15, I would have completely missed how genius this is

Undeniably one of the prettiest sounding things I’ve ever heard

How does this opus only have 24700 views!!! This feels like potentially bringing humankind one step further in evolution!!

whew. the chording is just ethereal throughout. I'm floored

This is phenomenal and the harmonies are so mesmerising!!! Jacob Collier, you are a one man choir. More please!

Your voice and arrangement skills continue to astound me... those huge chords are so beautiful.

Yes, I believe our church choir will be singing this arrangement at Midnight mass next year...

Man I’ve been looking for this feeling I always got when I was younger when it was Christmas time with frosty on the tv drinking hot cocoa and that pure happiness and bliss and this somehow just captures that feeling I haven’t gotten in years

that modulation to g half sharp will never not give me chills

It's really difficult to listen to this without smiling. Sometimes we forget about the complete joy that the most talented amongst us can bring. Thank you Jacob.
