Richard Smallwood is a musical genius. His arrangements incorporates just about all genres in one song. Amazing

Richard and Vision ARE the standard. THE standard! This arrangement of the Spiritual 'Calvary' is a testament to God's love and our ancestors ability to put it to words and melody. The four part Chorale is one the most intricate, and beautiful voice leading examples that I have seen written on paper. Very Bach-esque. Richard's Howard University (School of Music at the time) training comes through quite clearly. It also sets Vision apart. Going from full out Hawkins to the 1971 Howard University Concert Choir under Warner Lawson and Evelyn White, tonally, is very hard to do. THIS is why you go to school for music. You don't have to stay in the classical realm but USE the training to set yourself apart.

Most challenging song I have ever been asked to perform.

You MUST do Kirk Franklin's "Don't Cry" for Easter! Richard Smallwood was on the piano for that song.

I didn't know this was going to be a sermonic selection, then the word was going to go forth! PREACH PREACHER!

This man is one of the most iconic songwriters/composers in the gospel arena. I go in every time I hear a Richard Smallwood song.

The last lead was the original lead from when they sang this on the Textures album with the Smallwood Singers. Her voice has the perfect texture for this song.

You feel this song before they even start singing! Whew

I remember the first time I heard this song when I was a kid… I knew that it was special .. and to this day..this song still sends me😩‼️😬

Thank you, Thank you Because Richard Smallwood and Vision don't get the flowers he deserves

I also LOVE how the choir goes from harmony to single voice, them back to harmony. This is genius composing

I love this song and Jarons analysis. If I’m not mistaken, I think that’s Richard Smallwood on the wall behind Jaron, to the left of the KZread award. It looks like the cover of “live in Atlanta “?

I would LOVE to see you someday analyze Nothing Without Your Love by Richard Smallwood. Lorree K. Slye's vocals are insane. I understand it may not get as many views are more popular videos though. But she is an insane technical jazz vocalist and her showcase on that song is unmatched.

I shared "Nothing Without Your Love" with some high level orchestra composers in Nashville the other day, and their jaws hit the floor in amazement. They immediately wanted to hear more from Smallwood, so I played "The Procession of the Levites" and they couldn't take it. It hit them so hard they had to walk out of the room to breathe. When they came back they wanted to listen closer to the the orchestration and chordal structure of "The Procession of the Levites". They said they have never heard chord voicings like the brass was playing in "The Procession of the Levites". They instantly became Smallwood fans, and influenced by his music. To God be the glory!

This song sounds like an old black spiritual sang by slaves. I love it!😊

Your ability to break down and simplify the complex harmonies and vocal style choices exemplified in this soul stirring Easter Anthem, speaks well of your own excellent vocal and musical theory skills, good Sir! Awesome analysis as usual!!!

Sir…seeing this blessed me so, so much!!! Not only are you breaking down the musicality and various vocal techniques that are used in the songs that you review, but you are ultimately sharing the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ…through the vehicle of music, which was created by God Himself!! I commend you for this! Please keep up the excellent work! I pray that many more lives would continue to be reached by God’s love through watching your content!🙏🏾🙏🏾

10 seconds in he’s shaking his head and I’m swaying side to side. Lordt!!! It’s the piano for me! 😭😭😭😭

We will see if you can keep it together, however, I doubt it. This song takes me there EVERY time.

I’m a diehard of Richard Smallwood and Vision. This analysis is amazing. Love what you are doing Jaron.

First of all sir…the LEGEND! One of my musical heroes, Richard Smallwood! What more can be said about the maestro!? Job well done! Now…if you don’t call a text sir! SURELY!!! I was waiting for the praise break!! My GAWD!!!!

Love to hear Jaron singing ❤️

Thank you for analysing this song!!!

It’s a good thing that you didn’t go to the praise break. We would have seen you shouting in this video. 😂

Jaron, I am balling my eyes out right now. Yes God! Great review as always. They def take us on a journey through what happened. Almost like a story told through the ages via dramatic song. They definitely paint a picture for you as well as convey the tone of the atmosphere.

The chord progressions here are beyond next level. AND the bombast and drama

I remember when we did The Blood concert at United Baptist Church and Pastor DeAna Wansley sung the lead on this❤. I could barely sing I was so messed up

Man u bad! I have learned so much from you. May God grant you your heart's desire and bless your family. I love the way you broke down the other Calvary This one was awesome too 😊 Bless u . Bro

I love you for doing this 🥹my childhood 🙏🏾 this was in point 👏🏾👏🏾

A classic gospel bop!!!❤

The build up is just so inviting and you know it’s good when the song starts back up and doesn’t just end. These songs tell you a story. 🙌🏾🙌🏾💜

Jaron, Don't apologize or explain for getting "happy"... we get it..we understand, we're right there with you! ❤

Excellent analysis!!! I love your work! ❤ You have a great voice. Please do more gospel songs.😊Chicago Mass Choir is one of my favorite.

I love Richard and his choir. Love!

I never noticed how bluesy all the leads are. Like they are blues women. How Richard Smallwood mixes classical chorale composition, gospel lyrics and message with bluesy voices (specifically in this song) is so amazing.

Preach young man 💯

Great analysis! Definitely one of my favorites.

Preach, Jaron! We need this right now.

I’m so glad you covered this! I suggested it about a year ago but knew we were no where near Easter. Loved this breakdown on another Smallwood genius piece.

Praise you Lord!🙌🏽

I absolutely love the original Calvary recorded by The Smallwood singers on the 1987 Textures album … but this rendition is gut wrenching …… great work Jaron!!!!!!

You preaching here at the end Hallelujah!!!!!🙌🏾

I love Richard Smallwood and have sung his songs in an ensemble I was with. I love your commentary. I'm so glad I've found your channel. I so wish I could study with you but I no longer live in the US. This was a blessing!!! 🙏🏽

Yeeeessss!!! Grew up hearing my adopted Mama singing this around Resurrection week. The tears 😭😭😭

You betta Preach on this analysis!!! 🙌🙌

The video hasn't even started. I just heard the preview and was ready to shout.

I'm thankful for Calvary! Thank you God!!!!

I just love your videos && love for music 🎶

It's the fact his head was shaking before the song even started playing 😂 it already felt good to him in the spirit ❤

Glory Glory Glory to his name

Love Richard and all his gifts

From that first chord structure, I got happy! And then Maurette came thruuuuu whewwwww

Praise Jesus! And what an amazing vocal representation of that awful/amazing day. Whew! Got me in my feelings for sure!

Jaron: "I'm not gon' get happy." Also Jaron: "immediately gets happy"

I didn't think you was going to make it through the song lol!!!!!

What an awesome ministry.. the music and your analysis. Between Richard Smallwood and Edwin & Walter Hawkins.. my favorites. I’m sure as I look through your presentations I will find the Hawkins music. I enjoyed, loved, and was blessed by this (and Psalms 8) I just watched. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m going to be sharing. BTW, I hope you meet Richard Smallwood one day ( if you haven’t already) Peace and blessings to you and your family.

What a breakdown and interpretation and the preaching, Sir. The Easter anthem. Thanks.

Have you done heatwave~”always and forever”? That would be great

Praise the Lord ! Thank you for reminding and breaking down how lovely this song is!

I l-o-v-e your praise!!!!!!!!!!! And you are NOT alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need to do a reaction to Le'Andria Johnsons' version of this song. It's amazing!!!👏🏿

All of them can sing! But I've always loved Maurette Clark tone. Can you do Richard Smallwood & Vision. Angels Watching Over Me? This was when Maurette Clark first began with Richard Smallwood & Vision. Thank you for all that you do here on your page. Another good one to do would be R & B singer Kehlani on her song A piece of Mind. She first began on America's Got Talent. But she lost.

your reactions are always in point!!! I would *love* if you could react to FKA Twigs Valentino Men FW20 live performance :,) her voice reminds me of crystals

You betta preach!!!

🗣️🗣️🗣️SING JARON!!!!!!

I've been BLESSED by Richard Smallwood's ministry for decades. The anointing on his music is deep and powerful. "Calvary" is an example of this power. Calvary, or "Golgotha" which means “Place of the SKULL” (Matt. 27:33) is where Jesus crushed the head (SKULL) of the serpent, just like God said Jesus would in Genesis 3:15. Jesus' suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension was our victory over death. That's why i LOVE when Richard Smallwood follows up "Calvary" with a SHOUT by saying, "But the story doesn't end there, because on the third day, HE GOT UP"!!!!! Then Charisse Nelson McIntosh asks the most important question, so we don't forget who was the One who paid the price for us..."What's His Name? "JESUS". Thank you Sister Legrair for this amazing education on the vocal techniques of Vision. There is a lot to unpack and explain in this masterpiece. May God bless you and your ministry for His Glory!!!

You betta preach!
