Vox One | Lullay, Thy Little Tiny Child (The Coventry Carol)

Weekend bonus: Massachusetts-based a capella quintet Vox One delivers a beautiful performance of “Lullay, Thy Little Tiny Child/The Coventry Carol” (2017). Moduation at approximately 1:40, but many other fleeting key-of-the-moment sections, as well as a reversion to the original key.

Barbra Streisand | Jingle Bells

Happy end of the week! Today we feature the incomparable Barbra Streisand singing “Jingle Bells” (1967). This gem is packed with modulations, both rhythmic and harmonic. It’s short so I won’t point out where they all are — you have to listen to the whole thing to get the full effect. Thanks to Bryan Wells for sending this in. Have a great weekend!
