Peter Hollens | Little Drummer Boy

Today we go back to Peter Hollens with “Little Drummer Boy,” a beautiful 2016 arrangement with TWO modulations, around 1:25 and 2:30. Enjoy!

The Tenors | Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Today we feature The Tenors singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” (2017). 3:05 is the sweet spot. Enjoy!

Peter Hollens | Mary, Did You Know

Happy Monday! We kick off this week with Peter Hollens singing “Mary, Did You Know” (2015), with an exquisite key change around 1:37. Enjoy!

Leslie Odom, Jr. | The First Noel

Today we feature Leslie Odom Jr. singing “The First Noel” (key change around 2:09). His Xmas album featuring this song is quickly becoming one of my favorites — I highly recommend you check out the whole thing.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir | Deck the Halls

Today we feature the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! Thanks to Gus Connelly for contributing this 2013 video. It really is a modulation fest, starting around 0:45. Enjoy!

Let It Snow (from “Glee”)

Today we feature “Let it Snow” (2011) from Glee, which sneaks in a key change right at the end (around 2:00). But the whole video is great. Enjoy!

Leslie Odom (feat. PS 22 Chorus) | The First Noel

An extra holiday mod for your Saturday: we won’t mention where the modulation is, because the musicality of this children’s choir is so exemplary and every second of this performance (2017) should be heard. Many thanks to the students and educators of Staten Island, New York’s PS 22!

Pentatonix | Go Tell It On the Mountain

Here is Pentatonix singing “Go Tell It On The Mountain.” Please listen to the whole song — it is well worth it.

Yeo Valley advertisement

Modulation of the Day would like to present the 2011 commercial for Yeo Valley, a large farming operation in the UK. There is a modulation, around 1:20, that you don’t want to miss. But don’t miss the huge number of boy band cliches which are served up throughout!
