NSYNC | I Don’t Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You
Today we feature Nsync’s “I Don’t Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You” (2012). Modulation around 2:35.
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.
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!
