For those that don’t know, these, my friends, are called preacher chords. It’s very common in many african american churches where the preacher (usually, but not limited to, a preacher that has the ability to sing) would put a melody in his voice and end his sermon with a “whoop” as a form of praise. Some preachers whoop in the same key, while others like to modulate. The man preaching is E Dewey Smith of Atlanta Georgia. Also, beginning at 2:00 is what we call a praise break. It’s a sequence of gospel music played at a fast beat, around 150-170 beats per minute, followed by dancing from members of the congregation. Praise breaks can occur any time during a high-spirited church service, such as after the announcements, after an inspirational song, and often right after the preacher finishes his whoop. Hope i helped :).

I am extremely impressed that you were able to transcribe his notes down.

The choir singer on the right is so flabbergasted by Cory Henry that she literally has to hug someone else at 1:55 haha what a musician, man

When my kids were 8 and 12, they were invited to worship at a church in Chicago. They were eager to go to a “black church” because they only knew what they had been raised with. Most of their church friends are black and when I heard the church name, I knew about it, a church experience with a ‘little more’. When they got home that evening, I was excited to hear what they had to say. First they talked about the strong music, then the colorful preaching and “a million amens”. But then they paused, and one of them said, “Dad, we were the only white people there in a building full of 400 people. We felt like a couple of marshmallows in the hot chocolate!” I’ve laughed about that for years. 😂

It’s also amazing that you can transcribe all of this so accurately.

Props to the drummer for keeping up with his requests.

Church musicians are a different breed, and cory henry is his own breed

[yannnique]

Respect for transcribing these chords.

I have watched this clip multiple times when it first dropped years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever seen preaching chords actually charted out, let alone that of Cory Henry. This, to say the least, is a gem.

not every day it turns out the cameraman is ALSO playing man this one has everything.

[francoislebois]

"Are you ready, the shit is happening" got me😂

[JoonasD]

No way even trying to just read any triads from this. Every chord is spiced up beyond recognition.

"Glory to God in the highest.." may be interpreted as taking the glory he has planted in each of us and give ourselves the permission and responsibility to cultivate that talent skyward towards that excellent God. I am so grateful that God has given us so many examples of children that he has planted various and wonderful talents in, like our brother Cory Henry here and all the musicians that surrounded and nurtured him to get to where he is now. I hope we can all try to cultivate what God has given us a little more skyward, a little more excellently, a little bit more out of gratitude. In Jesus name Amen!
