VOCES8: Song Seven: 'Si Le Le' - Bobby McFerrin (Interactive Song)

Today for our #LiveFromHome we want to sing with you! This is a song called Song Seven: ‘Si Le Le’ by Bobby McFerrin (arranged by Paul Smith), and Andrea is going to teach you all the parts so that you can join in. The song is in a seven beat pattern, and involves body percussion as well as singing to keep you on your toes. Good luck!

I had an annoying Friday until I just came across this video. I sang along twice and now I'm really fine. The weekend can come now.
Thank you for the nice music.

"Hi everybody" perfectly tuned on G and C

Your music is absolutely the most beautiful sound! I cannot get over the pureness of your vocal sound-& this from a former member of the Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake City! 🤗

2:09 How lovable is Katie's ALTO voice? "Like" if you agree!

Great fun! Love Bobby McFerrin. I went backstage once in LA and met his mom and hugged him. He is a national treasure!

Today I heard this in the city of Bremen, Germany🇩🇪, drizzling rain, 15 degrees... And I was the only one dancing 💃🕺💃 at the bus stop...
Left Valencia two days ago, 35 degrees, spent a day in Paris🇫🇷,
26 degrees, and currently 15 degrees, no sun, no pool🏊...,
But music, su le le su le A bit like singing in the rain... 😂🤣😂
Andrea did a good job explaining and teaching the 7 beat structure...
Bless you❤, and enjoy the rest of the summer, wherever you go, it's in your heart, anyway... Bon voyage ❤

Just found your videos today.
I listened to Jesu, joy multiple times and then this one multiple times as well.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Thank you for lifting my spirits in this time of pandemic induced madness.

Pretty extreme acoustics in that performance space! Won't often find that much natural reverb in a concert room. Good work all - really lovely.

I'm sending it to my students to learn from home. They're gonna love it--thank you. Please do more!

This is the sweetest, most thoughtful thing

The soprano in red (it isn't the title of a poem) is having a blast! She is contagious!!

Thank you so much!! For those of us who are missing choir, this is a lovely gift! Also like that you show the change in tones the same way I learned to years ago.

When you're having an exhausting day and remember just in time that this exists! ❤

Cool. Sounds African, with a twist.
How we would harmonise this very quickly in South Africa:
Deep bass line ... I I I, IV IV, V... V V, I
The first bit Elanor was doing we would let the tenors do.
Beautiful 🥂

Took me back to summer camp as a kid. We would often learn round songs in three or four parts switching parts for each repetition. We did this in the main hall or outside around a camp fire where it would echo through the woods.

Thanks so very very much for this! I do so miss my choir rehersals (already now - and who knows how long it wil take...). So this really was like the perfect gift to me - to stand in my living room and sing with you guys. You defintely made my day!

[RogerHale]

Great Video! Thank you for this simple demonstration from true experts!

[benhizzle]

The cherry on top is always the best part 😊

[julieclemons]

That was fun! Thank you. I miss getting together with my church Choir weekly. God bless everyone!

Génial, vraiment. Je n'ai jamais chanté dans un chœur avant, mais c'est vraiment chouette à suivre !!!
