@@laurabogojevich9378 In this video he isn’t really breathing and in the studio version (I think) the breathing is taken out. When you listen to a live version 9 years ago you clearly can hear him breath, I mean he has to! BUT in the live version from December 2021 (I think) you never hear him breath. You can see it once but not hear it! So he is much better now and has insane breath control, not only in the studio but live too!

The song that launched me on PTX 9 years ago! My favorite Christmas song. I've heard them describe how they did the video. They were so young, hiking in the woods, looking for a waterfall for the background, never found it, but the were carrying a generator, and it died on the last take of filming, after about two hours, so they had to cart it all back. The budget for the early videos was so low back then. Now, they can, and have, rented an entire section of an airport to film a video for a few hours. The video for their first Grammy cost $400. They recorded it in a closet and filmed it in a kitchen.

This performance is a testament to the choral experience Avi, Mitch, Kirstin and Scott had in high school choirs (and college for Avi), a big part of which was doing madrigals and sacred Latin pieces. That gave them a great foundation for what they've achieved over the years.

It's collaborative. Their two Grammys for arrangements name all five of them and their "sixth member" Ben Bram... but there are also a ton of videos of them working on arrangements as well as a virtual "class" they offered earlier this year where you could pay to get a more in-depth look at their process.
@kirkzentner3262

From the beginning, they worked with genius vocal arranger, Ben Bram, who encouraged Scott to put the group together and audition for The Sing Off. Their 2 Grammy awards for arrangements are shared with Ben Bram. They all contribute to arrangements, and they have probably worked with other arrangers too, but they wouldn't have gotten where they are without Ben there from the beginning.

For all the reasons you mention during and after hearing this song, please consider their take on "Away in the Manger," which has been overlooked by reviewers and the general public. The video was made after Avi had left the group and before Matt could come on board, but that did not stop our heros. They did two or three videos during that early autumn, but my favorite was how they took a hackneyed, much drone young children's song, and through their Pentamagic created a light, bright, and beautiful carol. Please!

Hi Larryshair, This was a great song/reaction. I had never heard it before. As you comment, this song is custom made for this great group. I noticed how young everyone was , especially Mitch. They were great back then (whenever it was) and continue to be so. You can also tell how their voices have matured up to this day. I only wish we could turn back the clock , let us say about 10-15 years ago. I would have gone to see them live (as well as Home Free). Unfortunately I do not have enough time on this planet to go see anyone in person. I always say to not put off something that you can work on today tp check off something you may have on your "bucket list". I had finally made arrangements at the International Hotel in Vegas to go and see ELVIS (the greatest of all time, as I have mentioned before, it was to be in September 77 and we all know he died August 77) . A very great loss for me as I loved him since I was 10 years old. An old story of mine, but watching you today just brought it to fore as to how important to be able to say "Hey, I checked off all that was on my bucket list. (within reason, of course). ....Carole
