What’s better than singing one of the most iconic songs of all time?
Singing the song with a choir, of course!
Take any song – any famous song you like – then strip it down and make an arrangement for a capella choir.
You’ll almost always end up with a masterpiece!
This is what Marc Martel proved with his collaboration with the Tbilisi Children’s Capella Choir.
“Is this the real life, or is it just fantasy?”
It’s both, and to be more specific, it’s a collaborative project that will be fondly remembered.
Martel continued singing one of Queen’s most iconic songs – a song that endured decades and is still sung through different versions.
This time, the Tbilisi Children’s Capella is giving it a choir treatment.
The first lines were already more than enough to get the audience on their feet.
Martel’s powerful vocals became more apparent as he belted out the song known for its dynamic melodic changes that demanded a high level of vocal prowess.
However, Martel made it look so fun and easy behind the grand piano.
The performance was made even more amazing with the choir’s impeccable vocals that echoed beautifully throughout the song.
But the choir truly shines during the song’s second act.
The exchange between Martel and these young ones will make you wonder why the original version didn’t use a choir like this in the first place.
They even flashed some moves, especially in parts where the singing was more intense.
The performance also showed that songs that stood the test of time will always find themselves in the hearts of younger artists.
Bohemian Rhapsody was released in 1975.
The song was written by Freddie Mercury, the vocalist and frontman of the band Queen.
The song rose to fame due to its innate uniqueness as it progressed through different genres.
The six-minute suite has a moving tune that lacks a chorus or several sections usually found in songs.
The band explained that the song is a “mock opera” and was born from three different songs.
The initial reaction to the song was mixed but as years passed, the song was dubbed as one of the greatest songs of all time so much so that it became synonymous with the band itself.
The song has endured until now through the performances of contemporary artists such as Martel and the choir.
“This is why Freddie will never die – we keep him alive in our hearts.” Said one commenter.
“I travel to hear Marc sing live once a year. Videos do not do this man’s voice justice. Aside from a beautiful and powerful voice, he is very energetic and entertaining on stage. I never get tired of listening to him.” Said one of his fans.
