An acapella performance has the unique ability to enhance any song, captivating listeners with pure vocal talent and highlighting lyrics without the distraction of instruments.
This is especially true for Brigham Young University’s (BYU) Vocal Point and their acapella rendition of Josh Groban’s 2003 hit “You Raise Me Up.” Their version breathes new life into this beloved song.
Founded in 1991 by students Dave Boyce and Bob Ahlander, BYU Vocal Point quickly rose to prominence on campus after their debut performance sold out.
Since then, BYU Vocal Point has amassed numerous accolades, including a fifth-place finish in the third season of NBC’s The Sing-Off.
Their talent reached new heights in December 2018 when they announced on social media that they had signed a record deal with Decca Gold, a classical label under Universal Music Group.
“We’re just regular college students doing amazing things,” remarked member Jason Bromley.
The music video for “You Raise Me Up” is a powerful vocal journey.
Set against a breathtaking backdrop of mountains and valleys, the video begins with a single clear voice, soon joined by another in perfect harmony, creating a rich, multi-layered sound.
The ensemble combines their bright, clear voices with impressive vocal percussion, making their rendition even more captivating as they traverse the stunning landscape.
The harmonies blend so seamlessly that it’s hard to identify the lead singers, showcasing their exceptional teamwork.
Rather than simply imitating the original, they offer a refreshingly unique take on this popular song.
Their distinct style and arrangement shine through, especially with a new hook at the end that enhances the harmonies. An additional student chorus adds to the crescendo, resulting in a powerful conclusion.
You’re going to love BYU Vocal Point’s extraordinary rendition of “You Raise Me Up.” Sit back, relax, and enjoy this unique and moving performance.
