Story behind the song
One of the greatest assets in singing barbershop music is the immediate friends you make. Al Spence (BHSfanatic), East York, Ontario, Chapter, sent me an email last week letting me know he enjoyed watching my youtube barbershop tags and songs and asked me if I would consider doing "And Can It Be" as performed by Vocal Spectrum and Ambassadors of Harmony. Although a big Vocal Spectrum fan, I had not heard this version. After hearing it and tearing up while getting goose bumps, I knew that I wanted this to be my next project. Not knowing where I could find the sheet music, I nervously sent an email to Tim Waurick, tenor of Vocal Spectrum, and arguably the best BHS tenor in the world, asking him if he knew where I could purchase the sheet music. Tim graciously answered my email and let me know where I could purchase this music (www.glad-pro.com). He even said he had seen a few of my videos! Talk about humbling! And there you go. Two new friends just from singing the songs we love to sing.
So here it is, "And Can It Be" as sung by Vocal Spectrum and Ambassadors of Harmony. The first two verses and chorus are 3 to 5 part harmony. For the 3rd verse and chorus, I used 35 seperately recorded tracks to make the chorus effect (7 Tenor 1, 7 Tenor 2(Lead), 7 Bari 1, 7 Bari 2, and 7 Bass). Also, I apologize for looking down for much of the video. I did not have time to actually learn the music and words so I am having to read the music.
Again, thanks to my new friends Al Spence and Tim Waurick for inspiring and helping me tackle this gem!

I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!
