Now, Don !

Let me take you to my own genré
which is barbershop !
I´ll think you´ll enjoy this
live performance by the world
champion chorus Ambassadors
of Harmony ! Quite a performance
and arrangement ?

And here is another barbershop world champion chorus Westminster Chorus
performing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" a fantastic arrangement
and a fantastic chorus too !

As the ol´Irishman you are you might like their performance of Danny Boy also, a pity that the sound quality is not always what these performers would deserve, but that is Utube !

PS: I am myself a 14 year member of Nashville-based
Barbershop Harmony Society and I sing barbershop
on a weekly base. In barbershop the tenor
sings the high notes ( enhances the overtones the other
voices produce) lead= the melody line is mostly
under the tenor, the bass sings mostly roots and fifths
and the baritone fills in with all the chromatics
that the other voices don´t !:))

To "ring" or lock a chord in barbershop so that
you start hearing overtones is more than an addictive
experience and it is easy to understand that people
get hooked on this pure american art form !:))

Cheers
Dani
