A cappella music has made quite a comeback in American music. While the sounds of ‘50s doo-wop have come and gone, a capella remains thanks to the success of groups like ‘Pentatonix’ and individuals like Peter Hollens.
‘BYU Vocal Point’ and ‘Anthem Lights’ came together to deliver their own rendition of ‘When You Wish Upon a Star.’ The results are simply amazing. The moving harmonies, key changes, and overall blend will make your heart soar to the classic Disney song.
The performance video features the groups sitting around a fire wearing casual clothing. They begin singing together. Eventually, the guys end up in a stunning field at night. Mountains are in the background, with hundreds of stars in the sky.
The group sings the timeless Disney lyrics, ‘When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you. If your heart is in your dream. No request is too extreme. When you wish upon a star as dreamers do.’
‘When You Wish Upon a Star’ is a Disney song written for the animated classic ‘Pinocchio.’ The original version was sung by Cliff Edwards in the character of ‘Jiminy Cricket.’
‘BYU Vocal Point’ is a nine-member male a cappella group from Brigham Young University. It was founded by two students in 1991. The award-winning group placed 5th on NBC’s third season of ‘The Sing Off.’
‘Anthem Lights’ started under the group name ‘Yellow Cavalier.’ Their first EP was recorded in 2009. They have become a successful force in a cappella music. This is the first collaboration with ‘BYU Vocal Point.’
The two groups picked the perfect song to duet with, and Disney fans will love this rendition. The sound is peaceful and relaxing while still managing to inspire dreams just like the original!
