The magic began not on a grand stage, but in the cozy, instrument-clad sanctuary of your own home, as the unmistakable, velvety bass of Scott Hoying from Pentatonix filled the room via your screen for a surreal virtual duet. With a focused yet joyful glint in his eye, he counted you in, and your voices intertwined on the first, hauntingly beautiful lines of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
The collaboration was effortless; as you held a steady, clear melody, Scott effortlessly wove around it with his signature harmonic genius, adding rich, unexpected layers and those breathtaking Pentatonix-style runs that cascaded like waterfalls of sound. The shared smiles between phrases said it all—a genuine moment of pure musical connection.
Building towards the climax, his voice gained powerful, emotive strength, never overpowering but lifting the entire performance to a spine-tingling crescendo, culminating in a final, sustained “Hallelujah” that hung in the air before breaking into mutual, exhilarated laughter, creating a perfectly epic and intimate moment you made together.
