I'm singing this for Lessons and Carol's at my church Sunday December 17th, 2023
Just starting to learn this now and more challenging rhythmically than it first appears, for both pianist and choir.
Excellent performance! This piece looks quite easy on the page but is very difficult to get tight and to sing at this tempo, so well done! 😃
Well, until I saw where the choir is based I would never have thought it was an American choir! Lovely to hear this great carol sung 'accentless'! A great performance.
This is one of the best performances I have heard. Well done and thank you! Re the comment about why the organ, it was written for piano and this performance captures exactly what was intended. Chris Gardner
I just love this! Anytime of the year!!
Wonderful. I used to sing this as a chorister, and so few choirs managed the tempo of it as our MotM did. This really does!
Exactly!
Same with me! My conductor kept it moving and every recording I've heard other than this one is dreadfully slow. We're supposed to be dancing, people!
@@justausername The actual marked tempo isn't actually this fast - but this is an excellent version nonetheless! Some choirs do sing it too slow, for sure.
This should be used at Easter Vigil. I do not know why no one has thought to do this... It is the moment when the lights go full on! Our Savior has redeemed us as His true love and He as Ours. Amen!
Wonderful! Thank you so much for uploading this terrific rendition of one of my favorites. One choir with which I sang did this and it was not so very easy to learn, let me tell you what, but it was so lovely we kept at it and we had a great pianist who provided strong rhythmic support for that totally crazy alternating 2/4 and 3/4 pairs of measures. So uplifting it will be sung forever.
One of my favorite pieces of music.
Primo! We are doing this for Lessons and Carols, Colonial Church in Edina MN. Very well done, precise Three Rivers Singers!
Sounds great...and it is great to see one of my former students, Michael W., singing in this group
Bravo!!! I think this is one of the Christmas season's hidden gems. I sang this with the Lebanon Valley Alumni Chorale under the direction of Pierce Goetz...it was one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing.
Truly outstanding!
STUNNING PERFORMANCE!!!!
Great performance beautifully balanced. It works almost as well with a small band of instrumentalist as it does with a pipe organ, although having sung this at Christchurch Oxford a few years ago accompanied by their fierce, chiffy Rieger was a great experience.
So crazy good!
That organ looks so nice
What fun!
Well done!
It’s a seven count rhythm. It’s a lot easier to sing if you can isolate the rhythm. I used the percussion part on my music’s.
As someone who sang this for 6 years, conducted by John Gardner, this is not a bad rendition. The speed is good, but there is some mushiness trying to make the sound too 'nice'. JG's works have a certain toughness to them, not prissiness.
There is a pipe organ and you use the piano? Wonder what's up with that.
Gardner wrote it for the piano and percussion. According to commentary from his children that I have seen, he very much preferred it to be performed like that rather than on the organ. I'm guessing most people will have first heard this in a nine lessons and carols at Kings and so assume that it is supposed to be performed on the organ. I'm more interested in what appears to be the decision to have all the men singing the tune at the end (although it may be my mishearing). All versions I've seen have the tenors singing with the sopranos in the final verse.

Boring.
Well, it isn’t.
