As Christmas is right around the corner, here is our version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen!" We really hope you enjoy it:) We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas season!
Small criticism - when these lyrics were first composed 400 - 500 yrs ago, the English pronunciation of the word 'wind' (as in the weather) was wind (as in wind a clock). That's why the line: "In tempest, storm and wind" no longer rhymes with 'find' because we no longer pronounce the word as it sounded all those years ago. I for one am determined to wind the clock back and sing it as it was meant to be sung!
True that. I'm still waiting for someone to do "O come o come Emmanuel" in the style of a war song. The closest I've heard was Theocracy's metal version of it. But still, the "hero arriving on the battlefield" sound should be in a lot more christmas songs.
Here's a family-oriented comment: This is music for making merry during the advent of our Lord. Be merry, ladies and gents. Festivities abound at the coming of our Hope.
@@eevs8595 Soweit ich das einschätzen kann war Tolkien selbst überzeugter Katholik, welcher seine Geschichten durch die Mystifizierung des Christentums geformt hat. So oder so das Lied ist dennoch große Klasse ^-^
@Dominik Although I cannot deny that there are also some parallels to the bible in Tolkien's work, most of it is based on the Edda of the nordic people.
Obscure bl00dm00n You are completely right that there are similarities between the Edda and the Myths created by Tolkien. But for me there are mostly about the visual manifestation of landscapes and creatures not about the soul of the story. ^^ "The Lord of the Rings is of course a fundamentally religious and Catholic work; unconsciously so at first, but consciously in the revision." J.R.R Tolkien
This is awesome in the correct and original sense of the word, meaning "inspiring awe." God Rest Thee Merry Gentleman is one of my favorite Christmas songs right up there with the Huron Carol and Why Do The Nations Conspire from the Messiah. Good job, Profundis!
@@CantusTropus I'd bet good money that, at least in this song, the treble voice is a boy. They may have a sister that sings in some parts of other songs, but the timbre of this voice just sounds like a treble boy.
The higher voice is most likely a boy. I don’t have much of a background in music, but I know in traditional choirs, the sopranos and altos are young boys (especially in England)
uhm.... allergic reactions to anything x-mass related due to the over-playing of the music starting a month back every year for the last 10+ years? just a guess at a possibility, after all i nearly have that reaction to anything related these days but i still found this pleasant so...
There's always someone. I guess some might object to the topic of the song despite liking the tune (oh hi), but that also seems a silly reason to Dislike, since they didn't write it, they just sang it.
Finally a version that's artistic not narcissistic. (Lookin at you Pentatonix) It's expertly performed, it's reverent, it's everything I wanted in a piece celebrating the incarnation of the Word. Thank you Clamavi De Profundis
Pentatonix covers really annoy me. They take the soul out of these powerful humans and replace it with shallow and glossy production. It honestly makes me ill
@@augustible9151 it's almost impossible to find a decent traditional version of many Christmas songs these days because there are so many showboaty pop covers.
This is wonderful. I broke my “no Christmas music before First Vespers of Advent” rule just to listen to this. Speaking of Advent: If you all could do just a version of Veni Veni Emmanuel I would be overjoyed. It was such a tease to hear it done so wonderfully in last year’s Christmas medley
this song reminds me of God's love and mercy, and fills my heart with a raging fire of love for God and His only son, thank you for this song in this time of love and renewed hope.
This has simultaneously filled me with emotional nostalgia and an immense amount of comfort I havent felt for a while. This is now my favorite version of this song
I love this. I can almost picture Bilbo and company singing this! There's something about an old Medieval Christmas carol that just sets the right mood.
Can you guys do your version of Veni Veni Emmanuel ? I heard it in last years medley and fell in love with it. It’d be awesome if you did a full version!
I love that feeling, when you click a video with such an anger you almost forgot, why you feel it the first place. Then you listen to that video and without even noticing it the anger falls apart like an old, heavy, uncomforty cloak and you sit smiling in your chair, not even remembering that cloak... Thank you all for that masterpiece, Merry Christmas everyone! :)
@@jackmyowl lmao tfw you don't realize that christmas isn't the only holiday in late december and that there are many other holidays that existed way before christmas and are celebrated to this day...
@@anthrax3404 and the one that many including myself believe in is Christmas. one of my favorite responses to me saying merry Christmas is when someone wishes me a Happy Hanukkah. No ill feelings there just 2 different people excited for 2 different holidays
Un nuevo adepto a tu canal. Me ha encantado y por supuesto, Gloria al Dios Emperador!!! Purgar a esos Herejes y sobretodo llevar el fuego purificador a sus frios corazones!
This version definitely does one of the coolest Christmas songs in existence justice. The vibes are so heavy (in a good way). (Also gotta say I love the accents. It really adds to the weight of the words.)
I've just discovered your all's music and singing. I am absolutely awed by your voices!!! It's almost like traveling to another world entirely. Incredible!!
The Reason for the Season? You mean the winter solstice? Because I did feel it, but not especially. But I can't think of what else it would be, seeing as historically speaking, Jesus was born in Summer...
@@patriciamcgeorge2575 No one really cares. One drop of holy water can bless the entire sea, a holiday can easily be adopted into Christianity all the same. And I think it's a wonderful thing for believers to get reminded once a year that life and agape triumphed over death and decay, no matter when that day of celebration is. Cheers.
This is fantastic. I've listened to the lotr and fantasy stuff for a few years and never realized they had amazing traditionally influenced Christmas music.
I just found your Durin video and im absolutely in loe with your voices, i myself was in a music school 2 years ago so it makes me really nostalgic because we sang similar music.
Yes! You perform Advent and Lent songs so inspiringly! Now all we need are: Veni veni Emmanuel, Adeste Fideles, and Angels we have heard on high for Christmas, plus Lenten songs for next year. ;)
Great version of the carol. Merry Christmas to you guys. I can totally imagine Thorin and the rest of the Company singing this in the Blue Mountains at Yule, except they'd substitute Mahal, the name of their god, for Jesus.
Zweifellos eine der besten, vllt. auch DIE beste Variante! Ganz ganz grosse Klasse, vielen Dank dafür! Die wird mich jetzt wohl zur Dekoarbeit in Endlosschleife begleiten. :)
"X-mas" isn't taking the Christ out of Christmas because the "X" was put in place to refer to all of the other Christian masses and ceremonies that happen alongside Christmas. In other words, it's actually putting more Christ into Christmas. Merry X-Mas!!!!
Also, the Greek word for Christ begins with X, so it's more or less just using the first letter of Christmas, like if we were to abbreviate it as "C-mas"

Just looked up the middle english spelling of wind: "wynd".
I always pronounce the rhyme when I stumble upon these in poetry.
I never thought Thorin and company would sing a christmas song so well
They were written by a Catholic, to be fair
ooh, can't un-hear the dwarves singing now. You just made my favorite song more awesome.
Finally someone else noticed that... welp, all Dwarves seem to do is live in mountains and make up songs about the mountains... good call.
@@TenCentFilms
Christ is as stalwart and majestic as a mountain, so it checks out.
so true...
You made Christmas sound like a hero arriving to a battle-- WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS! I love this!!!!!
True that.

The closest I've heard was Theocracy's metal version of it.
But still, the "hero arriving on the battlefield" sound should be in a lot more christmas songs.
Only Clamavi de Profundis can make a Christmas song sound like you are in a Crusade for the Holy Land and Jerusalem. Well done!

Friday afternoon hitting me with a good surprise
Friday evening in germany - I was surprised to see a new video after… how long?
Though still a very good piece of work!
@@asaturner466 ich bin jedes mal etwas enttäuscht, wenn es kein Tolkien Lied, sondern was Christliches wird :D

How about Circa 2020 lads?
And damsel in distress too!!!!!!
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is dated approximately in the 16th century.
Everything else you have said is perfectly fine ^^
This song is Protestant, it indeed started in England circa 16th century.
I love how you guys are a Male dominated group n
And you all have distinct deep voices, but when the female comes on she is so pure and angelic.
Pretty sure thats a young boy actually.
@@joshuafischer684 I'm not so sure actually. I think they have a sister that does these parts of the songs.

Cause its religious garbage? I didn't dislike it, mind you....but I can see why people would. Fed up, in so many levels, of religious crap.
The counterpoint section isn't great. It didn't bother me that much, but I could see people disliking it on that basis.
Finally a version that's artistic not narcissistic. (Lookin at you Pentatonix)
It's expertly performed, it's reverent, it's everything I wanted in a piece celebrating the incarnation of the Word. Thank you Clamavi De Profundis
the longest johns have several versions of this one. the lyriks are somewhat different though
Pentatonix covers really annoy me. They take the soul out of these powerful humans and replace it with shallow and glossy production. It honestly makes me ill
Finally , someone gets why Modern Covers and Barroque rewrites of Gregorian Chants are garbage (Looking at you , Schubert)
@@calebdouglas2512 ....because they do pop acoustics. Just don't listen to them if you don't like pop acoustic covers lll
@@augustible9151 it's almost impossible to find a decent traditional version of many Christmas songs these days because there are so many showboaty pop covers.
I swear, I'm not even religious, but THIS is what Christmas music sounds like
Yeah. This is a time to sing praises unto God, not to worship money.
Goosebumps all the way through. My God, this by far, is the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard!
This is wonderful. I broke my “no Christmas music before First Vespers of Advent” rule just to listen to this.

Say what you will about Catholics.
They are fantastic when it comes to musical talent.
You bet your left foot we are
Lorenzo Lodge Why Thank you very much!
Lol
I’m Baptist, but I couldn’t agree with u more
Google "Macht hoch die Tor", or "Aus einer Ros entsprungen" or other german christmas (and even folk) songs. I love them so much!
This is my favorite Christmas Carol. You guys did an amazing job with it. Bring the grandeur back to our beautiful faith. Warriors for Christ!
this song reminds me of God's love and mercy, and fills my heart with a raging fire of love for God and His only son, thank you for this song in this time of love and renewed hope.
I usually don't hold with Christmas music too much but this? I can replay this a few hundred times.
I don't remember this from lord of the rings
This is a christmas song
Secret Extended Christmas LoR Edition.
In Middle-earth they sing it for the birthday of Earendil :D
Some Narnia snuck in. :)

God bless you all Merry Christmas, Jesus is Coming, Maranatha!
I'm not a Christian personally but this is simply fantastic!
Why not?
You don't have to be christian to love this music :)
Agreed.
Good music is good music.
It's not too late
The best description I ever heard about hymns is that they are prayers and stories. This is definitely one heck of a story!
Many happy returns to this silent and holy night, friends.
Since when did Thorin Oakenshield sing Christmas songs??
Must be a LOTR book I haven’t read yet, I LIKES IT!!!
This has simultaneously filled me with emotional nostalgia and an immense amount of comfort I havent felt for a while.
This is now my favorite version of this song
I love this. I can almost picture Bilbo and company singing this! There's something about an old Medieval Christmas carol that just sets the right mood.
I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before, but I would buy a Christmas album from you guys in a heartbeat!
Definitely. And not just for I-Tunes, but on CD.
Caleb Burge rather it be vinyl but cd would be okay
Can you guys do your version of Veni Veni Emmanuel ? I heard it in last years medley and fell in love with it. It’d be awesome if you did a full version!

2024 now and just finding this, a wonderful Christmas gift! God bless and Merry Christmas ✨
Fastest I've ever clicked a video. Another great piece
That time when tidings of comfort and joy spooked the hell out of you. Merry Christmas to all!

(Also gotta say I love the accents. It really adds to the weight of the words.)

My favorite Christmas song sang by my favorite band, love it. Good job
Anyone else listening to this in the summer, and throughout the whole year?

Very cool arrangement, and focused on the REASON for the season. Thank you, and Merry Christmas.

There is another side to Christmas. A deeper, darker side. We all know it, even if we try not to. This song reminds me of that.
