    During my last year of undergraduate studies, I was blessed to be able to perform this very arrangement. Its a time of my life that I miss deeply, a part of friendships and familial bonds that aren't what they were. Thank you for sharing this where others can see it, you have helped to preserve a precious memory through your performance. You have also reminded me how desperate men are to find reason to give praise-- how deeply men hunger to find a reason to give way to joy.

      You and me both. It was my favorite Christmas song as a young kid, probably due to the simple melody, which great songs so often have. Just ask the Beatles. I also got emotional in the movie The Color Purple when Oprah approaches the house near dusk and you can hear The First Noel in the background.

    Love the arrangement, love the voices, love the pianist, (except for the clunker at 0:37 - ouch!, and maybe they could have raised the lid a notch), love the beautiful women and beautiful venue! Best recording I've heard so far on youtube and it's not even the orchestra arrangement. Works great. Wish I could hear them with orchestra in a cathedral with reverb! omg! Every time I find a collegiate recording I love, it was done years ago, and I can't help but wonder where all the students are now and what they're doing. We need choir reunions where fans can join in and sing it with them. It may not be as good, but man it sure would be fun! Sign me up! I'd be there if I had to take Greyhound overnight and come right back home. What a joy a concert experience with them would be, as long as we get to use the music and not have to memorize it. Us amateurs don't have time for memorization and that's why church choirs don't usually make you do it. Some do, but I couldn't be in those.
