Stephen Cleobury RIP wonderful Choir and Master 1982-2019. SC 1948-2019. Wonderful he will be missed by those who knew him in Kings and the City of Cambridge.
And by those who knew him outside Cambridge as well. I was honored with shaking hands with Dr. Cleobury and Dr. Jessop during the former’s endearing, unforgettable visit to Logan, UT. The friendship between the two Maestros made this happen, and I was blessed to be there ❤
Just stunning, for almost 30 years I have never got to the end of this arrangement without shedding a tear or being covered in goose pimples. The harmony in the penultimate verse is beyond perfect and fills me with emotion every single time. Nothing touches the soul like beautiful music.
Hannah Raven it takes me back to school too where I first sang it as a boy treble. Even today as a Director of Music at Church, I have a terrible job not singing the descant and makes me cry as well.
Mikee758 I agree! All of Sir David's arrangements are too good for just the Christmas season. And BTW I feel that way about O Little Town of Bethlehem (tune FOREST GREEN) as well.
My parents sadly gone now listen to this for decades every Christmas from when they were small in 1920s until they passed away Dad 2009 and Mum 2018 it is a family tradition to listen and later watch the Carols from Kings i shall again on the 24th Dec love the service the carols and the readings.
A lovely story about your parents David. I lost my dear dad & mum in 2013 and in 2017 respectively. Christmas is such a bitter sweet time but we carry those lovely memories, like the ones you have written about, with us and hopefully leave behind the same for our children, family and friends - like your mum and dad did with you. Merry Christmas.
Soy uruguayo, sudamericano. No domino el idioma inglés. Soy cristiano católico. Y debo decirles que en ninguna liturgia católica he visto ni oído una asamblea que cantara como en esta Misa en la Abadía de Westminster. Es maravilloso cómo el coro de los niños completa el canto de la feligresía con una melodía armónica con la melodía principal. Es bellísimo todo, y con un video muy artístico. Fraternales saludos desde Uruguay.
Afortunadamente en mi comunidad (también soy cristiana católica) se han rescatado demasiadas piezas y Adeste Fideles es una de ellas. De hecho soy parte del coro y me enorgullece ofrecer mi canto en este tipo de liturgias.
bornforbanning I can't fly because my ears pop badly. Otherwise I would have been to Cambridge in 2015 for the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in memory of Sir David. It was his arrangements that made me an Anglophile. I have been an Anglophile since 1994, and a pipe dreamer (enthusiastic amateur organist) since 1994.
+Burke Reed It is wonderful. I play the descant on D Trumpet every year at Midnight Mass. Choir and congregation in full voice, Organ with all the stops out and the Trumpet sounding the descants... gets me every time.
God is in my life and whether he is in yours is something for you to decide but for sure much beautiful music was inspired by the love of God and the lessons that Jesus taught us. I love the descant to this hymn I used to sing it.
Very poignant and beautiful comment Edward.. God is certainly in my life, and one can only think that these beautiful hymns have been inspired by divinity and true faith.
@@donaldedward4951 here's an idea. Sing it in falsetto. My favorite choir director can sing falsetto. BTW I am female, but sometimes I get hoarse because of reflux and I drink extra water when I am going to sing a descant.
simply a beautiful piece of music that hits you in the heart and sole and makes you feel good all over and makes life worth living each and every single day...
All of Sir David's arrangements make me feel that way, hit me in the heart and soul and give me a reason for living. That's why I'm an Anglophile (even though I am American and have no English relatives.) The hymn tune FOREST GREEN makes me feel that way too. And organ music does too. BTW my favorite female organist was named Fran. (Fran McDaniel 10/13/42 to 11/28/94.) I miss her so much.
Martin Putt Ever since I first heard the King's College Choir on the radio (in 1994), I am always geared up for Christmas, regardless of the time of year. And they made an Anglophile out of me. The King's College Choir and Sir David's arrangements are the best!👍👍
O come all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold Him Born the King of angels; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

Brilliant, inspiring and uplifting. The true inspirational sound of Christmas. Willcox's superb arrangement captivates it perfectly. Peace and goodwill to all
I am an American Anglophile. Thanks to the late Sir David Willcocks, whose birthday is today. I sent a balloon to heaven for him. His arrangements and descants make my heart soar, too.
Hard to Imagine even the Angels of Bethlehem singing more beautifully (I know the Angels did, but hard to imagine what that would even sound like, all these hymns, including this, are so good!)
My favorite things about anglican church music: the descant and interesting last verse reharmonizations. A good organist can really have fun with the latter.

Istenem; e falak között állhattam több éve, vagy 2 órán át, s hallgathattam e kórust. "Testben-e, vagy testen kívül, -nem tudom," mert szédületes élmény volt. Most ezt újra átélhettem...
All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning, O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored. Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.
I listened to the live feed from Cambridge this morning in New York. They used this arrangement and this decant for the third verse today -- I think it is my favorite. It just struck me for the first time -- and after years of being a child chorister myself, long ago -- those sixteen little boys are holding that descant alone against the choir men, the whole congregation, and that vast organ roaring in the vaulted acoustic space. It sounds like one model of courage itself.
Merry Christmas, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Phillip, Your whole family, friend, acquaintances & all of the U.K. for the beautiful choirs of Your Highness, Queen Elizabeth Ii, the Traditional Love in the birth of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.+++
You aren't kidding. Our new hymnal, for some reason, eliminated this verse and ends on the descant verse. The unison verse with "the chord" always gives me chills and brings a tear or two to my eye. I play this on the piano almost every day during advent, and I promise I have the harmonies of the 4th verse completely ingrained. Including "the chord."
So calming and nice, just closing my eyes while listening to this makes me feel like I'm resting well!
One of my favourite Christmas carols.
The acoustics.. The voices. The training and direction the beauty of Jesus's birth sung from the heart.. Praise be to the Lord Jesus.. Amazing.
Very nice.. can't beat good material 🇬🇧
my boyfriend gave me a christmas card many years ago this song was on it i still have the christmas card and i still play it after all this time i still cry when ever i play it cant help it i love the song and i always will my boyfriend passed away in 1996 i still miss him a lot and always will thank god i had a lot of happy years with him he had MS

Gorgeous!!! Just beautiful!!! I've always loved the descant in this Christmas hymn. It brings me to tears. King's College Choir is the best.
Thanks for sharing. Nothing better than the sound of the big organ in a great cathedral and a well trained choir.
I could listen to this all year. One of my favourite Christmas songs

Alas. It's been so long since I was a soprano but I so much want to sing the descant.
Alan Stewart When I can I still give it a damn good go :) lol
Love the Flat 9 at "Word of the Father..." This may be the best moment in choral music anywhere.
Alan Stewart sing it in falsetto. One of my choir director friends sings falsetto beautifully.
Far too good to keep only for Christmas. 🎧 😇 ✨

Wonderful ❣️!
The Willcocks' descants to "Hark the Herald" and "O Come All Ye Faithful!" Perfect!
Absolutely!
Ian McKinnon *all* the Willcocks arrangements are *perfect,* and so is RVW's hymn tune FOREST GREEN.

Thank you Maestro Willcocks for this fantastic arrangement, and thank you Kings College for the finest rendition! +Peace

There is nothing so awesome as an organ hitting those bass notes. Oh! and a superb choir.
