    On Saturday, December 14, 2013 Berklee students and Boston musicians furnished the MFA's Shapiro Family Courtyard with song, featuring soloist Mark Joseph & a full choir and string section. The nostalgic Christmas tune rang through the MFA amongst hundreds of unsuspecting onlookers and brought bustling and chatting crowds to silence in a bid to capture the essence of the holidays.

    As I've done every year since this video was first published, it is the first Christmas song I watched. It's become a tradition I plan to continue indefinitely as it is, without exception, the most beautiful rendition of this song I've heard over my 72 years! Outstanding...simply outstanding.

      I understand this comment is 8 years old but I was also there. In the beginning shots you see the kid perk up on his chair with the white button down. That was me. 18 years old now and I'll watch this video every year. It was absolutely bewildering

    @alansmith2998 5 лет назад +11

    As I've done since the time this video first appeared on RUclips, I've made it the first Christmas song that I listen to/watch each year. I don't think I've ever heard a more compelling and beautiful rendition of O Holy Night than that done here. It always has the same effect on me....brings tears of joy to my eyes. Beautiful...just beautiful.

    Besides Jesus, I believe one of the Greatest Gifts God Gave Man, was MUSIC ! It touches the hearts, of so many. It can bring back memories of old, and it can lighten a somber gathering. Music touches everyone, no mater what. In this choral setting how can you not be touched by the intricate harmonies, and the words that were written. We are so often humbled by the majesty of such a beautiful performance.... We are BLESSED .. VERY BLESSED.. to be given a gift like this..

    I listen to this version and this version only of O' Holy Night every time Christmas rolls around ever since my Freshmen Spanish teacher Ms. Larivee showed it to my class the day before Christmas break. It honestly breaks all the sadness in life and shows me what the true meaning of joy is all about, brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it so thank you Berkeley school of music for this magnificent production.

    And who are the 61 (so far) dislikers? How can you not be moved by the spirit so in evidence here. How can you not be moved by the beauty and power of these remarkable musicians. The world needs so much of this kind of joy. Never moreso than now. I hope the dislikers can find their own happiness. If not here, though, I don't know where. I will pray for you, dislikers of God's great gift of music, perfectly presented. 12/24/13

    Flash Mob of Real Musicians is what this should be called!
    They all played perfectly, without seeking extra points of attention or trying to stand out.
    This singer... Unbelievable how this song lends itself to overextend and break, yet this man stays pitch perfect, instead of crying for attention, he draws people in with his timid way of singing for which this song was meant.
    This is a rare and outstanding performance!
