This should be a staple of every Lutheran church Christmas program (everybody else, too, but honestly, why have Lutherans given up on their glorious musical heritage?). How can you not be excited by this?
Beautifully done, indeed! I think this is the only time I've ever seen a Quart-Bass Dulcian and a Greatbass Shawm played together in a performance. I play both instruments, so I have a great interest in seeing them used. Thank you to whomever scored the parts!
This was simply mind-blowing. There is no music more beautiful. Starting with the glorious composition(s) by Praetorius along with such gifted performers under the direction of a conductor who understands and loves the music. Thank you so much for posting!
actually there is something to put above on your list… 😅 have a look for the whole album recording of this ‚programme’ from the 90ies. PaulMcCreesh, Gabrieli Consort etc, Mass on Christmas morning, which has just even more swag and pomp to it… you‘ll find it somewhere here on YT, as well as a TV recording done a Versailles Chapel… Merry Christmas season to you and everbody
@ …. somewhat I do find it funny to attribute swag to some 500 years old music, but it surely is, as well as rhythmˋnˋgroove ruclips.net/p/PLk-IgAEKYl2xmqHA08IKG7fMRk9ZmZKZO&si=coFfdhMboslvqUaw
@@chrst7346 dont you feel that original album has a little... volume problem? it’s probably my favourite CD in the universe, but there is something weird with the recording
@@tarhuntas (not) just the two of us! I am glad, that apparently Iˋve got a mate. also myself putting this record on my absolute top shelf. And yes, I feel you. I imagine, it just was not to easy for those audio engineers during the recording to pack all this sound into a little silver coaster. All this big Roskilde cathedral crammed with people dispersed all over the place and making noise from every direction. they not only had different choirs and bands on the different galleries up and down the nave, but, if I am correctly informed, also a whole „congregation“ to partake in the hymns and simulate the Lutheran Gemeindegesang was put together with non professional local musical volunteers of the Cathedral choir, and placed at the usual place of the congregation in the nave. At some tracks, one of my most beloved musical jokes, can be found in the booklet: „Continuo: Cathedral Organ (tutti)“…. 🫣😀 Where to put the mics to grasp all that Raumklang? Then there’d be the acoustic delays overlapping in strange fashions, no 360 degree mics yet, etc etc Iˋd totally excuse it for seeming a little bit flattened or dull. Even if being a melomaniac, I always concentrate on the content rather than the dosage form… so within 4 days time I am looking forward to getting every body else out of the house for two hours, as they couldnˋt stand it, sending them on a walk…then put on this album, turn up the volume of my HiFi-Devices to the max and have myself my very own little merry Christmas…freaking out, singing along, cheering and dancing around the house like a joyous madman. Merry Christmas!
The main three singers have beautiful voices, listen to that guy's tenor. But I was wondering why the choir sounded a bit flat, then I saw the demographics
This is good music, but good grief, everybody's so serious! It's a happy song, a folk song from around 1400. Smile some, and the music will sound joyous.

Loud, Raucous, and Feral are not just a law firm. This is true Christmas joy.

That great bass shawm makes up half of the entire bass sound, it is incredible how powerful and just... violent the music sounds with this bass.
The name of Paul McCreesh on any musical production all but guarantees a superior work and thrilling experience.
Absolutely brilliant!
This singing voices are out of this world, and I seem to be in Heaven

Just been reading about the Gabrieli's Roar project. Brings tears to my eyes to learn about such a fantastic initiative x.
Absolutely brilliant performance of a great work!
Dieser mann war ein künstler .der seinen glauben gestaltete .
Well that takes the cake.
So good! 👍🇩🇪
Genial!
👍 for maestro Paul McCreesh!
Шкода, що в генія замало часу та можливостей.
The soprano on the right looks like the one that used to sing with Voces 8.
Emily Dickens!
is this music arranged? it is different with musae sioniae.

Weihnachten .so wie früher .p
Bläser auf der empore .wie es sich für traditionelle musik gehört .der sound von 1600 .nicht der krampf der90ziger jahre .
Some of those instruments look like they were borrowed from a medieval art exhibit.
