The King's Singers - Stille Nacht [Silent Night] (arr. Rutter)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- To celebrate the coming Christmas season we've recorded a few of our favourite Christmas carols, for you to sing along with us from your homes.
This is one of the world's best-known and best-loved carols, in its original German language version -- 'Stille Nacht'. It was originally written by Franz Gruber and Joseph Mohr. This arrangement was written specially for The King's Singers by John Rutter, for an album which was released in 1989. John has allowed us to share his handwritten score (which we use in performance, to this day) for you to sing along, should you wish!

The unisson of the 2 barytons is IN-CRE-Di-BLE !!!!!
My grandfather was born in 1893. His parents died in an epidemic when he was three years old. He was placed into an orphanage in Louisville, KY, run by German Protestant Lutherans. It was a Dickensian childhood (and not in a good way), but he learned German, and each Christmas would sing "Stille nacht" in his beautiful bass-baritone. He would have loved this wonderful version. Thank you King Singers for the music, and for recalling this sweet memory of my Paw-Paw.
Votre cher grand-père chante avec eux quand il les entend depuis l´univers de la résurrection où maintenant il se trouve en vous attendant et c´est un beau risque à courir que d´opter pour cette hypothèse ... , cf vers la fin du Phédon "καλός γαρ ο κίνδυνος " ( = beau en effet le risque-à-courir ) .
J´espère que vous êtes encore vivant et je vous embrasse ,
Joyeux Noël , et comme on dit en Provence " bon bout d´an " ...
Das ist sehr Schon! Ich liebe was ich hat jetzt hore. Mein Deutsche ist nicht the best. I know words but forming sentences is challenging. I do know stille nacht by heart auf deutche as a second generation (German) American. I love this song.
Sehr schön geschrieben 🥰ganz liebe Grüße aus Österreich
The King's Singers - consistently brilliant from generation to generation.
Absolute beautiful.
Beautiful! And perfect German pronounciation! Thank you so much says Martina from Germany 🙏🏼
I have to agree it reminds me of when I was little and my grandmother would sing to me. She was a war refugee who came over in 44- and then moved in 57. I should walk over and see if she is ok.
*moved again she had to go back in 46
I am not German and wouldn't know, but the King's Singers are known for their hared work on getting their pronunciation right. x
Hallo Martina! Frohe Weihnachten dir und deinen Jungs! 🎄🎆💕🎶
Well done. But Nacht is surely not Nascht
When I see the King's Singers, I have no doubt the content is great.
Ich wünsch allen ein schönes Weihnachtsfest ☺️☺️☺️
Très belle interprétation de ce chant de Noël classique !
I can't explain it, but this brought tears to my eyes. The blend, the harmonies are just sublime! Thank you!
Hello alexl ❕❕
God is touching our heart with this song...that's why. He's calling us and says" Come to Me."
@@gygye hey my dear, I would really love to know more about you and you seems quite interesting to talk to❔❔
@@thomasdavid3044 this is not a very subtile way, you were trying to get in touch with alex14 too, were'nt you ?
I had a same feeling, It was magnificent and gorgeous ❤️
At first I thought "oh no, the last thing the world needed is an arrangement of Stille Nacht by John Rutter", but it turned out that's EXACTLY what it needed.
Dem Baritone/Bass Notes are delicious. Viel Dank gents
I love to hear British musicians singing the Queen's German.
The Queen doesn’t speak German.
@Wendy Bendy It is a joke about how the queen is of german ancestry instead of english.
I thought she was english
@@oskarfield8696 Victoria was of the House of Hannover, her successors are from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, which was later renamed to Windsor, and Elizabeth's successors will belong to the House of Battenberg, which is a branch of the House of Oldenburg. And now take a look where all these places are located.
Just when I think I'm tired of this hymn, this premiers and it's fresh and beautiful again! Thank you and brilliantly done!
Oh to have a voice like this Bass singer!
Perfekt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sinece german is my first language i'm used to mock my british friends with things like "try to say Leuchttrum (lighthouse)" or "try Streichholzschächtelchen (a box for match sticks)". They usually fail around the first ch :D. Long story short, i'm very impressed with the clear and absolute on point pronunciation of this song.

There are all these memes about German sounding harch and brutal.
And then you hear this. Something to prove that ALL languages can sound beautiful.
I am multilingual and speak several languages and/or dialects that other people find ugly, but it is a matter of the ear that listens.
Well as my grandmother says.
"Deutsche ist eine schöne sprache, aber schwere zu spreche."
Because these memes are nonsense.
@@Nikioko isn't all memes nonsense?
Well, there's a hint of truth in german sounding aggressive. The rhythm german is spoken in accents the first syllable of each word (this emphasis sounds very direct and in your face). Whereas "softer" languages, such as italian and french, put the emphasis on later syllables in the word (This emphasis sounds more lowkey).
But both language types can be used to make beautiful music. As evident in italian operas or german Bach chorales.
@@orb3796 No. The difference is that German words are separated while in French or Italian they are connected in a liaison.
My first time at listening to these King Singers. I remember the ones back in the mid to late 70’s, maybe early 80’s. Wow, and wow again! Absolutely fantastic, the best I’ve heard this beautiful Christmas carol sung in many a year. Thank you so much. Hope you all have a wonderful, safe Christmas. God bless you all.
Welcome back to the fold... The current lineup is absolutely extraordinary.
Einfach nur schön ♬♪♫
What kind of molecule-lumps are those who gave dislike???
On the whole, whenever I hear a rendition of this carol I go running and screaming in the opposite direction. In the last 24 hours I've heard two performances, by the King's Singers and by Jakub Józef Orliński and his colleagues, and adored them both. Thank you for your interpretation and for helping me to widen my horizons. Io Saturnalia.
This performance is so heartwarming!
especially the chords with low E by John :)
Sehr gut, ich habe noch keine bessere Version gehört. Ich muss sagen, 'VERDAMMT GEIL !!!'.
So fühlt sich Weihnachten an. DANKE !!!
This is the way it was meant to be heard.
So wunderschön arrangiert und gesungen! 🙏👏 Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund', Christ ' in deiner Geburt! "🙏
This is, by far, the most beautiful arrangement and performance of Silent Night that I have ever heard. The way Rutter takes this simple melody and creates this absolute masterpiece is incredible. The texture and timbre is breathtaking.
Tout simplement excellent !!!! Un grand bravo ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🤩
Sounds even better with german!
Thank you for sharing the sheet music. It is so wonderful to listen and read at the same time. Such a gift you bless us with.
My deep respect to these singers. They use the original melody from 1818 without changes, and their pronunciation is very good !
WOWWW!! Thank you!!
Thank You
I love the language 🤩
Thank for this wonderful performance of my favourite Christmas carol. Being from Salzburg, it is so very special to me. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas
This Is What Vocal Excellence Sounds Like. Stunning Performance Gentlemen🎵
Beautifully done.
sehr sehr schön! Danke!
Bravo.
This is such a beautiful arrangement. Your singing is impeccable. The unison lines are brilliant! Thanks so much for this offering.
Wonderfull Arrangement!
The pronunciation is nearly perfect. Sehr schön gesungen. Vielen Dank! 😊
I remember Brother John Svrcek (FSC) teaching me and my fellow Junior Legionaries (Cause of Our Joy Junior Presidium) at St. John's Institution, Kuala Lumpur this song in German in 1981 or 1982 as we were preparing to perform in at a Curia gathering that year. God Bless you Brother John and may you rest in eternal peace and joy in the bosom of our Lord.
RUclips, you are spoiling us!
I had goose bumps all the song... Amazing thanks!!
Wow!
Goosebumps. Just goosebumps. And eyes full of tears. ♥️
Cantano come degli angeli
sehr schön
Loving my fellow basso singer. Smooth comfortable tone without overpowering.
Sheer perfection!
Hello Lori❕❕
fantastici belle voci
...sempre una nuova emozione.....grazie!
My favourite...you made my Christmas; thank you. Happy Christmas.
Excellent performance! Very enjoyable. Thank you. Greetings from Bethlehem, Palestine.
even the pronounciation was epic :). Okay, they werent able to speak the harsh german "ch" for example in "NAcht" or "lacht". And thats a different you hear really strong. but they managed to pronounce the Umlaute and the soft "ch" sounded perfectly :)
And they, too, had idols. And that's Singers Unlimited!
Just a week ago I asked where one can find the arrangement of this beautiful version. And now, this video was uploaded! Thanks a lot. Loads of love for The King's Singers and everyone around here. Stay healthy and merry christmas!
It's adorable!
Sehr schön musiziert!
Many of our traditional Christmas carols come from Germany. This has always been my favorite Christmas carol, both English and German. Thank you!
This sung in church on the 24 th of December ( we call it HEILIGABEND, HOLY EVENING) brings tears and goose bumps. And your GERMAN was perfect, thank you so much !
♥️♥️🇩🇪♥️♥️.
Und das alles in meiner Muttersprache in Deutsch, so wie es der Dichter und Komponist haben wollten. 👍
Auguri da sogno. Una gioia ascoltarvi
Incredible arrangement and performance. I could listen to that over and over.
Hello, everybody! Merry Chistmas!
Thanks. It makes me feel free and comfortable.
Peace be with you.

Wunderschön! ❤
So beautiful!!! Hugs! Merry Christmas! This is my favorite Christmas carol and I'm part german!
Love this so much. My father spoke fluent German and had a great voice. We also had a record of the Oberkirschen Children's Choir singing Christmas Carols and songs in different languages - Stille Nacht was sung in German on that too. So many wonderful memories of singing this in German from my early childhood onwards long before I knew the words in English and also listening to the record every Christmas.
perfect for Christmas.
Love this!! Really a blessing this evening to hear it!
