I simply cannot comprehend how a person can really listen to this & call it "garbage church music" (James Reed below) the beauty of the hymn itself , the lovely singers voices plus the truth of its content resonate clearly no matter what the arrangement..."he who has ears to hear let him hear"...
My 1st Sunday singing with St. Barbara's Parish, Old Mission Church Choir was yesterday. This was the 1st hymn I sang with them...this is gorgeously sung & arranged. I have nothing but gratitude for those who post these pieces of choral music here. I practiced from Friday until just before leaving for church Sunday on RUclips. Attitude of gratitude. Thanks again.I will follow this channel faithfully. Praise be to the Father on high.
What do you mean by 'original'? In this context 'original' would suggest they're the composer's own, or written for the purpose of this setting, which is not true; they're well-known to many people to the tune 'Slane', translated from 8th century Irish by Mary Byrne in 19th century; Chilcott takes excepts. This isn't a criticism of the anthem - old words can inspire multiple settings, and through this we access the words from different perspectives - but it's important to get the attribution correct. Personally, I don't think Chilcott's saccharine setting comes close to 'Slane', but that's just an opinion.
Your comment might face a little more acceptance if you were to bother to express yourself in proper English (like maybe capitalization and punctuation where appropriate, with separate thoughts delineated in separate sentences). Just a thought...
Absolutely beautiful
A wonderfully sung version of this delightful arrangement by Bob Chilcott. The voices in this choir shine through.

Powerful Lyrics, wonderful tunes, and fantastic arrangement.
Agreed - the lyrics are original - the tune composer contemporary British of renown & the choir & choral arrangement superb.

Hello, could you please share with me the music sheet of this wonderful arrangement? @ 5teesorchestra@gmail.com.
Warm regards..

haha remember that!
(liked your comment when signed in as kelly sorry:P)
this is not the hymntune SLANE epic fail!
SLANE is simply an earlier version - The Chilcott version is equally good - just different - more recent really.

First rate garbage church music- second rate Rutter, if such a concept can exist!
