This rendition really gets me through the dog days of summer. Watching and listening to it has become sort of a "Christmas in July" tradition for me. Again, thanks for sharing.
This song, interpreted masterfully by this children, remind us the song that the angels sang in the 2010 years ago night. It is impossible do not enter in the Christmas atmosphere.
In the whole World I see the The Kings College Cambrige Choir performance are exceptional. Heavenly Language and Voices. May the God the Saviour Lord Jesus Christ accept your praises and bless you all
My choir sang this song this year... I was in the bass but we got a Soprano soloist to sing the main melody with the full Choir behind her...and I honestly dont think ive heard anything like it since...theres just something about a strong Soprano singer...it gives me goosebumps!!!
What a great choir of King`s college Cambridge. Magnificant singing from this fantastic choir. What a fabuous Christmas listening to this great music and choirwork.
@Jonas1145 ............I just wanted to tell you about a great piece of "real French singing'. It's on a CD called "Heavenly Voices" by the boys of Kings College Choir.....Track 7, Cesar Franck; Its called "Alleluia" (Choeur de Paques)..............amazing....... C'est magnafique.................perhaps you could interpret it for me, but I just love it in French. PS: I love your language, maybe we will all speak it in heaven!!!
100% beautiful.. You guys keep Britain real in elegant music. Those harmonies are out of this world and give me goose bumps everytime. My fav Xmas Carol sung by living Anges :-)
Well, this year I'm feeling the summertime blues a little earlier than usual lol Seriously, when I need a pick-me-up, this version always does the trick. Thanks again for sharing!
I swear I must have reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. It's 103 outside today, so the furthest thing from mind should be winter and Christmas music, but I can't wait for either, summer just depresses the hell out of me. Hearing this version of this truly magnificent song helps to get me through. Thanks for sharing!
How wonderful to suddenly find a dose of Christmas cheer on the ABC voting list. A reminder of our fantastic good fortune everyday that we live in a land of peace. The beauty of this and yes that Rubens that hangs behind them must give us hope for peace if nothing else.
Yes! The do the slip notes! My choir has done this every other year for the past few years, it's just such a joy to sing - even now I've switched from treble to bass :P
Thank you so much for the lyrics and history of this song in this part of the playlist. If you could include the lyrics for all the other carrols that are missing them in the description, that would be much appreciated. I know I asked for this in one of the comments in a previous video in this playlist, so please know how much it means to so many of us who long to be able to sing with these glorious boys and young men. It really makes a difference. Thank you.
Absolutely superb! I first saw this Christmas Eve '06 and you could have heard a pin drop. Surely one of the most remarkable and powerful versions of this popular song.........can't believe there have been so few hits! Thanks for posting........I hope they release this on CD at some point!
The audio is brutal here with crackling and breakup of sound. Go to the 2009 King's College version on YT. Much better quality and the students they had that year were terrific singers.
wow, this is different from what i usually listen to... i actually love music like this, but i come from an athiest family, so nun of my family wants to celebrate christmas. in my confidential opinion, whether your christian or not, these songs are amazing. and even strengthens my faith, just a little
Search for the Truth behind this beauty. If you do, you'll eventually find Jesus Christ, He who is Incarnate Truth, Son of God and Son of Mary, Our Savior and God.
Amen I couldn’t agree more! These songs were created to parallel the Glory and commensurate the power of God that came in the flesh. I truly believe that these songs from eternity quicken even the angels of God to sing along because of their magnitude! I think that’s one of the reasons Christmas songs about the birth of Christ are so powerful.
I love this piece! I sung the first verse solo in my choir's Christmas concert, which was absoulutely fantastic. It wasn't the Rutter arrangement, like this one, but this is lovely all the same!
Thank you so much for this video. I have spent all week trying to find O Holy Night with all 3 verses. The celebrities just seem to sing the first verse and maybe the second. Thank you again.
What's up with me.... but why can't anyone sing: "Oh, hear the angel's voices..." sound like angel's voices???? I mean, am I the only one on earth to interpret that as "heavenly, or celestial???" contact me, if you agree.
@cgambler864 .....make that two of us............sort of resonates with "And can it be"........my chains fell off my heart was free, I rose went forth and followed Thee.............what a heritage we have!
religion has harnessed some of the most powerful conceptions of beauty, this and the rubens hanging behind them are two examples. utterly mortal, though, and all the more magnificent for it.
@BeauTenor: that is exactly right; although the "Xmas" seems to be connoted with commercialization and secularisation anyway. Merry Christmas 2010! ;-)
@wesleyrocks1738 had i been there listening to them i would have been carried out..............chains shall he break for the slave is our brother and in His name all oppression shall cease.....
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth. A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine, O night when Christ was born; O night divine, O night, O night Divine. Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming, With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here come the wise men from the Orient land. The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger; In all our trials born to be our friend. He knows our need, to our weaknesses no stranger, Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend! Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend! Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother; And in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name. Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever, His power and glory evermore proclaim. His power and glory evermore proclaim.
It is not a cross turned on its side. It is the Greek letter Chi, the first sound/letter in Greek for Christ (the other being the letter rho which looks like our letter "P").
not to worry Patrick. It's a Greek symbol/letter that was used during Christ's time and is still in use today. The acronym, IXOYE for example. But i think i understand why you'd feel that way considering its use today in terms of a rating for a particular movie genre. Anyway, i don't think he/she meant any harm by the use of it.
Sends shivers down my spine hearing those high notes! I listen to this even when it's not Christmas. It always makes me tear up.
This was my deceased mom's favorite song. She always cried a little when she heard it.
Thanks , Mom...how I wish I had your faith.
Can I ask, what do you mean by that?
@@PlavitPOi90Their mom probably cried thinking of the sacrifice/birth of Jesus Christ and had faith in Him 💖🫶
This is now widely regarded as the world's greatest Carol, and rightly so.
This rendition really gets me through the dog days of summer. Watching and listening to it has become sort of a "Christmas in July" tradition for me.
Again, thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful. This is truly a magnificent rendition of, "O Holy Night."
Those little kids are so cute and sing like angels. What more could you want?
Just wonderful! I am sure none of these boys are angels, but they sure could fool me with
their beautiful singing!
This song, interpreted masterfully by this children, remind us the song that the angels sang in the 2010 years ago night. It is impossible do not enter in the Christmas atmosphere.
In the whole World I see the The Kings College Cambrige Choir performance are exceptional. Heavenly Language and Voices. May the God the Saviour Lord Jesus Christ accept your praises and bless you all
It's amazing how 1 or 2 superb tenors can stand out from the whole choir!
i dunno why, but i allways have to cry if i hear this song, may cause of its beauty !
The living God is trying to reach you, read the lyrics.
My choir sang this song this year... I was in the bass but we got a Soprano soloist to sing the main melody with the full Choir behind her...and I honestly dont think ive heard anything like it since...theres just something about a strong Soprano singer...it gives me goosebumps!!!
Bellissimi con preghiera nato proteggatore
i love the arrangement
the counterpoint is simply stunning during the choruses
actually sends chills all through my body such power
What a great choir of King`s college Cambridge. Magnificant singing from this fantastic choir. What a fabuous Christmas listening to this great music and choirwork.
It's the best version i've heard so far!!

100% beautiful.. You guys keep Britain real in elegant music. Those harmonies are out of this world and give me goose bumps everytime. My fav Xmas Carol sung by living Anges :-)
Magnifique ! Très belle interprétation, les choeurs d'enfants anglais sont très bons !
This makes me cry in... something... Awe?
It does not get any better than this.
Well, this year I'm feeling the summertime blues a little earlier than usual lol
Seriously, when I need a pick-me-up, this version always does the trick. Thanks again for sharing!
how lovely to listen and sing along with...........
I swear I must have reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Absolutely fantastic-did this with my church choir last Christmas (2008)-one of the best Carols written I think. Thanks for posting the others too!

Amazing!
Absolutely fantastic.
Its beautiful because its coming from human beings. No miracles needed!
The audio is brutal here with crackling and breakup of sound. Go to the 2009 King's College version on YT. Much better quality and the students they had that year were terrific singers.

Glorious

Follow your heart...God will continue to bless you
If you ever see this, Christ is fighting for you 💗 He loves you and is calling you!
this is fantastic
Lovely! This is magic!!!!

My teacher is the organ scholar playing here!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
@Gencturk92 i have always thought so. this song always remind me of the movie too.
@ursie1986 So cool that you referenced the art work!
Well spotted angelicmelody404. The Choir just sung an identical version for the 2009 carols and John Rutter was credited as the arranger.
I've only got 3 other pieces from 05, but I will post them.
@Mackaronni : It's true, he would be flattered. La musique est vraiment universelle !
Behold your king...behold yourr KINNGG!!!
@cgambler864 .....make that two of us............sort of resonates with "And can it be"........my chains fell off my heart was free, I rose went forth and followed Thee.............what a heritage we have!
I would love to hear this same version without the audio clipping at the loud parts. One of my favorite versions on TH-cam.
religion has harnessed some of the most powerful conceptions of beauty, this and the rubens hanging behind them are two examples. utterly mortal, though, and all the more magnificent for it.
@BeauTenor: that is exactly right; although the "Xmas" seems to be connoted with commercialization and secularisation anyway. Merry Christmas 2010! ;-)
That is a very nice attitude actually, though Andante 735 below would not agree with you on that !
Happy Christmas from Norfolk UK !
@jonahkwok
Totally agree. I got gooseflesh at 2.06
@wesleyrocks1738 had i been there listening to them i would have been carried out..............chains shall he break for the slave is our brother and in His name all oppression shall cease.....
O holy night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born;
O night divine, O night, O night Divine.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from the Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weaknesses no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King, Before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
it was filmed for TV - perhaps they had time constraints....or it was edited in order to fit the TV slot.
Please post the rest of 2005!
epic
it’s a shame that the audio quality isn’t better!
It is not a cross turned on its side. It is the Greek letter Chi, the first sound/letter in Greek for Christ (the other being the letter rho which looks like our letter "P").
@psychobugler you have arrived in the right harbor on the wrong boat
