The two composers who wrote this couldn't perform it during the time they wrote it because they wrote this song as a call for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's way more impactful than I initially envisioned.
Meav and Orla's lovely mezzo-soprano voices blend with the superb orchestration for a moving and memorable listening experience. Happy Birthday, Jesus.
As always excellent outstanding brilliant 2 of the best and favorite vocalists ever named orla fallon and meav ni still going strong after all these years later much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be amazed and proud keep on singing music to my ears sings so beautifully and well go enjoy the holiday's hope to see you next year stay safe and warm out stay strong and healthy as well thanks great job people you should be proud way to go very impressed !! Joe
I've not heard the heavenly choir yet but these ladies have the voices of angels. Any song they sing sounds like it came from above. Beautiful ladies, beautiful dresses, beautiful voices everyone of them
@@anandanjohnsimon3571 Seems if a man would say "two lovely ladies" to describe them makes him creepy these days. Glad I'm way too old to play the games now. lol
@@chrisb7198 thank you for your feedback and I'm 47 years myself. If it's wrong GOD wouldn't have created women as such and if it's creepy to compliment women for their beauty then they should cover their faces or go for surgery making them look hideous. Just an opinion have a good year ahead and GOD bless🙏
I just discovered this a few weeks ago. This has always been my favorite Christmas song. I got to sing it with my youth group many years ago. My best memory of this song was performing it at The Magic Kingdom in the cast choir during the candlelight service (back in the days before I lost my singing voice). Since I was a soprano and one of the four shortest, I got to stand at the top of the tree (risers) which made me the closest to the guest speaker which happened to be James Earl Jones. You can't beat having him do the narration of the nativity before and after singing this song. This version, with Orla and Maeve is now my favorite version. Celtic Women is my favorite singing group.
This is a beautiful rendition of a wonderful song. We should also remember that we celebrate the birth at Christmas of Emmanuel, God with us. At Easter we come to the reason for this birth. God died for us, that we might be reconciled to Him. Without the death and resurrection, the birth is just a birth.
It has been a VERY long time since a version of a song has reduced me to tears They sound like 2 angels singing Absolute BEST version I have ever heard Thank you for blessing us all with your beautiful voices they are true gifts
My all time favorite Christmas song..... No song best makes me think back on that night when Christ was born and through the Goosebumps the song gives me understand and actually feel the love God had given us on that night.
This song has a haunting melody that has transfixed me. I have reviewed all the youtube versions of "Do you hear what I hear" including versions by iconic singers Bing Crosby, Perry Como and Andy Williams. Yet I continually return to Orla and Maev's version. Not only is it performed with reverence and purity, the beautiful women not only reflect their love of the music and lyrics, but also their respect and affection for each other. This was evident in their beginning to rhythmically dance while performing the song. They also individually interacted directly with the audience after the song, expressing their appreciation for sharing their music with them. The applause they received was telling. A very beautiful experience.
Said the night wind to the little lamb Do you see what I see Way up in the sky, little lamb Do you see what I see A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear A song, a song, high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know In your palace warm, mighty king Do you know what I know A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say Pray for peace, people everywhere Listen to what I say The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light Do you hear what I hear Do you hear what I hear
Seasons greetings best wishes to everyone at celtic woman really enjoyed and appreciate your singing you should be amazed and proud love you guys go enjoy the holiday's stay warm and dry out there hope to see you next year appreciate you ! Joe

i remember me and my dad were in oregon visiting family and vacation for winter break. and we would listen to christmas songs and i remember this one we both loved it. me and my dad have been home for a while but i know that my dad is awesome and im defintly going to move to oregon
Note that this isn't really a Celtic Woman performance. Both Orla Fallon (the redhead) and gorgeous, glorious Meav Ni Mhaolchatha are former members of Celtic Woman, but this clip is from the DVD Orla Fallon's Celtic Christmas.
As the conversation goes…. “You’re crying dad” “No I’m not…..” This is so incredibly emotional and stunning and beautiful and moving and a privilege to hear these beautiful voices sing this amazing song of my Lord and saviour. Make Him yours too…
I don't care what the story behind this,this is one of my favourite Christmas songs and honestly even if this was written for the Cuban Missile Crisis it works as a Christmas song.
One of my favorite Christmas Songs I really anyjoyed This Song somuch do you hear what I hear I really would like to Wish every One a verry Merry Christmas
Two lovely women with superb voices and a wonderful song. Órlagh Fallon, professionally known as Órla Fallon & Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, professionally known as Méav. Thanks for sharing.
when a song and a voice can bring you to tears, you know its special.
James, you were perfect with your words. This song it is very special and bring us to tears. Listening from Brazil.
The two composers who wrote this couldn't perform it during the time they wrote it because they wrote this song as a call for peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's way more impactful than I initially envisioned.
The chord changes have just as much to do with it - music moves the soul.
Meav and Orla's lovely mezzo-soprano voices blend with the superb orchestration for a moving and memorable listening experience. Happy Birthday, Jesus.
Without God you have no faith, beautiful song

Two lovely ladies with Angelic voices singing a lovely CHRISTMAS song thank you GOD bless and Merry CHRISTMAS🙏🙏🙏
You said what I wanted to say but your version didn't sound creepy. Merry Christmas to all.

My favorite version of this song by two world-class vocalists. And two of the best vocalists ever to sing as Celtic Woman.
My favorite Christmas song. Something about the innocence of children and animals sensing the life of Christ that makes me feel joy.
Love the song Love the Celtic Women Merry Christmas everyone

It was written during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was a bet on peace in the world.
This song is so beautiful!! I love it! 🎶🎹🎶🎺🎶

Whitney Houston owns this song.
Celtic Woman combines beautiful singing with excellent music. The talent of these performers is superb!

Beautiful voices I could listen to them all night
This recording is phenomenal. Kudos to all involved.
Beautiful.
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song, high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
Do you hear what I hear
Do you hear what I hear
BRAVO Ladies, BRAVO! Excellent job

Thank you Lord Jesus
This is my all time favorite Christmas song. I fell in love with it in elementary school when we sang it at our Christmas program.
Me, too! I was just going to say that when I saw your comment. I sang this with my 5th grade choir when I was a kid. ^_^
That's the same grade I was in when we sang it.
Sherrill Hinton
Now you have me wondering if we sang it together all those years ago? Heh. Anyway, Happy New Year to you and yours.
A favorite!!!! Great version.
