It is not necessary to believe in the life everlasting in order to appreciate the side of our human nature which can produce such beautiful sounds. There is comfort there.
1. In dulci jubilo, Let us our homage show Our heart’s joy reclineth In praesepio [in a manger] And like a bright star shineth Matris in gremio [in the mother's lap] Alpha es et O. [Thou art Alpha & Omega] Alpha es et O 2. O Jesu parvule [O tiny Jesus] I yearn for thee alway Listen to my ditty O puer optima [O best of boys] Have pity on me, pity O princeps gloriae, [Prince of glory] Trahe me post te. [draw me unto thee 3. O patris caritas [O father's caring] O nati lenitas [O newborn's mildness] Deeply were we stained Per nostra crimina [by our crimes] But thou hast for us gained Coelorum gaudia [heavenly joy] O that we were there. O that we were there 4. Ubi sunt gaudia [where be joys] If that they be not there There are angels singing Nova cantina [new songs] There the bells are ringing In regis curia [at the king's court] O that we were there. O that we were there. There are angels singing There the bells are ringing In regis curia [at the king's court] O that we were there. O that we were there. Deo gratia!
Merry Christmas everbody! May God always blessed you with joy and happiness despite the pandemic that we go through together. I hope next year will be better and bright for all of us. Amen.
@@gwinniboots if only that were true. We will not get our freedom back without fighting for it. For now, the globalists are destroying our western christian civilisation and traditions as much as they can untill there is nothing left of it.
I remember learning this at school over fifty years ago and it’s one of my favourites. It’s wonderful to go to an event like this in a building that’s hundreds of years old, the atmosphere is incredible,you can almost feel the past around you and the people who went before.
For those that believe heaven does not exists, think again… Certainly for me, this is a heavenly sound. Beautiful carol makes the heart and soul melt. Truly one of the best pieces ever composed and sung..
Thank you King's! This service renews hope in us all. Can't help but keep imagining (seeing?!) Stephen Cleobury. We give thanks to God for all those who now serve Him in another light and on another shore. Happy Christmas!
To take nothing away from the skill of the choir and the gentlemen singers, and the acoustic of this grand Kings College space but I must say the sound team recording this did an amazing job. Every voice, every note, clear as a bell. Liquid gold for the ears.
Let us in the warmth of hearth go to Bethlehem and behold this great gift of divinity to mankind. But first let us pray 🙏. Merry Christmas from Ghana to everyone around the world
Greatest choir on the earth. And the quartette is frightfully beautiful!!! I can listen to this ensemble 100 times a day, never get tired of!! Thank you for your beautiful gift!! P.S. Your composition advisor or arranger is fantastic! This beautiful counterpoint is absolutely new style , yet, speechlessly glorious. Thank you. 😌
Listening to Carols from King's has been part of my Christmas tradition for more years then I care to remember and it is always beautiful and heart warming at this most meaningful time of the year. 🙏
Well done all those keeping this tradition live in such challenging times. This is sublime and an essential part of Christmas for me and so many others. Thank you.
the tradition of God survives any and all the times especially the challenging ones. Times are only challenging because people prefer to obey the laws of men instead of following the word of God.
@@andromedamaxima1543 Hey! It's love and respect for our world and all its inhabitants. The "word" of God has inevitably been twisted to favor human "authority". So, revere and learn from whomever sets a good example, and be open to the perception we're all gifted with.
I am looking forward to seeing the whole broadcast on the BBC tomorrow, Christmas Eve. I'm sure it will be excellent. As every year, it will be the start of my Christmas Celebrations. A Merry Christmas to one and all!
I was thinking, "Ah this person likes the same sounds i do!" That and the part where they begin saying oh That we were there, culminating in the final time they say it at the end with the triple note rise at the end. Sublime.
@@jamestrager551 Daniel was previously organ scholar at King's and graduated from the University of Cambridge. The academic hood he is wearing is MA (Cantab). I don't care what he was doing in NYC, he has come home and we are very pleased to have him back.
Sublime. Miraculous. The combination of the greatest architectural masterpiece of the world with the culture of western civilization at its very peak expressed through songs giving praise to the glory of god.
I was introduced to this carol when I sang it with my 6th form choir - a great arrangement. I'm catching up with the broadcast on Christmas Day as I missed it on Christmas Eve ☺️
You have good taste!This is a beautiful one isn't it? I knew it as "Good Christian Men Rejoice" when I was growing up but I don't think the English bears much resemblance to the Latin
my favourite christmas carol of all time superbly sung,,,,takes me back in time ,i sang it in school in the 1970s, beautiful song .
It is not necessary to believe in the life everlasting in order to appreciate the side of our human nature which can produce such beautiful sounds. There is comfort there.
@ You have every right to believe whatever comforts you. They are just words in a book to me.
@ Jus some mans words in a book. Wine is wine and water is water.
"Oh, that we were there" indeed!
That’s what my mum says every time we hear this carol
Oh, that we were there. That is what I say whenever I hear this song.
Oh my Lord i am in heaven. Listen to these beautiful voices.❤❤❤❤❤
1. In dulci jubilo,
Let us our homage show
Our heart’s joy reclineth
In praesepio [in a manger]
And like a bright star shineth
Matris in gremio [in the mother's lap]
Alpha es et O. [Thou art Alpha & Omega]
Alpha es et O
2. O Jesu parvule [O tiny Jesus]
I yearn for thee alway
Listen to my ditty
O puer optima [O best of boys]
Have pity on me, pity
O princeps gloriae, [Prince of glory]
Trahe me post te. [draw me unto thee
3. O patris caritas [O father's caring]
O nati lenitas [O newborn's mildness]
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina [by our crimes]
But thou hast for us gained
Coelorum gaudia [heavenly joy]
O that we were there.
O that we were there
4. Ubi sunt gaudia [where be joys]
If that they be not there
There are angels singing
Nova cantina [new songs]
There the bells are ringing
In regis curia [at the king's court]
O that we were there.
O that we were there.
There are angels singing
There the bells are ringing
In regis curia [at the king's court]
O that we were there.
O that we were there.
Deo gratia!
Words by the 14thC mystic and friar Henry Suso, according to legend the angels sung it to him

Yes, but it isn't evidence of heaven beyond life. Or can you show me otherwise?
Thank you King's! This service renews hope in us all.

This year's Carols from King's introduced me to The King's Singers. I can't believe I never knew about them before. Amazing voices.
Just beautiful, marvelous, overwhelming, ... Merry Christmas to you all!!
Wonderful. A glimpse of the world to come.

It’s humbling and recharges my battery immediately and brings about a sense of calm 🙏
1:19 - 1:23 , 2:34-2:44 some of the best sounds I’ve ever heard in my entire life
I was thinking, "Ah this person likes the same sounds i do!" That and the part where they begin saying oh That we were there, culminating in the final time they say it at the end with the triple note rise at the end. Sublime.
Especially the Tenor at 2:34 - 2:44. Dude took me to tears with the expression
@@beaugarcon88amazing really
Muito lindo PARABÉNS

He directed in New York at Saint Thomas before being called to succeed Stephen at King's. Wonderful with tye boys.
