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.
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..
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.
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.
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!
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.
To cry, To laugh, To ponder, To dream, To believe, To deny, To love, To lose, your emotions will rise every single time. We go through all of those at some point in our lives, and music always find them! I wish you all good health and peace in 2025.
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. 😌
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.

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
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.
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. 🙏
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 sang this in my school choir at a Harlow comprehensive school in the 60s, inspired by two fantastic music teachers, Brian Barnes and Michael Frith. Harlow kids singing in Latin. Wonderful memories evoked by this wonderful choir at King's. Thank you.
@@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.

No se puede explicar con palabras,lo que se siente escuchando está maravillosa música,sólo es tan sublime como estar en el cielo lleno de Paz y felicidad
Maestro Hyde - at 02:16, if you ignore that 'pause' and go straight on in tempo to the next one at 02:30, it allows much better flow to the climax and avoids the bittiness, bringing the piece to a much stronger, more unified 'symphonic' conclusion. Great work, I appreciate it very much.
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 ☺️
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!
my favourite christmas carol of all time superbly sung,,,,takes me back in time ,i sang it in school in the 1970s, beautiful song .
If on earth it's this beautiful how much more is it going to be like in heaven,? Songs that men have never heard of will be there 😅
I first heard this when I was 13 my dad brought the record 75now❤
the amount of peace that washes over me when i listen to this…
It's so wonderful. Heaven will be beautiful and nice.
Oh my Lord i am in heaven. Listen to these beautiful voices.❤❤❤❤❤
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.
Let’s hope they sing this one this year 2024
Prayers for UK: peace, health and love always. ...From Hong Kong
Yes...祝大家聖誕快樂，身體健康!
Our prayers go out to our brothers and sisters in Hong Kong.
"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.
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..
Yes, but it isn't evidence of heaven beyond life. Or can you show me otherwise?
It's for those who don't have live and peace in their hearts who don't believe. Because of those who engaged inn excess inr religion may be the cause
@@Steve-gc5nt Keep an open mind , my friend. Study scripture. The answers are there.
The greatest sound of the holidays...Without this group of talented young men it just wouldnt feel the same
This IS Christmas,and no one dare disturb me whilst I'm lost in this enchantment and beauty.
I'm so looking forward to this year's Carols from Kings.
I always love hearing the choir sing this calming, spiritual carol.
Thank you from Williamsburg Virginia
One of my favourite Christmas songs... Merry Christmas from Nigeria.
You have excellent taste! Joyful Christmas.

Beautiful experience

The singing is beautiful,
Hats off to singing
Greetings from Germany
Good morning Luis
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.
Every year King's College's Carols renew the beauty of Christmas time. Merry Christmas from Brazil.
Beautiful. Xxxx
I'm From Brazil too
Merry Christmas from Spain.

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!
Truly an angelic choir. God bless u all for praising him with your beautiful singing. Praise the Lord.
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.
Thank you. It will be better, we will get our freedom back and celebrate. Happy Christmas and a good New Year. God be praised. 🙏🎄🎉🎶

There are angels singing nova cantica.

This is destroying me this Christmas…so beautiful.
It’s all too beautiful…
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.
This arrangement and this choir should be granted World Heritage status.
I'm sobbing.
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
@@soupdragon151 thank you for sharing I like this carol
Thanks so much for sharing the lyrics! I’ve always loved this carol but have never actually learned it.
Thank you 🎄🎁✨🎀
Merry Christmas everyone from Switzerland!

Very sound advice!
We will be presenting this carol during our carol service. Beautiful done.
May the light of the Lord be with all if us.
The event must go on! I'm delighted to see this during the pandemic as an annual watcher.
Happy Christmas folks...love from Nigeria

couldnt have put it more simply and succinctly.
So moving. Congratulations to the extremely professional choristers and the wonderful Kings Singers! This is truly a year to remember!
That penultimate verse is a vision of beauty. Thank you.
Just beautiful, marvelous, overwhelming, ... Merry Christmas to you all!!

@@KF-cx8bm Sounds refreshingly correct to me.
@ds1868 good for you, I stand with my previous comment
Beautiful, peaceful and comforting, thank you for sharing the wonderful choir music, may GOD bless all.
I remember listening to this singing in January of 2022❤
" Oh, that we were there'
My favourite choir.
Beautiful at anytime of the year to uplift the spirit and focus.
It’s humbling and recharges my battery immediately and brings about a sense of calm 🙏
Wonderful. A glimpse of the world to come.
Beautiful comment.

Beautiful! Daniel Hyde, first time I see him leading the choir.
He directed in New York at Saint Thomas before being called to succeed Stephen at King's. Wonderful with tye boys.

With an all white choir as well?

In dulci jubilo
Let us our homage shew;
Our heart's joy reclineth
In praesepio
And like a bright star shineth
Matris in gremio.
Alpha es et O!
O Jesu parvule,
I yearn for thee alway!
Hear me, I beseech thee,
O Puer optime!
My praying let it reach thee,
O Princeps gloriae!
Trahe me post te!
O Patris caritas,
O Nati lenitas!
Deeply were we stained
Per nostra crimina;
But thou for us hast gained
Coelorum gaudia,
O that we were there!
Ubi sunt gaudia,
Where, if that they be not there?
There are angels singing
Nova cantica,
There the bells are ringing
In Regis curia:
O that we were there!
Sublime.....pure magic in an awful Covid-ridden time....take pleasure from this and be glad to listen and watch.
Absolutely stunning
No se puede explicar con palabras,lo que se siente escuchando está maravillosa música,sólo es tan sublime como estar en el cielo lleno de Paz y felicidad
Beautiful song from such angelic voices. God bless you.
This had me weeping over loved ones lost
Merry Christmas and thank you x

I can't put into words how much I love this carol. It's August and I must put it away until December.
