Ausschnitt aus der Übertragung "Carols from King's" von BBC Two am 24.12.2016
A solo chorister sings Once In Royal David's City to begin the traditional celebration of Christmas from the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge.
The world-famous choir, directed by Stephen Cleobury, sings a glorious selection of carols, including Ding! Dong! Merrily on High (Wilberg), The Holly and the Ivy, The Three Kings (Cornelius) and O Come All Ye Faithful.
The Christmas story is told in the words of the King James Bible and in poems by Rowan Williams, Charles Causley and UA Fanthorpe.

Sounds excellent no matter how many times you hear it.
The glint on the boy's glasses makes it look like he has tears in his eyes.
I have listened to this service for 40 years. This was the best solo first verse I have ever heard. Ethereal and an amazing presence of that young boy. He has a great career ahead of him.
This is the best solo in several years. But I believe that the opening solo by Sam Landman in 2004 is in a class by itself; Sam's voice had an astonishing clarity and was delivered, without artifice, by a very advanced technique.
Toledo1940 Sam was my favorite too, and Edmund (Edmund Rex) in 2000 was my second favorite.
KCC is the BEST CHOIR EVER!!!!
Couldn't agree more!
@@Toledo1940 Do you think so? I didn't think his diction was at all good. Too much tongue. Initially I thought he had a Northern Irish accent! (Nothing against N. Irish accents. No comments please).
@@missasinenomine : Yes, I do think so. That's why I said it!
When this comes on the radio I know Christmas has started love to all watching this wherever you are in the world,stay safe Happy Christmas love and blessings from England UK😊🎇
I listen every year, and I cry every year when this song is sung. It's so beautiful. My dad sang in a boys' choir in an Episcopal Church when he was young.
It's not Christmas until you hear this. Just beautiful.
Beautiful
It's simply beautiful, blessing for you children and young.
nearly 600 years on... and the Glory has not dimmed
As a humanist that was raised a Methodist I still find amazing solace and peace listening to this!
only Catholic is right
Makes me cry every time. Love it.
Beautifully sung as always. The moment the organ joins in, I get goosebumps and when the congregation joins in, the hairs are standing on end even before the end of the final verse.
Beautiful James. God bless, Jake from UK.
Exactly the same, I always get major goosebumps when the organ and congregation all join in, it’s such an amazing warm and familiar sound. Christmas has changed almost beyond recognition for me over the years, but this is the one constant thing that never changes, and I love it for that.
Songs in the Anglican/ Episcopal church are very beautiful
Fantastic descant. RIP to a legend.
Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little child
He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor and meek and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy
And through all
His wondrous childhood
He would honor and obey
Love and watch the lowly mother
In whose gentle arms He lay
Christian children all should be
Mild, obedient, good as He
For He is our child-hood's pattern
Day by day like us He grew
He was little, weak, and helpless
Tears and smiles like us He knew
And He feeleth for our sadness
And He shareth in our gladness
And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone
Not in that poor lowly stable
With the oxen standing by
We shall see Him, but in heaven
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars
His children crowned
All in white shall be around
Thanks for sharing the words. As lovely as this is, I never can understand the words when a choir is singing.
A king is born!!!!!!!
Best carol ever, - the words say it all..... beautiful first verse!!!! XX
As they say better late than never Happy birthday Dr. Cleobury. Just continue with your good work.
Chris Kioko Really belated happy birthday, Dr. Cleobury.
Quote from a belated birthday card I bought:
"I USED TO JUST CRASTINATE,
BUT THEN I DECIDED TO GO PRO."
(I gave that card to my best friend last month and we both think it is hilarious)
By the way, although I loved all the traditional carols, my most favorite was, of course, O Little Town of Bethlehem.
I LOVE FOREST GREEN!Yeaaaaaaah!
Having done this myself in Southwark Cathedral in London, I agree it was absolutely amazing. It is SO nerve wracking being up there, unaccompanied!! That was many many years ago of course lol!
Wow, what an amazing achievement! I am not a great singer but love making the proverbial joyful noise. Being able to sing is such a beautiful gift. I know you've brought joy to many with your voice.
The kid who sang was brave.
The Lord is coming.
Yes, a reflection of the beautiful kingdom of God.
Thank you for this great upload. Best wishes to Dr Stephen Cleobury CBE on his 68th birthday today.
Hard to believe this is Stephen Cleobury's last Christmas at Kings. What a talent. There just HAS to be a Knighthood on his retirement for someone who has given so much to choral music over the years.
R.I:P .He died on saint Cecilia's day 2019.What a loss for music.
Now I need to sing this as a solo in church today
God be praised. This hits like a kick in the teeth.
My daughter was asked to sing this first verse at our service for the past two years. Her voice, by itself, soaring to the highest spaces of the Cathedral. Chills....
It’s November nearly December can’t wait for the ceremony this year!
Will not happen this year
My favorite Christmas song.
A few years later, and about to perform the solo for my service. HHh
I hope it all went well!! Been there, done that. Loved it, will never forget it!!
Once in royal David’s city,
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
*
He came down to earth from heaven,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall;
With the poor and meek and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
*
And through all
His wondrous childhood,
He would honour and obey,
Love and watch the lowly mother,
In whose gentle arms He lay.
Christian children all should be,
Mild, obedient, good as He.
*
For He is our child-hood’s pattern,
Day by day like us He grew,
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew,
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.
*
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle,
Is our Lord in heaven above,
And He leads His children on,
To the place where He is gone.
*
Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
We shall see Him, but in heaven,
Set at God’s right hand on high;
When like stars
His children crowned,
All in white shall be around.
I love the #Descant

Dea Oíche!
Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh! "
Go raibh míle maith agat! Thank you very much!
My parents went to watch this performance live and sing. Does anyone know where you can stream this 2016 performance?
How does he get his voice so high?
those deacons look incredibly young....
This Christmas carol is not familiar to most of us in the USA.
Once a queen ant went to the city, laying eggs and greeting chimps, where a mouse was singing at Christmas, looking for Tiny Tim with the limp. 😁😁🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎃🎃🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🤸♀️🤸♂️🚴♂️⛹️♂️⛹️♂️
Sad that Great British has lost most of it’s Christian heritage.
great not for plonkers
The organist hit a few bum notes in the last verse, which to me, ruined what was a beautiful performance.
