“The Chosen” is the BEST depiction of Jesus, His stories, and His life we have EVER seen. It is a LIFE CHANGING series that we and our families have enjoyed immensely. So we jumped at the chance to join the Chosen’s Christmas Special that this video will be a part.

Story:
Have you ever wondered who made the Manger? Was he an average carpenter barely making ends meet? Or was he someone extra special, destined to build the birthplace of Christmas? Did he think he was carving a run-of-the-mill wooden box to hold hay for a few animals to eat? Or did he, or she, somehow know that this particular feeding trough was meant to hold something much more -- to hold Someone who would feed five thousand with five loaves of bread?
This wooden box for a time did hold hay, and must have looked and seemed simple and remarkably ordinary.
Until God touched it.
For us, this is one of the many messages of this Christmas Hymn we present to you.
“What Child is This?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing.”
This is Jesus, born in the humblest of circumstances and yet born with the ability to overcome the world. Born under the brightest star ever seen, but so meekly as to ask an obscure carpenter to carve his bed and to share it with animals. This is Jesus, powerful enough to command angels, but so concerned with the worth of every soul, especially those overlooked, that he would ask shepherds instead to guard him as he slept; a King of countless subjects whose birth would change the reckoning of time itself, and yet a homeless teacher who spent all of His time to heal the one.
This is Jesus, who can touch something entirely ordinary and make it extraordinary -- who can touch any willing soul, labeled as worthless by the world, and make it priceless.
We’ve seen this happen. This is why we believe. And why, despite so many mistakes we’ve made and so many lopsided mangers we’ve attempted to carve, we still strive to follow this advice:
“Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He can deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, and pour out peace.” (Ezra Taft Benson)
While Jesus Christ, His story and His life mean so much to us, we don’t mean for this video to be exclusively “religious” or make anyone feel left out. On the contrary, we hope that this only brings peace, no matter who you are, where you are watching, or what you believe. We hope that the spirit of this music can transcend traditional religious lines and its spirituality can be felt by all who need a little serenity this Christmas Season.
Merry Christmas.
Where is this filmed?
We were especially thrilled to be able to return to the same Jerusalem set where we filmed “O Come O Come Emmanuel,” ( • O come, O come, Emmanu... ), hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is now the set of the series The Chosen, a show which we are honored and excited to be able to promote.

A PianoGuys album
I’ve struggled lately. I’ve struggled to find beauty. I’ve struggled to find peace in this season. But sometimes all it takes is a simple song. The beauty of music has been and forever will be a binding force for good in the world. And this song alone reminded me that there is good. This song alone reminded me of what peace feels like. Thank you. Thank you for bringing this beauty to the world. You never know who or what or how you impact people... this time know that you have. Merry Christmas. You guys are great.
❤️❤️❤️
What an absolutely perfect and heart-felt response Bryce..I am sure that you have spoken for many people who are experiencing what you are....I too had to really dig deep to find peace in this season. One thing that literally changed my perspective this season was when my grandson got quarantined on Dec 23 for 7 days...it reminded me of how felt when I heard the news of the World Trade Centers in 2001..I could hardly breathe, I couldn't speak, I couldn't feel..I just sat there in my truck and tried to comprehend what I was hearing...forward to my grandson being quarantined...it seemed as my life just stopped, nothing else mattered, not the gifts, not the Christmas dinner, not the decorations,,,all that mattered was when I will see my grandson again. He is my life. My second blessing only to my daughter who is my first. I listened to The Piano Guys and Libera (another favorite of mine) throughout the whole time my grandson was away...I was able to find some peace, but wasn't whole again...not until New Years Day- when I got to see and hug my grandson again...at that exact point in time, I realized ....just what is important.
Praise the Lord
Emmanuel means "God with us". Jesus born to save us from our sinful nature. I pray for those who do not know Him that He will Come To Them in thisChristmas season.
Wow. Never heard of an electric chelo
What child is this? He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. My Savior!
❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Merry Christmas!
Merry christmas!
And a happy new year
Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas
I don't know whether you guys are reading this, or not. But, if you are, you are amazing!! In my opinion, Paul should be given Oscar award for amazing cinematography skills. Every music video of yours just relaxed my soul.
So true! Paul is MacGyver with a DSLR. We had some extra help on this one from “The Chosen” production team. Props to them!
So glad you’re working with The Chosen and so glad you are all able to be on the Goshen set. Superb.
@@thepianoguys that's so cool!
Me: Lazy to practice my piano
*After listening to The Piano Guys
Me: Gonna practice 48 hours a day.
Don't lie hahaha, we all know we still ain't gonna practice
Yoooo literally
@@Lisa.H. lol yeah I gave it up you got me haha
@@Lisa.H. After some time...
Also me: Still lazy to practice haha....zzzZZZZ
@@mremmm2490 ahaha
Thanks Piano Guys for helping us to give glory to God with your beautiful music. May God bless you all abundantly.
Yes! Our examples have been J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Handel and so many of the greats that gave glory to God through their music first. “Soli Deo gloria.” Merry Christmas and God bless you too. Thank you, Karmingiry!
Happy holidays,🌹🌼🌷🌞☀️
This is the kind of music humanity needs, it'll reduce many of us to tears. Great job guys, you did it again!
So sweet. Thank you Ardalan.
It did.
Your music is my happy place. When I’m having a bad day, can’t sleep, or can’t get my 5 month old nephew to stop crying, I just play your music and my entire soul relaxes, my nephew stops crying, and I am at peace. I am obsessed with your music
This reminds me what Christmas is really about. The birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Nah, it's about presents.
this Music take me to the era I do not belong and I’d like to stay
Your heart belongs there. 😌
Who listens even if it’s not Christmas?
Beautiful song of Christ's birth done so beautifully by the Piano Guys!! Thank you!!!!!
This song brought tears to my eyes. Just when I think your music can’t get more beautiful or rich, you 10x it!
10 years before i listened you first time and after i start the learned the piano.Now i am music teacher.Thank you from to turkey piano guys yours change my life.
you are the Son of God and are with us Lord this day!!!!
メリークリスマス！
時々、彼らは妖精じゃないのかと、本気で思ってしまいます。
幻想的で、美しい響き💖
ありがとう🙏💖
Expressions and tears of gratitude that He left His heavenly glory to come here and live the 100% perfect life that stands in place of my wretched life, and to take God's just punishment for my sins. What an amazing Savior! What amazing grace!
a quote from a very famous musician- "without music life would be a mistake" i completely agree merry Christmas God bless you all
Hey Piano Guys, you probably won’t see this, but I just wanted to say that you’re awesome! Keep up the good work! Merry Christmas!
👀❤️❤️
Merry Christmas
They saw this
Merry Christmas everyone !! 🎄🎁💕
@@thepianoguys you guys rock! Feliz Navidad
I would have brought all of my vulnerability. Jesus came into this world as a vulnerable Baby, and I would bring all "that I have planned that has gone undone, all the reasons I have to be embarrassed and ashamed: just take everything exactly as it is, put it in God's hands and leave it with him. Then will I be able to rest in him-really rest- and start the next day a new life." -part in quotations based on quote from St. Benedicta of The Cross
'O Lord, you came into this world as a vulnerable Baby, be with the most vulnerable now. ' -from a novena for those with covid-19
I hope that everyone reading has a wonderful Advent and God Bless!!!
The descant is absolutely gorgeous.
Hearing this video brought tears to my eyes. It's been seven years since my mother passed away, 2 days before Christmas 2013. When I was small, and she still played the piano, she would often play this song. It's what got me into playing piano myself. Hearing this made me think of her all over again. Thank you for helping me to remember something so precious.
All I want for Christmas is a cover from Piano Guys.
“As you wish!” 😁😉
@@thepianoguys Thank you so much for the heart. Keep up with your great work! Best wishes! 😁😁
I love The Chosen AND The Piano Guys!! What a great mix!
We love The Chosen too!
If daybreak was a sound, I think this is what it would sound like.🌅
Thank you - again - The Piano Guys for sharing your gifts. 👏🏻🎬🎼🎁🎄💖
Thanks SO much! ❤️
What a beautiful, poetic, above-and-beyond compliment. Thank you Cheryl!
@@thepianoguys~ After all you have gifted me with over these many years, I’m glad to be a mirror and shine it back to you! 😉💖
Merry Christmas, thanks for beautiful sound

This is what we need: music that we need to come to rest - thank you...
This piece is so beautiful. I really feel that it's music like this that helps us take a step back and realize that God is a whole lot bigger than any hardship we are facing in a year like this, and that every day, every person, every song, is by His perfect design. Thank you Piano Guys, and Merry Christmas!
That was so touching. Even though I love the cello, I loved that the piano wasn't buried, but instead held equal ground. Your music took me there, to that wonderous night, in that beautiful place. Thank you for this special gift that brought the spirit of Him who we celebrate.
I’m playing “What Child Is This,” on piano for my family. I’m fairly new at piano so I’m playing the beginner version. Beautiful song.
The only gift I have that’s fit for the King is my love and devotion to serve Him.
Great job on the video.
Have a holly jolly Christmas!!!
The gift of music, like the little drummer boy. The beauty of the God and his creation can be felt through the emotions that music fills the soul with.Thank you for the gift of beautiful music Piano Guys!
I tend to be a practical person, so in that moment I would have brought clothing and necessities. I like to think that after arriving at the stable, I would sense the awesome awareness of God's presence and give Him all my worship.
My grandfather was in the Tabernacle Choir (when it was still called the Mormon Tabernacle Choir) and one of their travels was to Jerusalem. One of the places they got to sing at was where the Angel Gabriel appeared to the shepherds. He realized then that he and many of us were there before, as the singing angels that rejoiced when Christ was born. 💕✨
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄 Jesus is the reason for the season! Praise the Lord God Almighty for Jesus to be born so He can live among us to die for us so we shall live with Him for all eternity!! Glory and praise in the highest hallelujah our king has come!!👑🙌🛐✝️🙏🤲
Hello, Piano Guys,
I was so excited to see you participating in THE CHOSEN Christmas concert last night! After giving up on most Christmas music specials years ago, Dallas Jenkins and his guests really exceeded my expectations. The icing on the cake was this performance by the Piano Guys! Glory be to God and Jesus Christ. Christmas blessings, Arnold and Maria
My dear Piano Guys,
Firstly as a poetry lover, I was well fed up by description, which was full of literature that blesses my soul, full of God. Thank you so much for making this awesome music and help me not only study, but have peace in my soul too.
I really wish you have the most awesome Christmas this year, let aside every difficulty, it's a happy time, for all.
Your music is always inspiring
Merry Christmas
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this comment! ❤️
Steven Sharp Nelson thank you for your testimony coming through your music. I wish I could express mine do powerfully.
God has blessed you both with superlative talent. Continue to use it to glorify Him, the great I AM.
Merry Christmas to all. May we never forget the reason for this season which is Christ THE LORD. May we receive HIM in our hearts as LORD and Saviour.
I would’ve brought a blanket that I would’ve made from wool to keep the the lord warm. Thank you for making this video it has brought the Christmas spirit to my home during this struggles of no money to get things for my child this year for Christmas
It's God's child, because everything you play is just heavenly.
At this point in my life the intangible gift I would bring is gratitude, because I know all good things are because of Christ. A tangible gift I would bring the baby Christ would be anything to ease the burdens of his situation at the time of his birth... maybe a warm blanket. What a thought provoking question!
"For the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." I do not have anything like gold, frankincense, or myrrh, not an angelic voice and robes to sing praises, nor a drum to play for him with. I would bring my faith, my soul, and my hope to the little Christ child.
Beautiful, excellent rendition. Is it wrong that it brings back fond memories of How the West was Won? I hope not. Gorgeous.
The electric cello almost has a reed instrument quality to its sound. Beautiful!!
I thought it like a cross between a cello & an oboe.
❤❤❤
@@revdrkathleenraphaelddlpn2357 Bruh
The gift of love and peace to all! ❤️
my poetry - as it was God who gave this gift. xo and deep deep love
So Beautiful as always and you’r so awesome for playing for the Chosen as well what are great Movie for this day and age we all need Jesus in our life’s especially now 🥰
I'm always looking forward to Christmas because the pianoguys will always post a video this time of year :D Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas to you Nate! We LOVE this time of year too!
Merry Christmas to you, too!
Dito😊
Thank you 😊
One of my all-time favorite carols, presented with love by two of my all-time favorite musicians.
I must play this for my piano lesson. But there it is called Greensleeves. This is on the melody of it.
Same melody! Good luck with piano lessons. Don’t give up! It gets harder before it gets better, but it gets SOOOOO good! Hang on! And Merry Christmas!
Ah thanks for your reaction! I like my piano lessons! I'll do my very best!
@@thepianoguys Such an inspiration tip you gave, give us a little hope to get better.
I have a piano version somewhere titled "What Child is This". It is for beginners but also has the lyrics
I honestly think this is the most beautiful arrangement of this song I’ve ever heard!
Breathaking, beautiful, peaceful. One of my favorite Christmas carols!
“For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).
To all those of many faiths; music like this, inspired by man's eternal search to come closer to his God is all you need to know to believe that God is there for us all.Thanks Piano Guys for a wonderful rendition of a much loved carol. Merry Christmas!
It would not have been expensive, assuming I was poor, it would probably have to be homemade. The softest most beautiful blanket I could make
Прекрасная музыка в прекрасном исполнении! Браво!
Мы очень ценим это. Спасибо.
A hug for Mary.
Each pure note shines through your faces as you play, and touches my soul. Thank you for this gift.
Stephen, you told me once that you strive to match Jon's musicality. Here, you were so evenly matched! Your instruments sang so beautifully together! This is my favorite carol!
This leads us to think of the hope and faith in during this pandemic
My great grandmother was born in Bethlehem- such a beautiful version. Bravo!
One of my favorite versions of this songs now has a beautiful video to go along with it. Thank you for bringing me to tears again!
Just now seeing this and I love the piano with the cello just beautiful and I like the background scenery it gives you more a Christmas/Biblical feel!!
Jesus loves you
If my heart were a musical instrument, it would be a cello. The exquisite sweetness of the electric cello here expresses what my heart would say to the Lord. Beautiful! Thank you.
God bless you The Piano Guys! I am from Brazil.
God bless you too Danielle!
This is so beautiful! I think you just melted my soul.
Love the music, and the videography, and of course Steven's smile, he always looks so happy when he plays, and it is beautiful.
Your music makes my heart sing. I love finding music that not only makes me happy, but helps me feel Gods love. That you have done! Thank you 🥲
Humility and thankfulness, praise.
This is such a beautiful setting
It was set of our video “O Come Emmanuel” which is now the set for “The Chosen”! If you haven’t seen the Chosen you HAVE to check it out. Life changing series that we love!
Oh man! I love it! I always feel the spirit when you guys play, but this time, I had to choke back tears! I also play cello, but I'm still learning, so when I heard this song, I was like, WOW he shifts so good! Keep it up guys! You are so so so talented!
This comment meant a lot to me! Thank you!
@@thepianoguys You are so very welcome!
Your comment meant a lot to me too! I was literally jumping up and down on my feet! And my smile was so big I'm guessing it was bigger than my face! Thank you!
My love, soul and service.
Thank goodness I finally found this song. I was humming this the whole day. I'm glad that Google understood my humming.
This is so peaceful and breathtaking 🥺❤️
Mágico!
Divino!.
SOU GRATA. 🙏🏻❤
im not religious, but cant deny this song is an absolute bop
I know it's been four years, but knowing Jon's daughter died makes seeing his face as he's playing bring tears to my eyes.
It was great to see you on The Chosen Christmas Special last night! Merry Christmas and God bless! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Beautiful!
Thank you so much for the music! Merry Christmas and be blessed - from my family to all of yours. You bring joy in troubled times...
Tears of joy and an open heart
Absolutely loved it!!
May the Lord our God Jesus Christ continue to bless you, so that we may continue to enjoy you beautiful compositions.
That was beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
My 10 month old absolutely loves this, and now she can clap, is showing her approval accordingly. Great job, guys.
This is so soothing and that mystery, of people wondering about baby Jesus is so beautifully portrayed..Thank you❤️
Love it. Thank you so much!
I'm a sucker for any song that has this tune, like "Greensleeves." Beautiful!
Yep, I know this as "Greensleeves. One of my favorite songs!
This December month shall be like None other!
May the Love and grace and peace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with all, brothers and sisters!
🙏✝️✡️
Merry Christmas to you all and your family's ❤
Beautiful ! This is just what we need right now 💗
I love Greensleeves! This was so good, guys!
I could only bring myself, along with adoration, gratitude, and praise.
This was beautiful, Piano Guys! Very peaceful and worshipful.
My heart. What else could I give that would be more meaningful?
Such a beautiful song and video. Thank you for bringing a feeling of peace into my day.
Im playing this at my concert tonight and i am exited. Thank you for setting the mood! Merry Christmas! Love all of u! Stay safe and healthy!
But i would give him all my love. ❤ ❤
Sending a prayer for your performance! Thank you for playing our arrangement ❤️
Music is a gift from God. Thank you Lord, for the gift of music, and for skilled musicians like these gentlemen, who can touch our hearts and souls through the beauty of music. Amen. 🎶🎹🙏🙏
Beautiful music. I love the shots of Jon's hands when he is playing, they look so elegant and graceful when he plays.
