I’m not even a Mormon, and I enjoyed that.

Singing in this was an experience I’ll never forget.
I think we just witnessed a glimpse of what the Heavenly host sounded like who sang to the Shepards near Bethlehem! So Powerful, so Beautiful, so Emotional! And the director looked like an angel up there leading these beautiful people. My highest compliments to all of the performers. It will be one of my favorite songs forever and ever. Thank you.
Thank you BYU! God bless each one of you! The future is in such good hands!
I was at a ""Nordpacificer Sängerfest" in Nanaimo, BC years ago, where amassed German choral societies (Gesangverein) of 550 voices sang "Lied an die Freude". It is an unforgettable experience to be part of such a gathering of singers. I hope this experience was just as memorable for these young people.
❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning. Thank you Heavenly Father for the christmas season.
Merry Christmas everyone.
How beautiful the world would be if there was only singing everywhere. Merry Christmas. Vera from Bohemia.
Happy New Year from Brazil.
True
Awesome! Merry Christmas to all people on earth! May the Lord God grant us the gift of love and peace in our hearts and stop the senseless wars 🙏🙏🙏
The best "Noel" song I've ever heard
Stunning. I listened with my eyes closed and imagined the skies filled with angels praising God and proclaiming the birth of the messiah and Mary holding in her baby in her arms with no full understanding that she was holding the God of creation.
nothing can beat the depth, serene and majestic sound of a huge mass choir.. feels like in heaven..
A heavenly choir of Angels!
550 musicians? such a grand performance.
I used to think Mac Wilburg's arrangement of the First Nowell was the best, but this one is now tied for favorite (in my book). There's even prominent french horns in BOTH, which is so lovely.
This makes me weep only cause it brings me back to a time when I had parents,aunts,uncles and my late sister and her husband today,I am alone and yet I feel an overwhelming sense that I am not. Thank you for this wonderful gem may all have a Merry Christmas and much love from Canada 💜💜💖🙏
This is magnificent!! And thrilling!! Thank you BYU

Beautiful, impressive wonderful group of musicians.
Boże Narodzenie to szczególny czas,który przypomina nam, żebyśmy spotykali się w komunii serc. Niesamowite wykonanie.Piękne wrażenia estetyczne . Dziękuję ❤
I used to sing in a church choir my father singing the Messiah every year at Christmas time........ I would have sung with him but he sang baritone and I sang he continued singing all of his life until he was 80 years with the Barber Shop
Beautiful, powerful praise and worship hymnal, thank you BYU choir.

WOW! JUST WOW! Beautiful job! Merry Christmas Everyone!😲😄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Excellent, beautiful, amazing, great carol, great orchestra, great director, bravo!!!
Most choirs are too small for this. It needs the hushed voices like BYU use in the first voice, but a large choir is then needed to get the volume to sit with a full orchestra.
In short, I love this. Thank you
Awesome singing and Orchestra conducted 🎉❤
Merry Christmas 🎅🌲

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone, let the birth of Jesus be a light to you. Kristo from Indonesia ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful! Thank you!
😁❤️🌲🙏🏻
Praise the Lord
Wow ❤❤❤
When the world is so out of kilter with one another, it’s so wonderful to hear this wonderful carol. May 2024 be a time that peace and not conflict rules. Hatred and division needs to be brought under control everywhere. Our natural planet is dying we need to concern ourselves on that, not petty dictators/ bullies. Turn your backs on those persons they don’t care for you and your country but only their own self so called importance.
I sure wish I was there to hear this marvelous performance. Bravo!
Wow!!! SO BEAUTIFUL! Love the arrangement, voices, and orchestra. Choir director shows passion in the music.
Thank you!!!
An amazing piece of musical joy for this special Christmas season! Thank you all.
I love BYU
Outstanding

INDONESIA love THIS SONG GOD BLESS US
thank you Jesus my Lord God amen.
