- To celebrate the Christmas season we've recorded a few of our favourite Christmas carols, for you to sing along with us from your homes. For Christmas Day (in what is certainly an unusual year for Christmas celebrations in the UK) we've decided to release this medieval carol, 'Gaudete' in an arrangement by our former bass Brian Kay. We've also included the score, for those of you who fancy joining our ranks for a couple of minutes!

Patrick Dunachie - countertenor
Edward Button - countertenor

This made me feel better about being a Baritone heh
?
I adore both contratenors, they sound like sopranos, like me, this made me feel proud about being a soprano
Seriously, that is one sexy voice!
This comment is a complete mood haha
As a former barbershop singer, I can safely say, without fear of contradiction, that anyone can sing tenor, lead, or bass, depending on their range and timbre, but it takes a musician to sing baritone.
Oh how atmospheric and Mediaeval and lovely.....and they all look so happy. Wonderful performance. ❤️🤗😘☀️
Being 77 I was a great fan of the original singers and bought their records! I have lapsed over the years but coming across this fantastic song, I’m a fan once more. I shall be listening to this time and time again. Thank you for putting this on TH-cam.
Yikes I can't stop listening to this!! Those soloists have the most beautiful voices!!!!
Such a beautiful rendition, the mix of the baritones and counter tenors does something magical to the harmonics that just makes everything so much more powerful. I have replayed this more than 50 times just today, I even keep telling myself this is the last one but then can't help replaying it again.
This is my favorite recording of this piece. ❤️
Favourite.
You are angelic voices and great souls. Thanks from Italy 🇮🇹 Maria
wow I sung this ages ago in my chorister days and I'd completely forgotten that this song existed. my jaw literally dropped when I heard it again. absolutely brilliant
This literally happened to me. I’m still trying to figure out when I sang it I have no clue 😂
"Gaudete! Gaudete! Christus est natus ex Maria Virgine. Gaudete!". Bellissima scelta.
Grazie! Vi voglio tanto bene. Buon Natale.
I love singing along to this--any time of year.
Oh my gosh, this is literally one of my favorite piece that I've heard in the King Singer's rep. with the previous line up, so I can't wait to hear it!! It'll be like opening a Christmas gift.
Edit: Indeed it was!! Beautiful as always gentlemen! Also, I LOVE the 1st Countertenor part doubling the octave at the end of the piece!
Same for me. I love it. Check out „Pettite Camusette” from Des Prez album.
@@jakubfigiel3197 Will do!
Flawless presentation. Great ensemble work. Everyone has their moment to shine.
Talent and Harmony in Spades! And BEAUTIFUL looking young men...voices of Angels...sooooo fine➕🤍‼️➕🕯😍😍😍😍😍
The Perfect Christmas Gift. Thank You Gentlemen🎵
A gift for any time of the year!
A worthy contribution to the collection of Christmas carols/chants/anthems we have all come to welcome, especially in times of a pandemic when the spirit of hope is dashed in the lives of so many. As a retired priest and Latin teacher, their enunciation of the Latin was clear and matches that of all of us who were trained in both Latin and Gregorian Chant - the same being used to this day in Gregorian chant. The counter tenor work was much appreciated as well.
I sang this a few years ago. It's one of my favourites to do in a good choir. This choir is magnificent.
Thanks for the many gifts this year if 2020- one of the best things this year has brought have been virtual concerts!!!! Merry Christmas!
une pure onction de joie et de candeur, que Dieu nous garde en partageant des moments comme celui ci !
I first enjoyed this from the Steeleye Span Group in the 70s. Great version here - especially with the lyrics in the background. Thanks to you All!
+1
Just listening to that now (Twelfth Night!) - so beautiful.
Me too. I've always loved the Steeleye Span version. I play it every Christmas and can still picture their video they showed on Top of the Pops.
Just listened to this and it made me smile so thank you, uplifting
Don't understand a single word. But you guys sound like angels.
Rough translation:
Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary - Rejoice!
The time of grace has come - what we have wished for; songs of joy let us give back faithfully
God h as become man, with nature marvelling, the world has been renewed by the reigning Christ
The closed gate of Ezekiel is passed through, whence the light is risen; salvation has been found
Therefore, let our assembly now sing in brightness. Let it bless the Lord: salvation to our King.
@@brycepattiesThank you for your translation. Very good!
Thank you so much for this. I used to sing it in my school choir 40 years ago, but haven't heard it since. Love it!
Could listen all day long!
Reminds me a lot of a Spanish piece from the 16th century called Riu Riu Chiu.
I love riu!
Love both of them ❤️
I'm sure you have seen this, but you know, here's Riu Riu Chiu th-cam.com/video/eJioq-VLxHE/w-d-xo.html
Merry Christmas!
I've enjoyed an older version of this piece performed by The King's Singers from A Little Christmas Music for many years, but Countertenor 1 makes this one absolutely sublime! My new favourite. Bravo!
EXQUISITE!!!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! LOVE IT! EXTRAORDINARILY BEAUTIFUL VOICES!❤
Que harmonia das vozes! Mas o mais cativante são eles cantando sorrindo! Transmitem alegria e prazer em estar cantando 🥰
Beautiful... 🥰🥰🥰
Greetings from Brasil.
I am listening, and I am smiling. Beautiful ❤🙏
¡ es un destello escucharlos ! , ¡ Que don les dió la Divinidad a vuestras gargantas ! Y cómo nos ayudan a elevar nuestro espíritu . Infinitas gracias
Fantastic! And these guys are great to hang out with, fun and totally down to earth.
Love this song. My sisters and I sang this once for a Christmas event. I remember we did one of the verses as a round.
May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
May it be sweet milk,
this marriage, like wine and halvah.
May this marriage offer fruit and shade
like the date palm.
May this marriage be full of laughter,
our every day a day in paradise.
May this marriage be a sign of compassion,
a seal of happiness here and hereafter.
May this marriage have a fair face and a good name,
an omen as welcomes the moon in a clear blue sky.
I am out of words to describe
how spirit mingles in this marriage.
A favourite since the mid 70s! This is a superb version. But now I want to listen to Steeleye Span version that switched me on to it way back then.
Saw them live, three times and they sang this little ditty! Maddy Prior is a wonder!
Did you know they play the steeleye span version to the guests at Guantanamo Bay? Apparently it breaks down barriers and encourages conversations :)
Rejoice! Wonderful piece and performance.
I love Gaudete so much! Such amazing choir too! ❤️
Thank you for sharing! 😍🙏
BEAUTIFUL!
I LOVE this. SO MUCH.
stunning
A beautiful piece of music. Great voices & very well sung. Love the counter tenors double octave at the end. Fantastic
Best Version I've ever heard. You made it brilliant, Gentlemen! Merry Christmas!
I actually haven't heard this piece before, but it is great. The arrangement definitely has some "Riu Riu Chiu" vibes
Very astute
Beautiful Music, cruel lyrics!
Don't think this song will EVER die .
I love this song I first heared it with Maggie Pryer but this is geart and nice to see the words too
Bravo et merci pour ce chant joyeux en cette belle journée de Noël. Bonnes fêtes à tous
Beautiful, I used to perform this version with a rock band in the 1970s, always went down a storm.
Great counter tenor and bass...good job men.
Weltklasse! ;)
i listened to Gaudete Shreds too much and i half-expected to hear that with this video hahahaha
Wonderfull!

I absolutely love this, so full of joy and life. Great!
Stunningly beautiful. English culture at it's best.
C'est absolument génial.

I am not a fan of this kind of music. BUT I am replaying this video over and over again. I can not help myself. Brilliant!❤
Gorgeous. Such crisp rhythm
Bravo!
AMEN!! Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
That was great to have a singalong with…took me back to my youth xxx
God is awesome! Glorify Him because He is so gorgeous. This composition explodes of joy and glory. God bless you! Excellent vocals!
Fantastic! I've known an older King's Singers' recording of this gem for a long time, and it inspired me to perform it with a few fellow singers at our Church ten or so years ago. It's fun to listen to, but also a lot of fun to perform, and it isn't too hard.
Super !!!
My lovely song long time
wow great work here - and yes, I did sing along with the score - thank you for posting it!
I’ll take all of that
So schön altmodisch ,so muss weihnachten klingen ,die weihnachtliche poplalle bekommt bei mir die rute !m

This is fantastic! If you guys aren't in the same room, I dunno how you're matching each other so well, but it's even more amazing!
U know, computers and audio mixing
Beautiful arrangement. The switching of the time signatures is a little trippy but awesome

I love to join you in singing carols! You were great at the ceremony of lessons and carols at Kings College Cambridge!
After 40 years loving the Steeleye Span version, I have room for this. And did they take it up a fifth? Ooooh.
That was absolutely gorgeous! I love all the harmonies and was able to sing along because you posted the sheet music. Thank you
Lovely ! Well sung, boys.
Superbe!
