The first time I'm hearing this after singing it 45 years ago as a Senior Music Major in college. By far, it is THE HARDEST MUSIC I've ever sung. Honegger's "King David" is a very close 2nd. I remember our conductor chastising us for missing notes, and me raising my hand, almost in tears, saying, "I can't find the tonic note!" Forty-five years later I can appreciate the fact that we were in WAAAYYYY over our heads, but I feel grateful now that we were introduced to a different kind of music that broke a lot of the rules. I do remember that performing King David, with the Birmingham Symphony, being an out-of-body artistic experience. This is a stunning performance of this piece. Wish they had shown the boys choir.
My sisters college choir sang this in 1976 - 47 years ago I think she was a sophomore that year so you are about the same age! I was a sullen 16 yr old forced to go hear my sister sing, and I HATED it....at first. But it's grown on me over time and now it's one of my favorite Christmas cantatas ever. My sister also recalls that learning "The Honegger" as they called it, was very difficult.
Amazing compositioin; Never heard it before: Wonderful musical interpretation. Wonderful boys choir.
This is the best recording of this on YT. I like the lightness and clarity of this video. Critical notes aside, this is one of the most beautiful works I've encountered in recent years. The passage starting after the baritone's solo transports me as few other musical works. Transcendent. Gotta stop commenting now, here comes the finale...
! Right there at 18:00
Here we go! MAGIC!
EDIT Here at Christmas 2022. This must be one of the most underrated compositions ever. It is simply ecstatic. The Bach-like chorale prelude is genius. 18:20 "Oh Lamb of God Most Holy"
.18:59 WHAT THE HELL CHORD IS THAT?!?!? 19:08
19:50 The Big Hollywood receding shot. Amazing
At the end there is no immediate applause. It takes a moment for them to call catch their breaths. What could be a greater compliment
I didn't know Jennifer Lawrence could play the organ! All kidding aside this is one of my favorite works ever and so beautifully done by this orchestra and choir. I wish the sound could've been done better but oh well, still it's such a gorgeous piece and so inspiring to listen to. Well done, Arthur Honeggar!
Oh, I love the recording! More than other versions. It's clear and lovely!
Great music ! 💚💚!
Nice performance, although interesting editing: they chose to show the organist during the climax on the, "Amen" and it at the conclusion where it ends with organ only, the entire ensemble is shown.
And where is the children's choir ?
The first few notes were where John Rutter got the idea for his Requiem
Muito bom!
Good, but sonically there's too much organ and not enough chorus, so the balances are uneven too often.
Traumhaft
Why choristers are dressed in black. It' s not a requiem! They should wear white dresses!
da het euse musiglehrer mal ide tonhalle d soparnstimm gsunge
No, no, the Christmas joy it not there. And the sound engineer should go back to college!
I agree, totally! And there is too much organ emphasis.
