- Hudba
One of my favorite choral pieces. I was lucky to perform it several times at California State University under the great John Alexander
I can never listen to this without crying. It's just breathtaking and moving on the deepest level. Easily one of my favorite pieces of music.
Was lucky enough to perform with my madrigal group my senior year of HS. Remains, to this day, my absolute favorite piece of choral music. I cannot listen to it without chills or tears. It is that effective.
Dr. Young passed away on July 29, 2011 and I shared this video with his wife, Betty today, the day after his memorial. This was NOT arranged by Rutter, but was one of Dr. young's signature pieces. It was beautifully performed and we thank you for leaving this legacy for him. His niece (and former student), Roberta Roberts JoinerRo legacy
I also remember singing this in our Madrigal group in high school. I sure didn't sing like these folks, but very much loved being part of our little group.
Stupendo brano.
wow perfect blend! that piece always gives me goosebumps whether im singing it or not. anything arranged by john rutter is blessed. thank you for reminding me of the unearthly splendors of a resounding choir! i need to start singing again.
I feel honored to be singing this at Carnegie Hall in Febuary! I'm in my school's Chamber Singers, and we were told by our director and instructor that we're performing this song when we go to New York at Carnegie Hall and St. Patrick's cathedral! This is inspiration! Thank you Dr. Young!
I sang this in high school with our small chamber choir and now as a choir director myself I’m programming it on a concert 🥰 the circle of life
My favorite high school memory was singing this with the All-State Choir my senior year. It was so moving, I think half of the singers were tearing up at how beautiful it was to sing this with a group of peers that feel the same way about music as you. It was absolutely perfect.
I heard a rendition of this in Carol Service this evening at St Mary's Church - Fordingbridge, I found it so moving!
Beautiful version of an English medieval Christmas carol. c1420
Beautiful and truly inspiring!
Excellent performance in a perfect setting!
Thank you!
this is the most beautiful setting of the text I have ever encountered. Thank you for posting!
It sounds beautiful here, but in the Cathedral, it is astounding
There is no rose of such virtue
As is the rose that bare Jesu;
Alleluia.
For in this rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space;
Res miranda. (A thing to marvel)
By that rose we may well see
That he is God in persons three,
Pari forma. (Of the same form)
The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis Deo:
Gaudeamus. (Let us rejoice)
Leave we all this worldly mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth;
Transeamus (Let us follow)
Tearful
@JoinerRoberta Hi, Roberta. Thanks so much for your note. I will forward your comment on to Dr. Wynkoop. The Choral Society performs many arrangements by Robert Young, and we are thrilled that you shared this performance with his wife. All best wishes!
Mary-born Lord, humble us so that we also might say, “Let it be with me according to your word"
I'm singing this in my high school top a capella choir. It is very hard, but such a beautiful song.
If you're wondering, i'm in the Bonita High School Chamber Singers, we have some videos here on CZcams. Check them out if you want!
I honestly think he could have done more with the phrasing in the beginning section. He could have used so much rubato to make it not so boring! but the choir sounds lovely!
