The "Coventry Carol" is a Christmas carol dating from the 16th century. The carol was performed in Coventry in England as part of a mystery play called The Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors. - Zábava
How clever; this would never occur to me to do. I am singularly impressed not only by the skill of his rendetion, but to have even conceived of the concept to sing each part, and then put it together in the computer is nothing short of brilliant.
I'm really happy you enjoyed this one and appreciate my videos on all these different levels. I'm curious to know how adding my visual has changed your perception of the audio. Do my colors match yours? Does my body motion correspond to the energy you felt in the song? Does it overall add / take away / change? Much to talk about. Joyeux Noël to you and see you tomorrow for the FINAL Christmas tune. :)
It doesn't just sound like it, it's exactly the core of the story: the King Herod sent his men to kill all children.
Raising the third of triad (usually the last chord of the piece) one half-step. Here, the entire song was in a minor key, but the very last chord was in a major key. The effect is sometimes called a "brightening resolution" or a "happy ending."
Glad you enjoyed what you heard! Please share with friends, spread the music! :)
I performed a version similar to this with a Highschool choir. This is the closest I’ve seen that’s matched it. Very well done
@@LordWyattDo you remember which one you sang exactly? Because I want my teacher to teach us this song.
@@kaalen_wilson I don’t unfortunately but it was very slow. Faster ones are enjoyable but focusing on each note breaks my heart in a way others cannot.
Robert Croo wrote the earliest version in 1534, and the oldest known setting of the melody dates from 1591. There are alternative, modern settings of the carol by Kenneth Leighton, Philip Stopford and Michael McGlynn. Good luck 👍
@@LordWyatt Ohh, that's okay, thanks for the response! I just remember SSAA version John Rutter.
This is the first time I've heard this song done by a man, but you did it so beautifully, so very beautifully, it brought tears to my eyes, just as it does when women sing it. Lovely, touching and poignant. Kudos!
I thought I knew every christmassy song in the world. Turns out I didn't. It has a bit of a 20's/30 close harmony twang to it. Totally reminds me of the Comedian Harmonists. I totally love it! Finally a beautiful bare-to-the-bones version without cathedral-style reverb. I'm looking for different versions of this song as I'm totally inspired to create a chiptune commodore-64 version of the song.
Your voice is wonderful! Thank you for the beautiful performance!)))
Your tone is so clear. Excellent job!
Thanks Jeanie. :)
So cool. I sang a choral arrangement of this in middle school, but the lyrics were different. Definitely in my favorites of choral Christmas songs, terrific job with the resolve!
Lovely. One of my favorite carols, superbly rendered.
Cher Juliens, votre côté amusant ne tient debout qu' en sachant qu'il a un équivalent grave, comme vous venez de le présenter. Merci a tous!
Wow...I am stuned by how amazing you sung that! Thank you for all the wonderful work you do. All the time you put into these song are very apprieciated! cant wait for tomorrows video!
I wasn't tired until i heard this. Now I need a nap. Thanks for the sleepy music!
we sing this for choir ... my favorite piece !! ^_^
Isn't it everyone's favorite piece?
Yes, the Picardy third is meant to have this effect. The carol is pretty heavy in its harmonization and lyrics, a major chord is a softer way to finish the piece on a sweeter note.
For those who haven't purchased Julieen's two Christmas albums, do it now. I did and I don't regret it; there's not a track that isn't great. You can't help but feel the Christmas spirit as you listen to his music. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, one and all!
Cher Juliens, désolé de ne pas avoir réussi à m'exprimer clairement du premier coup, même s'il n'y avait pas de traduction automatique... D'après mon experience, la plupart de vos vidéos se terminent en grand sourire, ce qui souligne leur charactère amusant. Votre Coventry Carol par contre vous montre tristes, graves et même furieux (si ce n'est qu'une seconde); c'est la raison pour laquelle je me réjouis d'autant plus de vous revoir de bonne humeur la prochaine fois!
I meant to add that I haven't heard this carol in a long time, and I like it a lot. I was singing along.with you. :)
I love these videos. Such a beautiful man with an equally beautiful voice.
Thanks! You'll find this song and many more on my two Christmas albums (links in the video description above). :)
No greater harmonies than your own voice..
Lovely :)
Wow Julien that was so powerful. Your face really tells a story. It has been so interesting to be familiar with the tunes from the album but then see the vid later because it can completely change my interpretation. Beautiful dude, thanks.
My pleasure, thank you for taking a moment to write, much appreciated.
You'll find many other songs on my albums, I haven't publised them all on CZcams.
It's a device known as a Tierce de Picardie (or Picardy third). It involves finishing with the major chord when throughout the piece it has finished with minor chord cadences (i.e raising the 3rd of the chord by a minor second / semi-tone).
You can edit 4 videos together with Sony Vegas Pro / Studio. The effect is called "split screen", you'll find plenty of tutorials on the web.
Thank you, delighted you're enjoying all these releases. :)
Do share the videos you like with your friends, it's a great way to support my work. Now's the season!
Danke schön Anette und Frohe Weihnachten! :)
We sang this for concert choir, it was just in a weird time signature, everything we did for concert choir this Christmas Concert was in weird time signatures.
My favorite Christmas carol since childhood and playing the recorder in my English primary school! Thanks for the amazing rendition!
Thank you for commenting on all my videos, I really appreciate it.
I know I've been releasing a lot lately, and I suppose people are getting accustomed to it, but it's always nice for me to hear your feedback for all this work I put into my craft.
Last Christmas video coming tomorrow! :)
Thank you Vern, real nice of you to say. I'll certainly add another volume next year, if I can manage the time (the hours I put into these two albums are insane...). Merry Christmas and here's to a creative & productive CZcams year of 2013 to us both! :)
You bet, glad you enjoyed it. :)
I havent heard this song before and I do like it. Thanks
I often enjoy, rarely comment, but the Picardy 3rd was so perfect at the end of the seldom-sung "Coventry Carol" that I had to chime in. I'm not the first to mention it, I see, but I don't care. Julien, you're a wonder! Wonderful repertoire, perfect arrangements, amazing coordination that makes me forget sometimes that you are actually NOT four men...I just can't get enough. Thanks for brightening my Christmas.
Technically excellent!
the traditional 3 part arrangement of this carol is absolutely gorgeous, with some lovely false relations :) very interesting to hear a barbershop arrangement!
You bet Ron, delighted you enjoyed them. All the best to you and your loved ones for the Holidays. :)
I'm amazed at all the Christmas carols you've put out this season, and on a daily basis. Wow. And they are all great, I post them to Google+ and FB! Thanks for all your hard work, after tomorrow's vid take a break and enjoy the holidays, may they be blessed ones for you!
Cheers Cathy! :)
Merry Christmas Julien. Thanks for this great video. -Ron
i did not remember how dark this song was .-.
I remember singing this with my choir at school and when we listened to it on the CD each time we said "the little, tiny child," there was a baby whining in the background. It was so hilarious.
Everytime i´m listening to your different songs i just think "this man is so crazy, every sound is just perfect!" Especially in this song!
Thumbs up for Mister Neel! :)
Haha, thanks Julie! :)
Merry Christmas! One last video coming today! :)
Wonderfully and respectfully done, and the Picardy third (tierce Picarde) is properly sung at the final cadence. It should be noted that Coventry Carol is not explicitly a Christmas song; it is sung on December 28 in honor of the Holy Innocents - children of Bethlehem slain in a quest by King Herod to kill the baby Jesus Christ. See Matthew 2:16-18. Your marvelous rendition elicits maudlin to orthodox Christians who know what happened. Blessings.
I am a music teacher and choral director, and I want to say that this might be the most pretentious comment I have ever read.
Well bless your little heart. I am a musician, a coral director, an organist, a bass guitar player, a southern American gentleman, and well schooled in the matters of which I opined some years ago. Moreover, I have never in my life been accused of pretense, and such remarks are taken with umbrage. The above, unwelcome remark has no bearing or logic, seeing that my comment merely comprises a compliment followed by a brief presentation of factual information. It is suggested that one look it up and learn something, then go study some manners, upon which you might consider deleting the spurious, impetuous, odious comment. Then I will remove mine. Fair nuff?
Wonderful ! Greetings from England.
I was in Coventry yesterday it's a dull grey industrial city these days :
Coventry is dull and grey today also wet and windy. I shall have a cup of tea, play music and be industrious (maybe).❤
Bravo! You've got an amazing voice!
I'm surprised you don't hear the bass enough, it's rather loud actually. It's also quite low (several low F2s). I guess it really depends which speakers you use.
Ah, I will miss the high frequency of your upload rate! It really made my winter so far. Showed it to my family and friends, they were impressed.
Lol I don't know what this is but my names Lulay so I like it
its an old Christmas carol
?i also don't know what this is , but i think this name "lully"name of the king of old. you know any old story for this
It's actually a super dark story. After Jesus was born, King Herod heard there was a king born and he thought it would challenge his power, so he ordered that all of the infants to be killed (since he didn't know which one was the supposed King). It's known as the Slaughter of the Innocents. Mary and Joseph, however, escaped to Egypt, so Jesus was safe. The song is a mom singing to her dead baby
Breathtaking performance.
You always amaze me with the sound that exits your mouth! True talent my friend!
Thank you for sharing. :)
I've added subtitles on all 12 Christmas videos I released this month. Looks like you have some catching up to do today! :)
I never heard that song before It's a beautiful and very moving carol.Great job!
I love that picardy third!
Drop by tomorrow for the final video!
Make sure you check out my Christmas playlist (on my channel page), in case you missed any. :)
This is one of my favorite Christmas hymns. So beautiful. Would love to have you sing in my church choir on Christmas Eve. I think I'll send for you. Start packing ;)
One of the best! This is why I love your work
Very relaxing!
I don't normally mind a beautiful ending, but I found that when the entire song sounds in Minor Key, I would expect the ending to follow. If I were to perform this piece, I would just end with a Minor chord. I have to admit, though: the more that I listen to this, the more that I am actually starting to like the ending. :)
We sang a slight different arrangement of this song in school and it was really fun except I'm an alto so it went WAY too deep! I really liked listening to your arrangement. :3
Julien Neel? You make me smile!! Well done!!
Joyeux Noël, Julien ! ;)
Great, thanks! Pass it on to a friend, spread the music! :)
Ah! Te revoilà ! :)
Joyeux Noël et vivement 2013 pour plein de nouveaux projets musicaux !
Wow that was awesome. Great harmony.
I disagree with those who don't like the major ending. It's a perfect place for using a Picardy Third (Tierce de Picardie), and adds some amount of bittersweet beauty to a piece.
It's a 16th century English carol. It's all in the video description. And Wikipedia is your friend too. :)
That was so calming :) I love this sort of song. Great job, as always, Julien!
Well I'm in the girls' choir (in a girls' school) and we sung this with a different arrangement and I really enjoyed yours. :3 I'm a second alto, however, and the song went too deep! :( ah well, it was fun. :)
Beautiful beautiful!!
wow you’re positively talented
We do this song when tiny Tim dies in Ebenezer Scrooge. Such a sad, emotional song. My favorite song in the entire musical
MAGNIFICENT
He's amazing... Just listen to his voice!!!!! 🙉🙈🙊💀
Hmmm... I'm having a hard time understanding you comment, I'm guessing it's an automatic translation. Care to try in English? Thanks for the gesture though. :)
Yes Julien! Possibly my favourite carol! Very well sung indeed. HOwever, I would have liked to see a bit of a contrast in dynamics in the verses, maybe an agressive forte verse 2 and a soft and 'woe'ful last verse?
I have enough songs to keep you busy for a few hours I think. :)
To give you an idea of how much work it is to make these videos:
1 minute for you = 10 hours of work for me.
Subtitles? Oh you lovely man. No need to point out the share button, it's already done :p
this is awesome
He stars on the television show Doctor Who.
He wears bow ties. Bow ties are cool.
I know what it is, I'm asking how *else* the person would have liked this piece to end.
Flourescent Mercury thinks that you look like the actor playing the 11th incarnation Dr. Who (BBC science fiction series). Matt Smith also wears a bow tie as that character.
What??? How dare you critisize my video!!!
Julst kidding. :)
I'm surprised you dislike this simple way of finishing a rather dramatic piece about murdering children on a simple a hopeful chord, with minimal change to the existing progression. It makes sense to me. How would you have ended it?
love it ;)
It's 3:2 (from memory)
Great harmony ! Could you help me find the score for this particular barbershop arrangement. I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks.
+Даник Каптюг You can order my learning pack from my website, as mentioned in the video description: julienneel.com
Doesn't contain the music sheet I would like to learn it with a male group
+Даник Каптюг I provide it after you order the learning pack, as mentioned on the product page: sellfy.com/p/0NbF/
Its a wonderful cover but because its medieval song every phrases' final chord has to be major (picardy) even if its not the last of the last ,although its perfect so congrats anyways!!!!
i agree with that man!!!
yeah he is right you know...
You are very good but please do as he says!
finish him: flawless victory.
magnifique ! et tu a acquis de la maturité dans ta voix, ça s'entend !
Very nicely done. And a picardy 3rd ending to boot. It is odd that we have a Christmas carol stemming from a wicked King's slaughter of all the male children that were born at the time of the Christ child.
joyaux noël! (=
I'd love to hear you do a version with the false relation.
Brilliant! My guitar playing son was captivated by your clever arrangement. Is it available anywhere?
What lovely harmony! The "R" is still a problem... switch it to an Oxford R, or roll it; it's interfering with the flow of sound.
PRETTY.
WOW!!!!!!!
Many ?'s = long answer. Easier to message it. But sorry if I wasn't clear, it definitely adds. Soooo going to miss December & all the upload messages in the inbox.
this is quite good, I must say...
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. You'll find many more a cappella tunes on my double Christmas album: bit.ly/xmasCD1 and bit.ly/xmasCD2 :)
