Why do some people persist in 'racialising' music?! Does anyone really think that music 'recognises' skin colour?! Hell if music can't break down barriers we,as a species,are in some deep sh*t! Listen to the music,HEAR the lyrics and REJOICE!
If you think this is a white version of this song, you should hear us sing it in our church...in the original arrangement and meter. I only wish we could do it this way. The lyrics were written in 1907 to the music of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy".
Amazing choir ! I would like to hear a bit of a distinctive gospel Hammond organ sound in the background as the one use to be heard accompanying Mahalia Jackson.
This was not a church - it was a TV show in Australia at Christmas - they do a Carols by Candlelight TV show every year - and the choir are just a group of Australian Christian singers who get together to do stuff like this.
This is Australia Singing Group - in Australia GOSPEL does not mean the same as in USA - it is simply means CHRISTIAN - they are not trying to be BLACK GOSPEL like in USA - they are merely a group of Christian singers singing this song LIVE ON TV OUDOORS on Christmas Eve for a LIVE TV show of CHRISTMAS. They didnt get to pick the song, it was picked for them by the producers and I think their performance was awesome
It actually the way they are singing is the reason, its called Gospel. They are excellent singers, especially the men....

Very nice... I'm an atheist, but music is music, and this music is great!
