This lovely Christmas hymn was a normal part of my Christmas when I was a child in Ireland in the 1940s and 1950s and as a n adult in Wales until the 1970s when anything that even sounded like Latin was shown the door.

The Catholic Church has become a little less sacred as a consequence but I still love it dearly...

Adeste Fideles está entre as músicas sacras mais maravilhosas que conheço.

Too many religious songs are sung to express "reverence," which is taken to mean a draggy pace. The faster pace captures the joy of the song. Why are joyous songs song with such languor?

[neotonos]

because this is gregorian chant in neumes notation, the original.

The "languor" is designed to facilitate meditation and contemplation. Good liturgical music is a form of prayer, after all, and should be presented that way. If you want peppy and cheerful, I'm sure Hannah Montana would be happy to oblige you.

@RebelKnightCSA HA HA HA! Well said. I feel the same way about a lot of modern masses - all showmanship; short on contemplation.

They sure are livelier than Enya.Similar artistic effect with less technology and a quicker tempo too.
