In Dulci Jubilo York Minster Choir 1995

[elton1981]

I've yet to find a better performance of this.

[drtmuir]

I love the Pearsall setting. It's so sweet.

[machines0fdog]

nearly made me tearful <_<

[janice2274]

One of the loveliest carols, beautifully sung. No substitute for boy trebles in this kind of music. Remembering the Madrigals Group at Thames Valley Grammar, several of whom were male staff, including a Physics master.

[Corviniana]

Beautiful ...wonderful

AMAZING

Greetings ....Corviniana

[limetang]

Beautiful carol... even in may =P the only issue is my bad latin means I can only understand a couple of the latin lines.

[ourDC888]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[SiLatics56]

Must say I much prefer Mike Oldfield's version if the truth be told :)

[rainbow0921]

o patris caritas! o nati lenitas! deeply were we stained, per nostra crimina, but thou, thou hast gained coelorum gaudia, that we, that we were there, o that we were there!

[Joaquinlf1]

This is a good song, good christmas everyone.

[sirtinycreep]

How can anyone dislike this? 

[benedicimuste]

The original version is a 14th century macaronic carol, mixed text german-latin.

(Heinrich Seuse, 14th century, Germany)

[sirtinycreep]

So calming...

[marooc]

i will be seeing it tomorrow hopefully... it's amazing to live in York =)))

[carlin0608]

tu muy bien!!! de nuevo jejej

[mlzielke]

Lovely! What an inspiration!

[PatLPauloski]

Beautiful!

[taarten]

I miss Mike Oldfield's guitar solo...

[iAmRyRyRy]

Im doing this now and the top alto is so hard because you always end up singing the soprano

[temarifan111]

We're singing this in choir

But i cant understand a word they are saying o_o

[Alaskaweiss]

Schön

[000nour000]

oooooh David Willcocks!!! :-)

[shuttle1957]

anche da queste cose si capisce quale è la vera Via la Verità e la Vita

[Janicedean]

Lovely - from a resident of York..

[billybobsbest]

If you get to the UK, certainly attend at least evensong at the York Minster. Also get to Cambridge, and in Londodn, the Abby and St. Pauls. Music you will not hear in the states, except for Minn.

[ChristineFML]

We sing this in our High School Choir.

We sound amazing.

[jtlmac]

This music honors God  thank you for this gift.

[jnajy]

what is the name of this choir?...

[lamppostfilmcompany]

york minster choir =]

[jnajy]

Thanks

[hsswthearts]

MAGNIFICENT!!! Thanks you sooo much!!!

[mynextstopkraljevo]

Have a look at my YouTube video of the fine architecture of the Minster Church of St George. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

[leedshunk]

oh hell , i love christmas music , what a pity that christmas is so short musically , and lent is so long !!!!

[tylergator]

strangely put, leedshunk

[leedshunk]

what i meant by that is the christmas season is short , considering the vast amount of musical repertiore available , there's never enough time or opportunity to sing all one's faves , unlike lent where you have a whole 6 weeks to do the good stuff !!!

[lichtbroeder]

In the Orthodox Church, Easter music is sung AFTER lent, not during (as Lent is a preparation FOR Easter), so if you were Orthodox you'd have LESS time to sing during Lent! :)

[leedshunk]

well as a church musician with 40 years experience , i can assure you we do NOT sing Easter music in Lent !!!

[buttonpuncher]

Yes, but if we were happy all the time, we wouldn't know it. It takes a bit of sadness and sorrow for us to realize how happy we are at the moment.. I can be a bit philosophical about Lent, since I'm past 65 yrs. old, and thus exempt from fasting. Unfortunately, there's no age limit on abstinence. Last Lenten season I told my priest that I'd adopted a discipline -- I promised to listen to his homilies, for a change.

[choirboy526]

Christmas lasts from dec. 25th in England to february 2nd

[leedshunk]

well , our church must be one of the few to leave the crib up right up until february when we celebrate candlemass

[limetang]

@leedshunk Lent has some good music.

[CircaBoy17]

my choir is better

[chinwo]

definitely re-ignites the fire of my hi skl days....our choir sang this sooo soronously during the xmas cantata.

[djriley418]

Just lovely! Thanks so much for posting. Is it possible to post the lyrics? (I don't know what I'm asking really, how much effort that would take.) Or do you know where online I can find them? Thanks. And God bless. :)

[chinwo]

just google in dulci jubilo lyrics and select the English one and sing away with them. Hope it helps! :) Great song, really.

[ToryMagoo44]

Beautiful! Merry Christmas to ALL :)

[sarahrchds]

Well done York! Jealouskind, yes indeed, you can see the copies of 'Carols for Choirs book 1', the 'Green Book', in the video. This is Sir David Willcocks's re-arrangement of a perfectly good harmonisation by R. L de Pearsall, so it goes into 8 parts in the last verse and just makes it harder for amateur choirs: that man can't leave anything alone! But it's beautiful enough to survive his attentions and earns five stars from me.

[essentialelement]

This...was very nice! Peace to you, the Son of Peace to you...

[hymnsinger5]

One of the nicest Christmas/post-Christmas hymns. Our church is singing this at Midnight Mass this year taking place of the traditional "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear".

[eamcand1901]

I am singing this in choir this season!!

MCC

[basoprofundo]

i too love this arrangement but prefer it a bit faster:they used a second treble for the alto soli

[jealouskind]

oh how i love this arrangement.

willcocks if i'm not mistaken...

[josparkes]

Very beautiful, merry Xmas all !

[Moltroff]

the mixture of english et latinarum text phrases valde mihi placet.

[chinwo]

beautiful singing! ah! very beautiful!

[ABisexualBox]

German Christmas carol, can be sang in both Latin and German, my High school chorus is currently singing it in Latin, i love it ;]

[narval77]

Impressive! Very beautiful. Nice arrangement.

[1BODGER95]

Fantastic!

[Ste987]

bello...bello...oggi è il 5 agosto ed ascoltandolo con occhi chiusi sembra di essere fuori di una cattedrale con la neve che scende e questo splendido sottofondo ...che richiama la nascita di nostro signore.. bellissimo

[Janicedean]

you need the

Stamford Bridge Singers to do this

[rainbow0921]

one of the most beautiful alto lines EVER!

[johnmajestic]

Gosh.... I recognise some of you guys - when you were a bit older.....

from John Pennington

[Philovideo]

Wow, Great performance! I love the way the different vocal parts are precisely sung. For an all male choir, the younger boys are needed for the high soprano notes to give the choir the full spectrum range they need. (And those boys sure can hit those extremely high notes with hardly any effort at all it seems!) Also, nice acoustics in that church as well! I always have loved that In Dulci Jubilo song. A very catchy tune and melody!

[Tommy211hick]

good video!!!

i love singing in this building and the organ is fantastic!!!!!

[TriViAnDiSgUiSe]

i go to minster school

[notyobs]

That's a great privilege.

[kar3n1992]

I love this song...and this recording of it! I sing it faster tho with the "In Dulci Jubilo" song by Mike Oldfield...bt this is beauitufl! :D

[imsuperawesome]

Wow.

My choir did this song this year for Christmas.

I wasn't too fond of it, but this recording may have changed my mind.

[fandsfan]

very good my oartner who i do duets with and i are doing this as a duet taken quite a bit of moving around and singing different parts to do it lol but sounds good have a good christmas everyone thanx for the upload

[notyobs]

You'll have to upload a clip of you and your partner's rendition to Youtube!

[fandsfan]

aww bless u lol r u a singer too

[notyobs]

No, but I play piano/keyboards/organ for church and schools.

[fandsfan]

[elton1981]

[JohnJonesWolfClaude]

I love this hymn!And i sing it in my musical school!))

[Miveth07]

A beautiful song/carol/hymn.

[bmcln1]

This is the 19th-century Pearsall setting that King's College also sings. Perfectly done.

[sidhaguru]

jesus is lord

[ihope127]

Wow! I'm not even going to attempt to understand how you figure that out from a person's music preferences.

[notyobs]

Hmm yes. That was an odd post wasn't it, so I've removed it.

[isin17123]

Excellent. Just excellent

[elton1981]

flawless

[3NUNS]

Like the way the tall blond yound man checks out the conductor's beat regularly.

[3NUNS]

This is why Anglicanism is so important.

[bleh2you]

my high school choral sang this a few years ago for our chirstmas concert...our tempo was a lot faster though. this is absolutely enchanting...thank you

[thehivelift]

DarkSideOfTheM00n you dont know proper music. This is nice relaxing.
