BEAUTIFUL. WONDERFUL. HALLELUJAH! GLORY TO GOD! THANK YOU JESUS. THANK YOU FOR FILLING THESE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH YOUR SPIRIT! ~ HALLELUJAH! BLESS THEM ALL LORD. Please do not let one of them ever, ever, ever, ever stray from You. Please save them all. Please Lord! Please, please. Let them fall on their knees and receive YOU this Christmas, I pray. In the MIGHTY Name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen and AMEN.
The willingness and hopefulness that these children show bring tears to my eyes. The instructor is doing something amazing. A lot of children do not get to experience something like this until high school. This is amazing.
The kids did a beautiful job, as always...and altho i understand some of the reasons for the word changes...I think being true to the original would be an acceptable choice, just as the songs from other traditions are sung as well.
One song you might want to look into is Melissa Etheridge's version, called Oh Night Divine. Retains the original tune more or less, but is enough of a different song that I don't think ppl will have the negative reaction. it is non sectarian and beautiful as well
And THAT is one BIG reason why I homeschool my son. There is NO "Holy Night" if you take Christ out of it! Why bother singing the song? It makes no sense!
@TracyLeesie Good. Glad you and your progeny are staying home. In case nobody else has broken the news, "Christmas" is a made up holiday. The historical Jesus was born in the spring. The reason people celebrate it in December is because the Christians in Europe needed to co-opt the winter solstice. Bringing a tree in was a pagan tradition. Santa Claus is Nordic. The spirit of Christmas that has made the power of the holiday survive the facts is the spirit of generosity and love.
@TracyLeesie If you ask any of the kids in this chorus if they'd rather be homeschooled to learn proper religious lyrics, they'd probably ask you if you've got a screw loose. This chorus exemplifies beautifully what you might bereave your son of: Phenomenal success and experiences through team-work and cooperation.
They're totally into it, love it... But next time they should stand so their voices can be fully extended... I'm not a Christian, but I'm also not a fan of changing the lyrics.
This is really really fantastic! I love PS22 chorus :) but i have to agree with several comments below me and say that i'm kinda disappointed in the changing of the words. As my choir director words it, when you sing, you act. If you don't agree with the words, that's when the acting comes in. But I really really love this chorus! Keep up the good work guys!
Beautiful children; they don't even know how incredible and important they are. --And the Choir Director!! What a beautiful man! He is honestly changing the lives of so, so many! ..I too work very hard to help children, and to lift them up. We need more angels like this on earth! ....So beautiful....
Teacher, your reaction at the end of the song was just like mine. That's so good. Even with the minor word changes, the song still has a great impact. The kids were almost angelic! Amazing voices! Thanks for sharing ps22 with the world. We love you guys!
that was really sweet. consider singing the original french lyrics next year. that would be a fun challenge for these very talented kids to sing. consider it. congrats
that was really great... even though i'm quite the left winger i'm not a fan of altering art for the sake of political correctness... "when christ was born" was removed. Anyway. this is a great choir. Next year consider singing it in the original French. That could be fun for these very talented kids. congrats.
@dorkinabubble -- nope. but i kinda can see what you mean. :) and thanks! this is probably my favorite ps22 full chorus christmas performance, so i'm glad you enjoyed! :)
mi querido profesor, my darling teacher and yours children;congratulations!!!!!!! son hermosos, maravillosos, plenos de amor y entrega a la música.Mi total admiración a ti, Greg y a ésta bendición llamada PS22CHORUS!!!!THANKS.uruguay.ELIMA
What i find funny is that i learn all the revised lyrics to the traditional songs, and then i go to sing to one of the traditional ones and i forget he original lyrics! Excellent job!
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."
I would like you to know that this song was running through my head as I was taking a final. I spaced out like four times thinking about it. If I fail, I'm blaming you. The song is great, I'm glad I got it stuck in there. But could you stay out when I need to concentrate? Please?
If you watch all of the other videos you'll se that they were trained so be very dramatic while singing. They are really singing and they are really good. I've seen this choir on the news before. They are well lnown in their city and in the country.
I actually prefer the revised lyrics. Now I can identify to some extend with this song (and feel all "christmassy") even though I'm not a christian. So thanks.
Man. And I had already made up my list to Santa. I guess I will just have to remember that the season is about giving, love, spending time with family, and gratitude (no matter your religion) and be grateful that you have given us so many years of music with your kids that I LOVE to listen to!!!
Mr. B, PS22 did not kill Christmas. I watch these young artists and see the passion they put into their music. They are giving up their hearts and soul for this song. The true meaning of this season is giving. You and your talented students have given us hours of extraordinary music. Keep up the excellent work!
@agreggofsociety I actually felt the changes DEEPENED the meaning of the song. Someone who wants "Christ" in Christmas should still be able to find him there.
Gregg that was amazing! I love these kids! They are so phenomenal! these kids are so greatful to have you as the're teacher. God Bless you all, Have a fantastic hoilday. I also give kudos to you all!
I can't believe people are complaining about word changes and not just appreciating the absolute beauty of the kids voices and the purity with which they sing---
as an educator... you pick your battles!
when something sounds THIS AMAZING I say the word changes are worth it... otherwise we might not be hearing it AT ALL!!
I understand your point. You're right, without the word changes we might not even be hearing it. I sang this in junior high school, we sang the actual words, and some people got upset. Yet, no one got upset when we sang the story of Chanukah, or Kwanzaa. People just get upset when you sing about Jesus- why? --- I already commented on this video, but I'll comment again lol- I love their voices, they are beautiful. The passion they sing with is inspiring. Beautiful!!!!
Oh, boy... this brought me tears... Amazing, Greg, kids, amazing!! The two little soloists are amazing themselves too! =) Congratulations on it, it's a great rendition!
Beautiful harmonies. These kids are getting better and better! Albert has an absolutely beautiful vocal tone, and he and Jasmin blend really, really well with one another! Great job, PS22 Chorus! Love how deeply you feel what you're singing.
wow that was amazing. Its crazy how the ENTIRE chorus sings with so much emotion. Its great to see so many different soloists this year, all who nail it. This song was great. And great Piano accompaniment Mr. B!
i dont think that yall should have changed the words. the whole purpose of the song is because of Christ. But of course there will be parents that would get mad. Great Job though.
pretty voices. very very unfortunate you had to chance the true lyrics and leave jesus out of it, the real reason for christmas, and the main purpose of this song. telling the story of jesus' birth. sad.
Beautiful performance but I agree with others. I'm sad the words were changed. The original version is so much more meaningful. Keep up the good work.
Their harmony's were just beautiful! Amazinggg Job. But...he meaning of the song was totally stripped. Christmas IS about Christ. (CHRISTmas). U know?the meaning of the song is about when Christ was born.(Holy Night). I undrstand that evry1 doesnt celebrate christmas, but this is what this song is about...the celebration of Jesus. I dont understand what it could b about if it's not about Him. Again, they r all talented n u r a great teacher.
I definitely understand having to be politically correct in a public school, and think it's okay you changed the words. It's still a marvelous version!
i went to a public school and we never changed the words to silent night in our choir. who could possibly ever be offended by silent night in its original form? bleh.
simply beautiful! Great job guys! Hope to one day see you live! Where is the school located? what city/ state!? you guys are all so talented keep up the great work and God bless!
Beautiful harmony as always! However, I am surprised by this song choice. The original message of it is to tell the story of the night Jesus was born. I realize some of the students may be Jewish, etc. so why not pick a Hannukah or other song? I am Christian and am not offended by this version. Nor would i be opposed to a Hebrew song. But why change the words to something that to me is the most beautiful song of the season? But great job! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all !!! :)
@aw36 I think this was a case of "better safe than sorry" being that this is a public school, and these videos get thousands of views...someone would have complained. It only takes one complaint...
The kids are amazing...but why were the words changed? Alternative words were nice... just sadden that they replaced the words that were meant to glorify the reason for the season :(
Good job on modifying the song so they wouldn't fade on notes that could have been too low for them. I noticed that the words are a bit different than what I'm used to singing. It would be good to have them on the screen like you did for "African Lion." This was excellent. You and the chorus keep on inspiring everyone!
It really touches my heart to see the looks on these kids faces as they sing from their heart, you can tell that it means something to them. Great job, the world needs more teacers like you. God bless
I know I will catch a lot of heat from the Youtube population. However, I hate when we have to divert from the original lyrics of this song. People might get upset that I feel this way. However, what if they changed the lyrics of some of our favorite songs growing up?
These children have such lovely voices and have an amazing talent. Will this school get in that much trouble if you mention the word "Christ" in a Christmas song?
Love it.....Love it....Love it....and Mr B's reaction at the end....priceless...how about a holiday concert? what a great fundraiser for the music program?
Jasmin is amazing..... I just... love her.

They use the words "Christmas". They haven't taken out Christ, in fact I think they've enhanced Christ's visions. Peace to all our brothers.
In and out of Christ.
To those who complain, I offer James 1:19/20

U know?the meaning of the song is about when Christ was born.(Holy Night). I undrstand that evry1 doesnt celebrate christmas, but this is what this song is about...the celebration of Jesus. I dont understand what it could b about if it's not about Him. Again, they r all talented n u r a great teacher.

I definitely understand having to be politically correct in a public school, and think it's okay you changed the words. It's still a marvelous version!

i went to a public school and we never changed the words to silent night in our choir. who could possibly ever be offended by silent night in its original form? bleh.

Beautiful harmony as always! However, I am surprised by this song choice. The original message of it is to tell the story of the night Jesus was born. I realize some of the students may be Jewish, etc. so why not pick a Hannukah or other song? I am Christian and am not offended by this version. Nor would i be opposed to a Hebrew song. But why change the words to something that to me is the most beautiful song of the season? But great job! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all !!! :)

@aw36 I think this was a case of "better safe than sorry" being that this is a public school, and these videos get thousands of views...someone would have complained. It only takes one complaint...

The kids are amazing...but why were the words changed? Alternative words were nice... just sadden that they replaced the words that were meant to glorify the reason for the season :(

Good job on modifying the song so they wouldn't fade on notes that could have been too low for them. I noticed that the words are a bit different than what I'm used to singing. It would be good to have them on the screen like you did for "African Lion." This was excellent. You and the chorus keep on inspiring everyone!

I know I will catch a lot of heat from the Youtube population. However, I hate when we have to divert from the original lyrics of this song. People might get upset that I feel this way. However, what if they changed the lyrics of some of our favorite songs growing up?
These children have such lovely voices and have an amazing talent. Will this school get in that much trouble if you mention the word "Christ" in a Christmas song?
