Merci^^



[wendyworldly]

love this song, I learned it in Canada as part of our French class about 40 years ago but it still sticks in my mind (well, the first verse anyway) which is why I am here looking for the rest of it...this is a beautiful version of it

[ESA601]

[ESA601]

[nla2401]

appeared briefly in the movie "Ronin"....

[blackanimechick16]

they look 6-8 but sound like high schoolers. wow. very nice voices :). we sung this song

[CloudedLeopard100]

That was beautiful! Bravo! It gave me goosebumps!

[MirageEspejismo]

Beautiful! This takes me back to when I learned this song as a kid. :)

[FREAKSHOWvids]

thanks so much this really helped me out because we are doing this song for our concert thanks!!!!

[kaybee323]

I'm gonna sing this for my winter concert!!!!!

[cherry27coke2]

love the whole video but 1:27 to the end is my favorite part, that high note they hit is awesome!

[Hoosierhorsesense]

It's present tense, not past tense;

He is born, the Holy Child..

[lewisnyc]

Does anyone know if the melody from this song was used for anything else? I never sang these lyrics but I definitely sang the melody with some other lyrics. It seems the title is stuck in the back of my brain and I can't seem to pull it out. Any help you could give is greatly appreciated.

Beautiful rendition by this choir, by the way!

[lemmondg]

@lewisnyc The English translation of the song is "He was born the Divine Child" There are versions in both english and French.

[lewisnyc]

@lemmondg ......Thanks! So many hymns and carols use meodies from other hymns and carols, so I'm fairly certain the melody was used for an altogether different song, so what I'm trying to figure out is if the actual melody was used in a different song - not just in the English translation of this song. Something tells me this melody was used for some sort of patriotic song we sang in elementary school. I just can't place what it is/was.

[lewisnyc]

@lemmondg

Thanks! What I'm trying to figure out if anybody knows of a song besides either the French or English version of Il est né le Divin Enfant that the melody was used for. Many old hymns and carols traded lyrics and melodies around before the implementation of modern copyright laws. I have a feeling the melody for the song was used for some old American folk song, but I really can't recall. Any help anybody could give would be greatly appreciated.

[smile4iluvya]

@lewisnyc It's a traditional french tune, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are many different lyrics written to this tune.

[MrCommonsense743]

@lewisnyc Yes...it was used in the movie "Curse of the Cat People"...& sung in the garden on Xmas day by the ghost of Irena. She does a beautiful job.

[kingkong30992]

@lewisnyc I think it was used in Les Choristes...

[Cyl0nCaprica]

@lewisnyc It has been used in commercils in music box form, Wish could find the music box. It was sung in a very old black and white horror film called Curse of the Cat People with Simone Simone. She played the ghost of the woman cursed with turning into a panther. Her spirit returns at Christmas as a sort of angel to protect a very lonely little girl and she sings this song to her in the snow.

[lamysssdu69]

[TheMilune]

Beautiful voices!

[MKAngelPatti]

C'est magnifique. I learned this beautiful carol in Jr High French class and has been a favorite since then.

[cmiklya]

Wow! what a awsome job. Such beautiful voices and of course they are a childrens choir from Utah. Go Mormons!

[Gnickk]

@cmiklya Except that they're from a bunch of different denominations and they're singing in a cathedral...

[diablotin1980]

nice choir, i'm french, and i like it :P

[TheZelephant]

It also means "Now he is born, the divine Christ child. Play the Musette play the oboe. Now he is born the divine Christ child, let us rejoice this day." And so forth. It's a really good performance

[TheZelephant]

I get to sing that in November. Feeling good!

[ReachMotion]

He is born a holy child,  prophets foretold his coming. (English translation)

[5864the]

[missdu57130]

[lemmondg]

@missdu57130

[Tinkalicious94]

We are singing this song for Disney's Candlelight but different version of it...

[jennygee60]

I learnt this carol at the Girls' Grammar school I attended in the 1950's/60's in West Yorkshire. Our Old Girls' Association has now organised a Carol Concert for us this year, where we will sing the carol again! Ah memories! And how lucky we are to have such a fantastic Old Girls' Association committee to arrange this for us. Thank you Girls!

[MeghanMusicLuvr28]

We're singing a different version of this song in my school's choir. LOL. (:

[kinley91]

When I was singing in this choir, this was one of my all-time songs, out of all the Christmas and Spring concert selections. In fact, you can see me in this video! I'm on the other side, the alto section, and you can see my head! Yay! I LOVE THIS SONG!

[bellaminusherfury17]

i love this song! I know it from disney's candelight processional but i love listening to other arrangements. This is an excellent one.

[reester90]

That was so pretty and i love that cathedral! i love cathedrals in general and i really wanna see the mormon tabernacle choir sing there this month :)

[sjokolade147]

Belle chanson vraiment, aber nicht aus Lothringen/Deutschland wie die Heilige Johanna, die die Engländer hinsgeworfen hat unter der Führung von Sankt Michael. So eine brauchen wir um ganz Europa wieder auf ein rechtes Geleise zu bringen. Et ce n'est pas avec la Rep. Fra. que cela se passera.... HAhahhaha! Mais plutot avec le Divin Enfant chante ici, qui nous debarassera, une fois devenu adulte, des Mosquees et Synagogues de tous leurs fous!

[Arch5280]

Pity there isn't a better performance of this French carol, than by these Mormon Kids! they do a fabulous job.

[lemmondg]

Thank you, they did do a great job.

The choir is a non-denominational choir whose members are from many different faiths.

[groovingurly]

@Arch5280 and they are performing at a Catholic Cathedral. Thus the beautiful acoustics.

[christela01]

amen

[doriangh]

very good!!! I like it.

[the2pointedstar]

[fabfour1969]

Thanks for this beautiful carol from France and most especially from Lorraine. The others carols from France are "Minuit chrétiens" from Languedoc, most well-known in english under the title "Oh holy night". And "les anges dans nos campagnes" with the chorus "gloria in excelsis deo", also from Languedoc my region !

[Vreci]

Thanks for sharing this excellent arrangement!

Superb work !!

thanks,

wolfgang

[fabfour1969]

This beautiful carol is from Lorraine, France. From my region, Languedoc, we've got "Minuit Chrétiens" most well-known in english as "Oh Holy night" and "les anges dans nos campagnes" with the chorus "Gloria in excelsis deo".

[smileys4002]

Tres Tres Bien!

[bluedukes06]
