The orchestration truly launches the terrific choral sound into another realm. The best version of this gorgeous song I've ever heard. And I know I'm echoing comments here, but the picture and sound quality of your recording was superb. Thanks so much for the posting.
I completely agree, bemis... I had the same deal with Carol of the Bells. Try finding a version without the cheesy, crappy lyrics and with a full orchestra :|
lol So when they first started singing and there was a break between every phrase, I thought, "How do they expect this song to ever end?" XD But then it turned out that that had just been the intro, and it was all better from there. Anyway, wow, they're amazing. =)
This song moves me like no other Christmas song. I am the Jewish born husband of a Methodist wife. I go to church with her once a year, on Christmas Eve, to hear this sung.
I love this song, it's probably my favorite Christmas song. I always loved singing it for our Christmas program. It never sounded this wonderful though.
you don't have to be this good, anyone can sing it but if you put your heart and spirit into it, your can sound like the angels themselves on the christmas night. :-)
This is the first performance of this arrangement by Dr. Richard McGee, Associate Conductor of the Las Vegas Philharmonic. Thanks a million, Dick -- what a pleasure to have a new opening piece for the Holidays!
Honestly the darkness of the video is no big deal, awesome voices!

Excellent video & sound quality. Acoustics there must be outstanding. Thanks so much for posting. 10 stars. What camera did you use to do the video?
MusicLover1948 1 year ago
@MusicLover1948 It was shot on a Sony DSC-H1. It's just an advanced point and shoot camera (advanced for 2005 when it came out anyhow)

Sony gets it. My still camera is a DSC-H2.
I used it for lots of videos before I got the first camcorder.
Thanks

It was the first song, so it started dark. By the end of the song, it's fully lit.

FINALLY! I just spent 20 minutes trying to find a classical version of this song, and even this is modified, but some of this stuff is ridiculous.
