This rendition grates on the ears and is an attempt by the choirmaster to show that by speeding up things that they sound more with it. I think it sounds like cats shrieking on a hot tin roof. Musical ...it is not.....not for the cognoscenti. In a word it is the "Crucifixion" of what was written as a gentle and meaningful song. One out of ten......and that is being generous!
It was really good, but please correct me if I'm wrong... Did they say the "ox and ass kept time?" If I'm not mistaken, it is "the ox and lamb kept time," right? Or did I miss it? Just asking...
The correct words are the 'ox and ass kept time' but some people don't like to say ass (haha) so sometimes the words evolve to suit peoples taste and the environment!!
Actually, the original Katherine K. Davis lyrics were "ox and lamb kept time". "The ox and ass kept time" is a variation recorded by the The Trapp Family Singers. This choir must be using that version.
It's just one of those lines that gets changed from place to place depending on tastes. I would imagine the original lyrics written did say "ox and ass" which has a bit of a ring to it musically, but can sound vulgar out of context.
Please, could anyone send my the partiture for choir of this song, please? Let me know how you'll send it (be e-mail)! Congratulations for the performance!
Agree that it is a bit too fast, and not my favorite (which has ALWAYS been the Harry Simeone Chorale original recording), but their voices are lovely...
It would have been even better at a slower pace....
BRAVO!
