I have to admit I find this carol itself a bit sentimental but I like the arrangement. (Obviously in total disagreement with 'goatsareus' which goes to show how personal is musical taste!). Incidentally this link was sent me by a professional musician (he directs an adult choir).
Golly - I really find this arrangement annoying syrupy - I think it's just horrible. There are far better arrangements out there that don't make you want to projectile-vomit!!
I first heard this choir in Oxford when I was 16 it sent shivers down my spine and went on to be a lay clerk at bristol cathedral - such an inspiration!!!
Good old Edward ! I mean of course the Director of Music of New College Oxford. This arrangement and incredible harmonisation just sent shivers down my spine. It's interesting here how a a carol like this can sound so different when sung by this famous Choir.
