All My Heart This Night Rejoices

A fabulous performance of this exquisite arrangement! I sang the alto long ago and have never forgotten the song, but it is hard to find now. You have done the composer proud indeed.

Wonderful performance of one of my favorite Christmas songs! Well balanced, with variations and descants in every verse. Bravo, John Brown!

And this verse:

If our blessed Lord and Maker

Hated men

Would He then

Be of flesh partaker?

If He in our woe delighted,

Would He bear

All the care

Of our race benighted?

@gratiasola These verse not in the composition as written (I sang it a while back with leo Nestor in the audience). Note also that each verse is not identical, so adding additional verses would not have been trivial. Actually this REALLY intricate and (I think) polyphonic.

I want to hear this verse:

Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth

Who the foe

Sin and woe

Death and hell o'erthroweth;

God is man, man to deliver

His own Son

Now is one

With our blood forever.
