Anuna : Noel Nouvelet

[musicandyceramist]

This is from a vocal nerd, so just bear with me and try to understand:

Anuna really kicks serious ass with their ability to carry tuneage from memory and to do so in the number of non-standard languages they use *in addition to* their excellent delivery on the everyday a capella diction. Anybody else here notice that?

[ConfusionHiphop]

Busta rhymes - bad dreams

[lvfrancais]

Magnifique! Autant le chant que les femmes!

[imafuckingrobot]

The end of this video is pretty fucking weird.

[brezairola]

@imafuckingrobot Thank you! I'm so glad you think so.

[skypilot5280]

We are singing this tomorrow.

[Stonerb13]

Tres fantastic!

[xTehFailure]

[livelaughfigureskate]

[ofcelticblood]

Beautiful & artenjoy is most correct, Exquisite. Thank you for making my holidays so much brighter.

[artenjoy]

~ Exquisite ~

[gjeniis]

troooo bien j'apprend a l'ecole lol

[thephailers]

Our chamber singers are doing this, but we are going faster. =[

[revort27]

sounds so epic like the song at the beggening of pirats of the carabien

[UniqueBabii13]

They Sound SO Beautiful , My Kids Are Going To Love This As A Lullaby When I Have Some .

[pangoondoodoo]

At Christmas we are going to do this song by the way its junior and senior choir only!! Plus it is so cool this song

[brezairola]

@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox Yeah Alyssa, take a chill pill... this person has put on their comment that their opinion is valid, so therefore it must be. Hey, that means that if I post that gOtHiCxAnGeLxox is taking through their nether regions, and that my opinion is valid, then there must be some truth in my comment.

[gOtHiCxAnGeLxox]

@brezairola - Nice. Real nice...

[brezairola]

@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox thank you. We aim to bore.

[recneps4444]

this is why i LOVE Irish Women!

<3<3

[annsnell7667]

i love this carol, the choir i belong to is learning this at the moment, but we're not as good :(

[bigballa4realz]

gorgeous!



[ErinsChannel01]

Nice video and version. I actually hadn't heard of this song until I saw recently that the Von Trapp Children did their own version (and they were also great).

[grofys]

i'm inspired by the end of this vid: what if, in another time, a father would have his daughters stand in a circle and braid their hair together (one long braid in the center) so they would not run off with a man, etc., when he was gone for the day. one day, when he is off one day he dies and the women are held like that until...can't come up with an ending right now...

[Kersika]

@grofys You are not inspired.

[ekmusicable]

Oh my goodness this is the prettiest version of this song I have heard.

[Annietime1]

beautiful song!! i love it :)

[brezairola]

@CoolieMcDacent Its about cat. Called moo. Yes - its hysterical.

[musicmaker145]

This. Is. The. Best. SONG IN HISTORY!!!!! Im doing this song in chorus and this helps me understand how to pronounce the song... And its so freakin beautiful!!! I dont care what anyone else says!!

[LibertyPheonix]

Wow, that blonde girl in the middle is amazingly beautiful.

[leporello56]

@LibertyPheonix I was accompanying her on the piano the other night at a table quiz, shes a fantastic singer

[nighthawk006phoenix]

I just fell down laughing at the posts below. How anyone can criticize the "forced smiles"? Ah well...

[amigodetodas]

me recuerdan a medieval baebes

[gOtHiCxAnGeLxox]

They sound beautiful but- ugh! I hate it when people force smiles. It looks so unnatural; not to mention unpleasing to the bitter end.

[brezairola]

@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox - and that may be so, but no one is forcing anything. This was done in one take, and the atmospheric flashes cover multitudes of corpsing by the girls. Rebecca starts it at the beginning when a huge fake snowball sticks to her hair, and it goes downhill from there. Sorry to disappoint you. Anuna don't do fake very well.

[gOtHiCxAnGeLxox]

@brezairola - Believe what you want. I stand by my opinion. 

[brezairola]

@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox I really admire your position, unknown person! Stubborn, pompous, opinionated - all good things in my book! You could easily fit in with us.

[gOtHiCxAnGeLxox]

@brezairola - Why, thank you. ^^

[vonfenneberg]

@brezairola I think you are just jealous.,,in fact I know you are..and possibly also racist against Caucasians and sexist. This is a beautiful and spiritual song and that is exacly why someone like you does not like it. Why don't you go back to the requests for nudes and stupid Japeanese anime I saw on your site-channel and leave those of us with the discernment ot enjoy this lovely song and its equally lovely singers alone! Ciao (-:

[brezairola]

@vonfenneberg Now, now - there is nothing racist or sexist in whatever-sex-or-race-this-pers­on-is posts. I, for one, am a huge fan of Anime, recently wading through two series of Fade to Black and Blood+. Japanese has only two "e"s in it by the way. Lets keep the level up please...

[mrsjudetheobscure]

@brezairola

Girls, girls, please...oh bless, this made me laugh, I was busy having a shit birthday and my big sis told me to listen to this, then I read your little spat. Bad spelling, misunderstandings, accusations of racism, sexism and all for a snowball and a smile.

[brezairola]

@mrsjudetheobscure I love YouTube because of the low level of interactions with people of different cultures and races. Interactions such as this are what made us [insert country or sect] great! Its like the Eurovision Song Contest, but less people are sober.

[mrsjudetheobscure]

@brezairola

Come on kid! Is ANYONE watching Eurovision sober? Are you supposed to be? damn, no one told me!

[pikhienko]

@vonfenneberg I have to say, not all anime is a sexfest. Theres actually alot of series that tell a story. Along with great compositions.

Love this song btw

[musicmaker145]

@vonfenneberg what the hell is everyone freakin out about? Its a damn christmas song!!!

[brezairola]

@musicmaker145 Damn right too! But this is a MAAAAAAD page, with amusing and chortle-making comments. All of us posting are insane and just, well MAAAAD.

[AlyssHrt123]

@gOtHiCxAnGeLxox just close  ur eyes! it doesn't matter if they "force smiles" as long as they sound good. i wouldn't care if they wore clown make-up and danced the macerana as long as they sounded the same. lol

[capewebs]

Pause at around .29 and .30. So beautiful.

[SDG1750]

awesome :D :D :D

love the alto part

[doubleHenry]

KEEP ON POSTING STUFF LIKE THIS!!!

[schoenesmaedchen]

it's so haunting...

[mangacrazy07]

yet so beautiful :)

[schoenesmaedchen]

agreed. :-)

[ChristmasMusicForAll]

as disabling as the Sirens must have been

[CatFiain]

Myself and a number of my dear friends have been going through a rough time this year.

Thankyou so much for posting this beautiful arrangement of Noel Nouvelet. I love Anúna's music, but had not heard them sing this before.

I have posted a link here to all my friends who've had it rough this year, in the hope that it may soothe their weary spirits a little.

Beannachtaí na Nollag, agus Athbhliain faoi mhaise duit!

[Dylainn]

I'm singing this at my school... but the lyrics are different. I'll have to talk to my music teacher about that...

[AlyssHrt123]

@Dylainn you might be singing it in a different language so thats probaly why the words are different. My choir is singign a catholic version with latin words

[adrainville]

Awesome.

[Pmcg0]

[tonboy907]

[BootziBear]

S-A-M-E Here! I'm in choir wbu?

[ReenBlom]

Now where can I buy this DVD? ( and also Celtic Origin one) The only place I found that sells it would not ship to Europe. :( :( :(

[lunescent2007]

Amazon sells Celtic Origins, though I think Christmas Memories is available only through Boarders.

[ReenBlom]

Amazon UK only got Celtic Origins mp3s not the DVD. :( Talk about Art without borders. :(

[Aphotic0221]

People often take the voice for granted, especially since, when compared to manual instruments, is a very complex and difficult instrument to use.

[judez23mac]

Nothing finer than the human voice - breathtaking music can be made from our immediate selves... don't bother to bring your instruments.

[Estelindis]

Isn't Hannah Evans singing in this song...?

[brezairola]

no...

[robbimcmillen]

This song is set to the tune of Catholic hymn "Now The Green Blade Riseth"

[brezairola]

Actually, it isn't. The hymn is set to this medieval French melody.

[robbimcmillen]

I never said it wasn't [=

[brezairola]

Um... very sharp answer.

[tuss88]

There is a song in the swedish church hymn book that has this melody. it´s butyfull. i love Anuna very much and they are amazing.

[musicmary1331]

beautiful!

[senorrsoup]

beautiful

[lunescent2007]

Very beautiful. One of Anuna's best songs ever.

[brezairola]

we are very proud of this one...

[tonette55]

You look and sound beautiful Rebecca.

guess who??

[winckwor]

Which Rebecca are you speaking to?

[tonette55]

Rebecca Shannon...she is a fellow student of mine in NUIM..Toni Rock

[stengweed]

Fishing...excellent!

[fgclan00]

[pwnage0fn00bs]

[TaraR16]

'Nouvele' means news.

I looked it up.

*Waves*

~Tara :)

[pwnage0fn00bs]

thanks a lot! i was thinking nouvelle (i think that's how you spell it) which means new, so thanks

[mikeyv1515]

i bet even when they snore, it sounds beautiful......

[benzackry]

hahah..=)

[amabilis77]

lmao nice

[ELuhn]

@mikeyv1515 I'm quite willing to test that assertion personally. Purely in the spirit of scientific inquiry, of course...

[lfantaisy]

magnifique chanson tres bien interpretée

[Crawfy7]

You've done it again Michael...beautiful arrangement.
