im working on this song in my chorus and im a saprano 1 this was very helpful so i know what its suppoed to sound like

Very nice, though the pronunciation of the Old English/Late Saxon is rather off. For example, bounden is pronounced as "Beun-dyn", and as for "we mun singen", it's "Muin". Winter is also as "Wintah". I studied the later Saxon/Frisian languages for a long time, so I try to use it to help where I can. A friendly tip for the singers, is all. Really nice performance, by the way!

I really like the drums, they add a really cool touch. And the song is very well sung. I'm singing this in my choir right now as well.

But it is a very easy song to memorize. It's very repetitive with the melody, and in my opinion it takes away from the performance if the singers are holding up binders.
