Windsbacher Knabenchor - Festliche Lieder

.. aus der Kirche St Marien zu Belzig. This is platinum material. As formal as it gets! I will never, ever know how they can find so many boys willing and able to put in the work to learn to sing what at that age MUST seem incredibly dull music to such a very, very high standard. Just amazing. More of this to come! The other thing I can't understand is how such a blue chip choir can be singing to such a sparse crowd. What a waste of seats.

Awesome!!!!Those boys are just awesome, spending all their free time to sing for the sake of music intrested people....by the way:I'm in this choir and it really makes fun ...if u have some time just visit us in windsbach or some of our great concerts^^ by Jookie

[notyobs]

Excellent Jookie. Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comment! Is the choir attached to a school or church, or totally independent?

[Jookken]

No unfortunately not,its "sponsored" by the lutheran curch,the being of this choir depends unfortunately on that church ... the money we get for travelling or meals for the choir on tour is less than 4 years ago .... oh i forgot its attached to an bording school( only a place to leave ...the school is not connected with the choir...but its just over the street)

[notyobs]

Thanks for the reply. That's all very interesting. Is the choir still as good now as in this video. (I bet it is!)

I must agree totally with organisten. When adults wonder how boys can put up with learning "such boring music" you have to remember that you are listening with different ears than theirs. Here is the key: if the Director loves a piece of music, his love will definitely transfer to his choir, and that is true of ANY choir, more so for boys. As to whether the Windsbachers are the best choir in the world or not, for me it depends. For Bach, I cannot find a better choir than the Tölzer Knabenchor.

Beautiful!!! Who are those that "dislike" it??

@quniversalpicts The "best b o y s´ choir...... and do you know the channels Singeroftheyear2009 and Windsifan70 already ? Beringer will leave the choir in 2011...:(

[organisten]

The two things you can't understand are the one and the same. We underestimate what children are capable of, and create banality for their culture. Look at the vulgarity of some "worship" songs for children.... Yet children are able to appreciate great works just as you or I. If so few realize that, little wonder either, that they should realize the importance of turning up to a concert where they can show their own appreciation.

[weatherboi]

You can see they have a love for music, that is why they are putting their heart into their singing.

Im Jahr 1982 besuchte der Windsbacher Knabenchor unserer Stadt (Petropolis, Brasilien). Wir hatten die Ehre, Sie in unserer Einrichtung willkommen

Their sound is incredible. Completely fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable. What a beautiful, gentle, and sweet way to bring in the christmas season. THANK YOU!
