Benjamin Britten's
A CEREMONY OF CAROLS
Opus 28, for 3-part treble chorus and harp
Sung by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge
Harp: Frances Kelly
Conductor: Richard Marlow
1997
One small note: After listening to multiple recordings sung by trebles (Canterbury Cathedral, King's College, New London Children's Chorus, Copenhagen Boys' Choir, and Christ Church Cathedral), I still consider this to be the best recording.

01. PROCESSION
Hodie Christus natus est,
Hodie Salvator apparuit,
Hodie in terra canunt angeli;
Lætantur archangeli,
Hodie exsultant justi dicentes:
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
-----------------------------
Today the Christ was born,
Today the Saviour appeared,
Today on earth the angels sing;
The archangels rejoice.
Today the righteous exult, saying:
Glory to God in the highest.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
