Sissel - Jeg Synger Julekvad (In Dulci Jubilo)

Sissel, the international singing sensation from Norway, is widely regarded as one of the finest and most talented sopranos in the world. Her crystalclear voice has made Sissel a national institution in Norway. Sissel has sung all over the world, selling over six million solo albums. She contributed the haunting vocal tracks for the soundtrack to Titanic. She has been doing great duets with singers like Placido Domingo, Charles Aznavour, Taro Ichihara, Bryn Terfel, Jose Carreras, Russell Watson, Kurt Nilsen, Neil Sedaka and Josh Groban. A very remarkable voice you will only hear once in your lifetime.

"In Dulci Jubilo" (English "In Sweetest Rejoicing" but most commonly arranged as "Good Christian Men, Rejoice") is a traditional Christmas Carol. In Norwegian this song is called "Jeg Synger Julekvad" ("I Am Singing A Christmas-song").
The original lyrics, a macaronic alternation of Medieval German and Latin, is thought to have been written by the German mystic Heinrich Seuse circa 1328. According to folklore, Seuse heard angels sing these words and joined them in a dance of worship.

Her voice is so clear and she hits all the notes with such ease. It's a joy to listen to her.

It's amazing to look how the God is singing through this charming angel. Her beautiful bright face, true and lovely smile, these little sparks in her eyes, heavenly voice and fantastic music of J.S. Bach - this set could not be created just by a human.

Sissel Kyrkjebø is Bergens great Dauther while Kurt Nilsen is its great Son ;D
