This is such a hard song to sing but this is just amazing!

I sang it (soprano) the last year in the church oo. Carmelites in Krakow. And I must say that the place is completely destroyed the effect - in that church does not have the acoustics (which is weird because it's the church, at least, there is singing). I deeply regret that it did not work out, because the song is wonderful.

@sweetmouze Britten wrote Ceremony of Carols for SSA female voices (the ladies of the Fleet Street Choir in London), although it is often performed by boy sopranos. The SATB version is a later arrangement by Julius Harrison - it isn't the original.
