[isyw12]

oh its just a school choir concert thing from a while back. thanks for the comment

[wiesje666]

I love this it is beautiful and i love the use of the original insterments that would of been used when this song was first sung

[diddydiddycool]

What a shame someone said "lets get some bongos and tambourines". This carol, done as beautifully as this, needs to be a capella.

@diddydiddycool watch Libera's version- it has a drum and recorder but it sounds brilliant (the 2008 version)

[SiggyStern]

Very nice!

@diddydiddycool

It is not a-liturgical, drums were used in Medieval times to happy festivities, that kind of drums, of course!

[alonelychild]

I loved the voices, but I think that to be perfect those percussion instrumentals should not be used, after all, wasn´t in a Holy Mass?

[AndrosRex]

The percussion on this hymn, I am sad to say, is not totally appropriate.

The Point of Music is not to sound like other music.

Did you all listen to this for historical knowledge, or for the music itself ? Historically accurate or not, I cannot hear over the noise, and can barely help from cracking up. As they say, if historical singers ran off a cliff, would you ?

This is one of my favorite non liturgical hymns, and I am glad to see it getting around. Merry Christmas ! ( gaudeetee ? )

It's totally appropriate to use drums, etc. while singing this Medieval/Renaissance Christmas song. Drums and other instruments were used in some parish church festival music, and also at non-church festivals where music like this still would have been sung. The carol comes from a Benedictine hymnal, and monks would have sung is more like chant.

South Hampstead High school in London! England

Gr8!

[roberwael05]

it seems to be choir directors in general that want very nice pices of music to be spoiled by the introduction of african drums tambourines, triangle etc.
