  • wonderful, thank you for this beautiful song

  • @donhenri01

    Are you moaning?

    Cheers.

    from,

    del-boy.

  • It's great to see this setting on YouTube. There's always something very haunting and moving about this setting and it fits the words perfectly, more so than Redner's original American "St Louis" tune. I know my eye gets misty when I hear it. One regrets that not many people know this setting, but it's great to hear it here. It's worth doing a comparison of different tunes for the same carol, and this is but one example.

  • I saw and taped this piece years ago but lost it. This was incredible!!!

  • A pity that we do not see the choir.

  • Why does he keep shaking his head?

  • Lovely, you dont always hear this tune.

  • Thank you for your response. Just about a month ago I found it in "Carols for Choirs 3" at my church choir rehearsal. Later I found that my choir director has chosen it for our Nine Lessons and Carols service! He has a tenor in mind to sing it but I am still hoping he will let me sing the first verse (I expressed my desire of course) the tenor doing the recitative section. He wants the ladies doing the second verse and the 3rd as written by the entire choir.

  • I have the music for this piece.

  • I have the audio tape recording of this song (and other Christmas music) with Aled and the BBC Welsh Chorus and have always loved it. Aled was such a 'mature' boy soprano...sang with so much expression and musicality for his age. Does anyone know where I can get this score. I tried searching the Internet but it doesn't seem to be available... Was it never published?
