  • I'm frustrated that so much of American kid "singing" is just screaming for the amusement of their parents who couldn't tell the difference between the wailings of a cat in heat and a joy buzzer. They provide their children a false sense of self-esteem rather than teaching them how to sing properly and EARN it. I'm utterly sick of hearing tone-deaf kids being applauded merely for merely looking cute while tonelessly shrieking horribly written kid music. ACK!!!

  • I hope you're talking about something that contrasts with this!

  • Appreciate your comments, lilgladys59, and share your sentiments somewhat, but it is probably unfair to compare the kids we hear singing in local school and church choirs to the professionally trained youth in this world renowned group. It is important to encourage rather than discourage and criticize, and perhaps it is unrealistic to attend a Christmas concert in the local church/school and expect to hear the brilliance of choir such as this one.

  • Extremely profound and touching, resonates in ones soul.

  • @lilgladys59 While this is true (believe me,I'm a music teacher!) I've worked with both British and American kids, and the talent level is about the same. The difference is that the English kids have this type of thing ongoing as something to at least know it exists. American kids are never exposed to this type of music. But if kids in the UK watch any thing church related on TV, they'll see this kind of thing.

  • is alex stobbs in this video? looks like him

  • This is SO MUCH more beautiful than the John Rutter tune, which I have just stumbled across on Youtube. I normally like Rutter's work.

  • This is spiritually amazing... It touches the heart and mind to all children here on earth

  • Too true about American "kids" knowing nothing about music, they think more volume and posturing and intensity is a substitute for real music; most of them have never even heard a well-done anthem such as this.

  • In which year this video's recorded?

  • Your query was probably answered months ago, but just in case it wasn't: This setting was composed by H. Walford Davies (1869 1941) (I think he composed it in 1910) to words from Horae B. V. M (Sarum) 1514

  • Such a profound little piece this is, so pensive and eerily nostalgic!
