Another german/austrian christmas Song:

Still, Still weil's Kindlein schlafen will

Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.
Die Englein tun schön jubilieren,
Bei dem Kripplein musizieren.
Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.

English Translation (Frank 2000):
Still, still, still,
Let baby sleep its fill,
The angels are all jubilating
By the manger, music making.
Still, still, still,
Let baby sleep its fill.

  • To correct myself it was one day later: 22.12.2006

  • 21.12.2006 "Christmas in Vienna"...Not all the performed songs were that good...But it helps that all the vienna boys sing together in the "main performances" of the year...(They are splitted into 4 touring groups...)

    Still, nearly all prestigious german boys choirs today are better than the Vienna boys choir and that is sad development

  • @Jairdan No, what's sad is that you can't listen to a group of extremely talented and dedicated children singing absolutely beautiful music without trashing the whole experience by actually turning it into a "our choir is better than your choir" competition. How petty could you possibly be?

  • @shadowmatrix0101

    The singing of the Vienna Boys Choir is just not as good as it was a few decades ago...I actually enjoy all the old recordings of the 70's and 80's...But today they are just not in the Ivy League anymore. I value good choirs all over the world; England for example has extremely high standards, Oxford, Kings, Winchester, Canterbury. I still enjoy watching The St. Florianer Sängerknaben (Boys Choir) in Austria, so I am not biased or nationalistic...

  • edwards21416: What in the world are you saying "white man's music"? There is high culture all over this world. Apparently you haven't been anywhere to hear great composers and musical performances. Our culture isn't being replaced, it is being added to. Finally, thanks to the Vienna Boys Choir for a great tradition.

  • Libera's version is the best.

  • I've loved this carol since I was a small child, and I first heard it sung by the Vienna Boys Choir. It brings joy to my heart every time I hear it.

  • ah white man's music is bea-uitful,our culture is being replaced but not the higher culture, that is still here thank god.

  • look....harry potter.

  • really

  • i absolutely love this choir!

  • Don't forget about the "Land of lakes Boys Choir" One of the best in the world from Minnesota

  • one of my favorite songs. We did this piece when I was in high school and when I sang with a community choir here in my home town
