99% of Christmas these days is just a tacky, cheesy, materialistic fun-fest. The best part of it for me is always Carols from Kings.
And the hauntingly beautiful and sacred melancholy of The Lamb brings tears to my eyes. I suffer from severe MS but this exquisite hymn helps me to believe I will be in a better world one day.

@weirdchickadee - because boys' voices are a different musical instrument to those of girls and because boys' voices have been heard singing like this in cathedral services for at least 1000 years, making it a valuable tradition. Many cathedrals nowadays have a seperate choir for girls who will do different repertoire.

One of the most beatiful pieces of music ever written; abslolutely exquisitely sung by probably the best choir in the world.

Can i just say, that about this girl vs. boy stuff...girls voices, when trained in the english choral tradition sound not too different from boys...and also can i just defend female singers, by saying we do NOT all sound like wobbly, over-done women as soon as we hit puberty? charterhouse school has a mixed choir i was a member of and the sound was exquisite, we'd regularly perform at st martins and people thought it was an all-male choir purely by sound...its just about training

@sorcussbabe77 Yes, fortunately not all sopranos insist on taking on the affectation of excessive vibrato. Interesting someone else mentioned The Sixteen in that respect. But to still say that girls with the same training sound "not too different" from boys is to ignore the evidence of your own ears or be unobservant. I have though heard boys trained to sound more like girls but I've yet to hear girls trained to sound like a decent set of trebles.
