  • #RIP John Gardener

  • @alexelliottwelch Ahh sad news. The 12th of this month. This piece of his is one of my all-time choral favourites.

  • According to John Rutter, the actual song has close to 40 stanzas and tells the entire story of Christ. Has anyone actually performed the full version?

  • The version by Gustav Holst has far more verses - but not 40.

  • it is constantly switching between i'm gonna say 2/2 3/2 3/4 2/4 maybe 4/4 you can realyy tell in the openeing between the verses it sounds like it changes like 4 or 5 times.

  • It's largely switching between 2/2 and 3/4 every other bar with the odd 2/4 thrown into the mix too.

    OK I cheated - I have the sheet music here!

  • Carols from Kings College - one of the few things left which the UK can do better than anyone else in the world.

  • Yes, technically a private Chapel with the largest, tallest and most spectacular unsupported hand-carved stone fan-vaulting in the world. From an architectural, historical, and technical viewpoint, King's College Chapel is perhaps the finest building in the world.

  • @alexelliottwelch Indeed, sad news. This carol with his arrangement is one of my favourites!

  • @TheSaltyDogy yes, that is true.....it has several time changes which makes it a real challenge to sing it....

  • Doing this in choir at the moment; you kind of have to ignore the key signature and just follow the line

  • nobody sings all the stanzas because they are anti-Jewish

  • still love listening to this. who cares if its April!

  • GLORIOUS!!! We did this a couple of Christmas's ago at Mr. Paul's/Akron and it was blast to sing as well. Yes, plenty of mixed metre, but it was worth it!

  • Does anyone know where I can get the score for this?

  • I am unsure whether I prefer this or Rutter's arrangements, having sung them both... they are so different, but both amazing :)
