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 :)

@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!
