@OrganistsVoice While you are right that this is, in a sense, a one-day-a-year carol, it is so very popular that it cannot be reserved for just the midnight service of Christmas Eve. Everyone wants the pleasure of singing this carol, and Carol Services do not always coincide with Christmas Eve. Where I come from, cities and towns have huge open-air carol services in public parks, generally a week or so before Christmas, and thousands of people attend. This is always sung by the whole crowd.

@mickigoe Agree! I find this altogether too precious! There is no sense of Heavenly hosts singing "Hallelujah" or radiance streaming, or the Joy of redeeming grace! This softly, softly stuff is fine for Brahms' lullaby, but not for the second and third verse of this carol, which should swell gradually to express the depth of Joy! Don't like the arrangement.

Find his strangely depressing - reeks of elitism and soul-numbing institutionalism - the boys are brilliant singers but lack joy.. or conviction ..or something......

This is just beautiful even after Christmas it makes me just love music, God, and cry

@garyhotp1 I agree that music is to be played at a certain time. Happy Birthday is surely a lyric that is so specific that it is for that time!..Happy Birthday is not a beautiful rendition of a beautiful tune! Well I think we all love good music so why argue . God loves us and we are divine.

Very nice:)

@rosemarydragon Surely you will agree that there are music to be play at certain time. Example, you will not be singing happy birthday during a wedding ceremony. No songs to celebrate the spring to be sung during say summer. It is just the nature of the songs to express feelings of certain time or events. And lets enjoy how that feelings is being expressed in the divine human voice.

Magnificent is the only word for this. All respect due, to all of you, from The King's College of Cambridge Boys Choir!

Both the setting and the singing are done very beautifully, but ... : it deeply hurts my Austrian soul, if Stille Nacht (Silent Night) is changed in its natural, original harmonies.
Shall everyone sing it however he likes it - there´s only ONE original!
By the way: it is a song, that really should be sung exclusively for Christmas (and not for Advent!) - midnight or morning service!!

@OrganistsVoice i do respect your religious believes so forgive me for saying that I love this rendition of this Carol! I do not understand why music, even if it is religious should be bound by some rules about when it is to be played. I could play this is August if it made me happy. Sorry if that sounds disrespectful.
