As i listen to this purity and musicality ... on the 23rd of january I may add ... thery are pitch perfect , absolutely perfect . In fact my Spider sense is tingling... I have played it 4 times to be sure. Decades before the Vocoder.. Thank you thank you for posting this. It gives me a glow internal. And yes....they were clearly the best of their age.

@sundayliein4 Thanks, I'm aware of that. But the choir is British.

@GlassedXKE This is a French Tune.

Can I find the score of this version?

All things of beauty come from England ;)

A lovely reflection of the joy of the incarnation of Jesus Christ, son of God. I just found this wonderful album in a thrift shop.

Yesterday I visited a concert at a church, and a girls choir sung this. It was very heartwarming.

Well sung. This tune is a dance tune in Arbeau's L 16th c. 'Orchesography,' called "Branle l'Officiel." I have set it to a choir singing the hymn for a Christmas pageant a couple of times, with the dancers in early garb, it worked well. (However, I'm NOT implying it was used that way historically: the hymn text was written in 1924). I had thought to link a clip of the dance, but no YT examples show Arbeau's original correctly reconstructed: they're all re-choreographed and I don't have a video.
