Winchester Cathedral Choir - Still Still Still

💖💖💖💖💖💖

Lyrics I used to think it was partly in German but it was just their accent.
Still still still
Let all the earth be still
For Mary in her arms enfolding
Hope of all the world is holding
Still still still
Let all the earth be still
Sing sing sing
Sweet angel voices sing
While Jesus lies in manger dreaming
Seraph choirs from heaven are streaming
Sing sing sing
Sweet angel voices sing
Light light light
Let all the earth be light
The holy star its news ablazing
Sign of hope for nations raising
Light light light
Let all the earth be light
Sleep holy Jesus sleep

This reminds me of a dream I had one time. I was flying really high and it took me a very long time to get there somebody was leading me and I kept wondering, when are we going to get there, this is really far and then finally I heard a lot of fluttering of wings as we were entering a building and we were all squashed in there at the top and since I was one of the first in, I was at the very top and couldn't see anything. Then I realized we were all angels at the nativity, the birth of Yeshua our savior and we were singing to him. It was a very touching dream that I'll never forget.

Anybody have the lyrics? Beautiful! Wunderschon!

LYRICS

Just hate it when the music drowns our beautiful voices.

Such a beautiful carol, sung by one of the best cathedral choirs, thank you for this heavenly peaceful music, happy Christmas

Xmas 2021.
Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas.
Amen.
🙏🙏🎄

Strings too loud.

Armonizzazione bellissima....

Beautiful rendition. Thank you Winchester.

Amazing!! Praise be to the newborn King!

The string arrangement is exquisite. I just wish the singers heard and appreciated that. It's like two different performances on top of eachother. The strings make me weep, truly.

Stunningly beautiful

I sang this song with my choir in college way back in the 80s. This version is so beautiful it is bringing tears to my eyes.

Beautiful!

Mack Wilberg (MTC) arrangement, beautifully performed. Lovely to hear in German.

One of the loveliest of Christmas Carols With reverence sung Thank You

I admire these boys to have an opportunity to sing in a cathedral choir.  It teaches them what is meant by sublimity & harmony in life.

Best sung a cappella and without this slushy orchestral accompaniment - or the descant. It's a simple Christmas cradle song! Predictably, the Vienna Boys Choir know how to sing it.

Richer notes of Christmas spring from all cultures and perdure through time and space.

And out of the darkness there rose a light, illuminating the deepest corner of the human heart.
This Mack Wilberg arrangement achieves a tenderness that is profoundly beautiful.
2018 update: I return again to hear this great song in the darkest time of the year, reassured that some things never get old, never lose their beauty.

it seems a bit 'fast'.

Oh, wie ich die Engländer liebe! Man muss nur an die Proms denken. Wer auf der ganzen Welt bekommt so etwas fertig?......Ich finde jetzt keine Worte für dieses wunderschöne Lied und DIESE! Interpretation, ich geniesse einfach nur und sage Danke!!!

Wonderful interpretation of a beautiful Austrian carol.I have sung this carol in a small community choir many years ago.I simply thought there was not much better music than that carol.

Absolutely stunning-moves the Spirit.

I prefere it in German but this is still very good

Mack Wilberg has really transformed this piece with his arrangement. It's stunning...

Vanderflash, this lovely arrangement is apparently by Mack Wilberg. This is according to the BBC website.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!! Thank you for share !!!
