The Choir of King's College, Cambridge set a high standard when singing 'God rest you merry, gentlemen' in the arrangement by David Willcocks at the 2010 Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. This version sung by The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge in 2020 meets that standard. Excellent singing and organ play.

I'm so sorry to say this, as a woman, but it's purely from a technical point of view. Boys have voices very different from that of girls. I would love to hear girls' choirs or mixed choirs, but there must be a place for a boys-only choir.

Indeed, choral music is divine. I also cherish the experience of singing at the Athens University Choir in the 80's.

In 1964 I lived in a small village called Mickleover in Derby. There was a new church that had recently been built, our award winning school choir walked in singing this carol. I was bursting with pride at the capacity audience, it still lives me 60 years later.

This is to Mrs Muriel Wallace. A petite, strong and lovely 80 year old British woman I worked for. Describing this song being in the yearly Christmas program with the Royal family made her voice break, remembering and longing to hear it again. That’s what brought me here. So lovely, just like my memory of 1987 with Mrs. Wallace.

What a huge difference it makes to have women in the choir - this is the age of equality of the sexes, praise God.

The Bible mentions no such equality of the sexes. You're preaching decadent liberalism

@ColmPadraig Even in the complimentarian view, men and women are equal in value but have different giftings and strengths. There's nothing in the Bible that limits women from singing and praising God.

God rest ye merry Gentlemen is in the key of E minor. The last chord is major, which is called a Picardy Third (G#). I am an alto in a church choir and possess perfect pitch, so notice these things. And I have been a Christian 40 years!
@teznasilyazilir14 күн бұрын
Thanks for this valuable info @angelacooper2661. I've been working on this carol for a while and tried some other major and minor chords as well as different bpms to find the perfect sense. As I've learned and felt while listening, E minor has a soothing effect, providing a subtly emotional tone without unnecessary drama. On the other hand, G major, a tone reminiscent of nature’s sounds, has a refreshing and calming energy. I tried A major and liked it, too. Do you prefer E minor or G major or something completely different from them? And what do u think about bpm? The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge uses 124 bpm while Bach Choir uses 143 bpm, both in G major. Which bpm is original or near to original bpm? Do you remember what was it was in the past? Or what it should be for giving a perfect sense for listeners?

@@teznasilyazilirI prefer singing this in E minor, as it is the correct key. (Now aged fifty four) I would notice the tuning pitch of A that an orchestra tunes to the oboe. It is 440 vibrations per second. I think that 124 bpm would have been the case in years gone by, whereas now it should be 143 bpm. The speed is not something that I noticed years ago because it must have been before my time. Perhaps a speed of 135 bpm as a compromise that listeners appreciate.
