Sing along with The King's Singers: Ding! Dong! Merrily on high

Whilst things are not 100% back to normal for choirs around the world, we're sharing this series of videos to help you get back in good voice with some famous choral repertoire. This Christmas we're releasing two famous traditional English carols, which also appear on our brand new album. This is 'Ding! Dong! Merrily on high' in its most famous arrangement, by Charles Wood.

Thank you King's Singers !

[@janetsimmons5264]

Thank you. Always nice to see and hear the King Singers. More please. From Janet x

[@scholarPips]

Music is an international language of the soul. Wonderful rendition, with one voice

[@snarrlyillustration]

Love singing with The King's Singers! It'd be a dream to see one of these for New Day. That song introduced me to the King's Singers and has been my favorite ever since.

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

I thoroughly enjoyed that i travelled back over 50 years to my schooldays singing in the school choir both in school and in town carol concerts xx

[@sallyhinkebein257]

Thanks for sharing! Lovely!

[@dylanrestau8413]

Loved it, keep up the great work!

[@BarleyC]

Beautiful! Thank you so much for this! Season’s Greetings!

[@hei7586]

Thank you so much and a very happy christmas to you!

[@lindyhanson714]

I had to carol with this song at my high school and it was so high for the sopranos that we were destroying our voices so bad. I'm just glad you men can do it so much more beautifully 😍

[@marioisawesome8991]

are u sure those are sopranos then lmao……

[@y.s320]

Wow!!!beautiful✨✨✨ Thanks for sharing!

[@rodrigocaldeirajs928]

Very Beautiful👏👏👏👏 Congrats!!

[@freedom4131]

Thank you so much!! So beautiful:) I'm happy.😊

[@DominicManatadOfficial]

Christmas greetings to everyone here on KZbin and beyond… It’s amazing! ♥️

[@tokunboomonubi4329]

I have been looking for a rendition that harmonises this song this way for about 30 years. I heard this done like this just once at my Sister's School Christmas Concert. Thank you guys... Although I found it a bit fast. Had to take the speed down to 0.8x

[@fulgenjbatista4640]

🕊🌟🕊 OMG OMG this is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 🙏💜🙏 💜🎵💜

[@josephhackett9690]

Awesome! Yep, Awesome……

[@fprina73]

Amazing! You guys are REALLY great!

[@ZipplyZane]

I love that I can 100% hear your accents. Normally I find Bel canto style singing smooths over the characteristic differences. But here is pain as day with the sopranist.

[@ArchetypeGotoh]

That ending PSA! Based on the part you sing, i would not have guessed that’s how your speaking voice would be, but it does seem appropriate too… song is such an interesting thing

[@tomsolon9766]

most male altos/sops are basses in voice

[@lucascalma605]

Merry Christmas 2023 to all who watching this video right now!

[@claudiacastelletta]

[@madalenesimons1319]

[@adamhenderly1602]

[@P4hs]

AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEESSSSSSSOOOMMEE ! 🤗👍

[@brodymclaughlin]

They look so uncanny, but well sung.

[@jeskehendriks]

I was so sad to learn that the concert me and my friends were going to (Amsterdam) was cancelled due to covid.. hopefully we'll get another chance to hear you guys singing IRL someday!

[@mariezuzannelaurent8112]

C'est très beau à l'année prochaine

[@anshk7076]

had to put it to 0.75x speed to practice :D thank you!

[@ankavoskuilen1725]

Cool! I just did the same!

[@neilnelson1696]

Nice

[@MrFlugelTrumpet]

👏👏👏

[@influencija]

Would it be possible for you to do a sing along version of If Music Be The Food Of Love?

[@ZipplyZane]

It's interesting to me that you double up on the lowered voices, not the higher ones. Usually even the best falsetists can be overpowered by just one tenor. Trying not to overpower with that many singing in model voice mist be tricky.

[@mariezuzannelaurent8112]

J'aura aimé la traduction en français merci reçois meilleurs vœux pour l'année prochaine

[@sannydelantar2336]

Hello! By any chance do you know the title of this certain Christmas that is melodically similar with Ding! Dong! Merrily on High, but the lyrics goes something like this: Sing a merry merry song the Christmas bells are ringing Voices bright and clear, like happy angels singing Aaaaaaallelujiah, allelujiah Thank you!

[@mariezuzannelaurent8112]

C'est pour j'annee prochaine..

[@LucilleJadeGalvan]

What is the tempo of this piece?

[@elchatismiquin6445]

Great english accent

[@Nikioko]

I know this song a lot slower. ;-)

[@FLOWERSANDSLOTS]

It's interesting that you include the sheet music and then do not sing it as written (in the music). Last bar of the word "Gloria".... ;)

[@loge10]

I'm sure I'm in the minority but their faces give me the creeps. It distracts from the music - but then we're in the "look-at-me look-at-me" era. And I'm a professional tenor who has followed the King's Singers for decades.
