"Love's Pure Light" (Silent Night) by Elaine Hagenberg

[@newmyer1]

Our local San Juan Symphony Chamber Singers performed this version last night at our local Christmas concert....... and I was so moved I had to find it on KZbin when I got home to relive it...... and relive it I have a few dozen times since arriving home! Such a beeeaauutiful version of this Christmas classic, and so well done by this wonderful choir. 🙂

This will be the song I listen to before I die

[@zammerman9424]

Just heard it at church today. Major chills. Probably my favorite version.

This -- this brought me to tears in worship. I have never before commented on a video, but this is spiritually and musically magnificent

[@MarleneGrunowf]

Neither have I and I agree!

[@craigjohnson4809]

What a gifted composer she is. This piece is so beautiful and such a tribute to the birth of our Lord. 🙏

Love's pure light ( silent night ), beautiful love's pure light, thank you.

THE MOST ASTOUNDING, HUMBLING ARRANGEMENT OF SILENT NIGHT...PRECIOUS, MOVING, TENDER...❤😢❤

[@jordanwollf3732]

I'm a huge fan of Elaine Hagenberg's work; her writing is incredible. My choir is doing three of her pieces for our year-end concert alone. But this piece is beyond stunning. It's entirely a category of its own, and I never tire of hearing it. The way it conveys hope and nostalgia while, somehow, also looking forward to the cross makes me eternally thankful and humbled knowing that that baby of purest love would die for me. It's astonishing and heartbreaking in the most uplifting and glorifying way possible. I don't know how else to express that feeling. Incredible.

Our Utah Voices choir is singing this for our Christmas program this year and I am so in love!

[@AngelKatLove3142]

My college’s honor choir and orchestra is doing this for our Christmas show. I’m a first soprano and I absolutely can’t wait!

[@txsgul]

I just sung this for my wintet concert as the only female tenor it was amazing

[@mikem189]

Franz Gruber and Joseph Mohr would be deeply honored by this. Of course they had no idea how much they have contributed to Christmas worship over the years. But this version is special. Moving beyond words and beautiful beyond belief. Very well done! Very well done indeed!

[@randijackson4694]

Glorious. Rarely do I hear a choir so perfectly blended...pitch, volume, intonation, mixing, and even the miking. Whoever worked with this choir did a phenominal job. Plus, it was so nice to see a choir where no one was gyrating. Their lovely, respectful demeanor and beautiful attire only added to the perfection of this performance. The orchestra was also perfection. No doubt, if the Lord should tarry, this piece and its arrangement will be a gift to many souls throughout the years. Bravo to all of you.

So beautiful! Got the tears going... *sniff* Thank you!

[@ziply123]

This is splendid, radiant, and so beautifully performed by these young singers.

[@ObiWanFan30]

We’re going to be singing this for our Christmas concert next Sunday.

[@cuongmr5533]

We are Saigonchoir From Viet Nam, have to say that always a big fan of your wonderful works. This is just glorious

[@christinesanken]

Absolutely amazing!!

[@tjtheyoungest1832]

This is the most beautiful, calming, and cinematic rendition of Silent Night I've ever heard. I got major nostalgia listening to this and I'm not even sure why. 😂 Amazing and gorgeous, ma'am!!

[@Ashton123082]

As wonderful as this feels to listen to, it feels even better to sing. We will be performing this for our Christmas performance this year and it's such a gorgeous experience to practice it.

[@deborahbarrett2385]

What a radiant piece, immaculately performed!

[@dross24MA]

This is such a refreshing alternative to the "standard" melody - it truly expresses feelings and meaning. We just performed it this past Sunday in our winter concert. [2024 JubilateSings in Massachusetts]

Matthew 5:8. in JESUS name...Thank YOU! LORD!

[@djwood8079]

[@TonyLatessa]

Kudos Elaine Hagenberg! Magnificent piece! Our choir and orchestra will be performing this for the Christmas at Wooddale 2024 concert and I'm so looking forward to it.

[@lukasbrandon5735]

I’m so excited to perform this tomorrow, one of my favorite pieces i’ve ever sang in choir.

[@sandrasenatore8746]

Sublime and soothing! Thank you! Merry Christmas in July ❤!

[@chrissy4752]

How beautiful!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@kasdanasal]

Just listened to the singing hoosiers perform this at their "chimes of Christmas" concert yesterday. SO BEAUTIFUL

[@williamkim1198]

I was the timpani player as part of the IU Wind Ensemble that accompanied the Singing Hoosiers this year. While the ensemble never played in this piece, I, as well as several other wind ensemble members, cannot stop thinking about how beautiful and moving this song was. Lots of tears were shed in the pit during this song. You are not alone in your thoughts. I was wondering who else would bring this piece up from the Chimes of Christmas concert.

[@kasdanasal]

@@williamkim1198 Thank you for your part in the performance as well! I really enjoyed the IU Wind Ensemble!

[@scottkiser2886]

Amazing, beautiful, inspiring

[@kevindejong7754]

Tears of joy! Thank you

[@clevelandsumpter4388]

That is beautiful and flowing. I love her works. I am hoping our choir get a chance to sing this.

[@rebeccaong5893]

I like the way you wove the traditional melody in throughout! And I love some good timpani :).

[@secretstars]

Just beautiful! What a blessing!

[@TheHLM1]

A beautiful setting. Thank you.

[@mandytreutens9099]
