My most favorite version of this song. These guys changed Christmas music forever when the released their first album back in 1984. I really like that this is sung in Latin.

[@allenjones3130]

You should check out MS's "The Christmas Angel", with narration by Chip and the late, great Dame Olivia Newton-John.

[@spydermama9513]

Same!

[@RobertJones-ux6nc]

The way it was originally written as a chant for monks. My favorite also 💖🙏✌🎄

[@alexispehrson4952]

My most favoritest as well!

[@mikkikas6821]

AMEN TO THAT!! My MOST FAVORITE of all Christmas music. FRESH AIRE! This version is SOOOO perfect that as a classical guitarist and singer I ABSOLUTELY HAD to do this Chip Davis rendition or not at all!!❤❤ I'm SO with you on this!! It just doesn't get any better, EVER!!❤❤😊

[@underthesun65]

This is my favorite version of Veni Veni Emanuel. I am so humbled. Praise to the Lord...Father, Son and Holy Ghost forever.

[@emmakawasaki9606]

AMEN!

[@StarlightsRest]

Amen.

[@StasiA70]

My absolute favorite version of this song. Makes me feel so close to our Creator.

[@Timothycpollock]

I agree with you.

[@nickdamato1284]

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ forever .Amen.

[@do9138]

Most beautiful rendition of this wonderful carol I've ever heard. Always brings tears to my eyes.

[@saraklaren]

Enya's version was beautiful as well, but this is my favorite.

[@andrewpetik2034]

My father told me that it reminded him of his days in Roman Catholic Seminary (he was studying for the priesthood when he met my mother, the sister of a fellow seminarian). This version brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it......it does even more so now that both of my parents have passed away.

[@bengarcia7284]

I love listening to this beautiful composition every night during December.

[@jonathanfrancesco3305]

This is an example of why MS got so hugely popular, a piece of music that absolutelty transcends. It's nostalgia for the past and longing for the future at the same time.

[@lurannharmon5981]

You hit the nail on the head, Jonathan.

[@andrewpetik2034]

[@ChonkyCat9000]

This song also calms me down no matter what crisis I get into

[@CDForney]

I always picture myself in an ancient medieval church, back when it was newly built, listening to monks singing this song 🎶

[@ChonkyCat9000]

I feel like I’m in God’s Kingdom of Heaven when I hear this song or any music similar to this

[@dpeders2002]

One can almost see the French monks in the Notre Dame cathedral at worship. Brilliant version.

Best version I've ever heard!...🎶 It almost paralyzes you.

[@Aramanth]

*Best Version of this Song* They captured the spirit and the history of this song so well! The instrumental part with the vocalise is sublime! ⭐ You can feel the ancient origins of this song through this recording!

[@marendenison3550]

Veni veni Emmanuel Oh come, oh come, Immanuel captivum solve Israel to free captive Israel qui gemit in exsilio who cries in exile, privatus Dei Filio deprived of the Son of God. Veni veni O Oriens Come, come, East (star) solare nos adveniens console us with your arrival, noctis depelle nebulas drive away the dark clouds of night dirasque mortis tenebras the gloomy darkness of death. Veni veni Adonai Come, come, Lord qui populo in Sinai who, to the people on Sinai, legem dedisti vertice He gave the law in maiestate gloriae in glorious majesty. Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel Rejoice, rejoice: Immanuel nascetur pro te Israel is born for you, Israel.

[@silva147708]

Words can't describe how much I love this song, especially this version! ❤️❤️

[@Platyfurmany]

Chip Davis's Veni Veni Emmanuel, along with his Stille Nacht are my two absolute favorite Christmas songs! These are among the few songs or works of music which produce in me a frisson even into the depths of my soul. Thank you, Chip, for blessing us with these as well as the rest of your renditions of Christmas music, which have no parallel.

[@ruthmcpherson2311]

I agree My two favorites as well

[@PamelaAMann]

I feel the same way pretty much about these same 2 songs. I will listen to the Stille Nacht year round at times when I need to reach a certain place of inner calm and stillness.

[@teresapappas9773]

Perfectly said!

[@wmpetroff2307]

Another very touching piece is by The Supremes 'Born of Mary" .

[@michaelrex6948]

Veni isn't a Christmas song, though - it's Advent.

[@wmpetroff2307]

The gorgeous arrangement is utterly magnificent!! I imagine a monastery during the medieval periods. Thank You to the brilliant Talents at Mannheim Steamroller and Chip Davis.

[@franksteinmetz6674]

Still in the best after all these years and years to come.

[@mikeveis3577]

This is so beautiful, hearing O Come O Come Emmanuel sung in Latin.

[@burlingtonbill1]

So delicate, so perfect. This earlier MS Christmas music (1st two albums) was absolutely tops - some of the best music EVER made !!!

[@carltonhammock795]

This song makes me think of the people I've known and loved that have gone before me. It makes me think of the Father in Heaven, my savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that resides within my soul. It makes me happy and it brings tears of joy whenever I hear it. My thanks to whoever reads this message. Carlton Hammock

[@yve10E]

My favourite Mannheim Steamroller music, never fails to give me the goose bumps , absolutely beautiful.

[@burlingtonbill1]

ABSOLUTELY !

[@Johndale0]

You bet. We sang this is choirs in church and school, but it sure never sounded like THIS!

[@debraevans3398]

This is such a beautiful rendition of this song, gives me chills when I hear it

One of my favorite Christmas songs

[@matthewericson4831]

Technically advent....lol

[@andrebissonnette3267]

Music for the souls I never heard a music like this one before.... This reaches me in so many ways My being, my completon so far..it brings me a feeling of peace, SERENITY tears of joy....

[@thomas7johns]

Brings tears to my eyes...

[@justcallmesando]

This song reminds me of some of the happiest moments in my life. I got into this Christmas play when I was in high school and the guy who chose the music for the play chose Mannheim Steamroller first two albums for the score. This one got straight into my head since the first time specially when the strings arise. I was playing a monk at the play and we had this sublime and powerful moment of revelation with this song playing in the back. Then the play came to an end with everyone cheering up and wishing everyone else a merry Christmas and the course ended that day as well so we went on vacation to celebrate the holidays. It will always be a part of me and it will always touch my heart.

[@rossam955]

Beautiful like if it was made in Heaven

[@billmcsweeney9701]

Any time of year is a Great time to hear A Fresh Aire Christmas.

[@user-wg2qo4rd3p]

Hearing this incredible version of O Come Emmanuel , reminds me of a night in Boston when I stopped in an old Catholic Church where Monks still chanted in Latin , it was a mystical experience

[@stevesawyer6315]

How fitting for times such as these.

[@SchwererGustavThe800mm]

Mannheim and the boys: *drop this absolute BANGER* *refuses to elaborate* *leaves*

It sounds as if it had been made in heaven. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

[@kendallfowler5532]

My parents had Manheim Steamroller CDs...I grew up listening to them during the Christmas season. This album was a favorite. Latin is such a beautiful language! Hayley from Celtic Woman did a breathtaking cover of this song.

[@menslady125eif2590]

And now we sing this in longing for the return of Christ.

[@gracederrick7990]

So is this what the song means? Longing for God's return?

[@RobertJones-ux6nc]

I love listening to all their music but this is my all time favorite.

[@williammoore6010]

Although it's just July, i just stumbled on this awesome Christmas carol. This is traditionally sung at rhe beginning of Advent in the Roman Catholic church in prepearation for the nativity of the Lord. Tuyly awe inspiring and in Latin, the original language this song was chanted in, amazing. E

[@williammoore6010]

This is the song we sing on the first Sunday f Advent to remnd us of the coming of the Lord.

[@johnspeed790]

A thousand years ago & a thousand years from now...

[@wmpetroff2307]

ohh , I like those words....

[@johndoe5816]

I’ve listened to this song every single year since 1997 (when I first heard it in the 6th grade). I remember listening to it for the first time next to a Christmas tree at night after everyone was asleep. Never thought it’d be a tradition I’d hold.

[@sierratrilogy]

This is the only way I can sing this carol. Drives my family and those around me nuts during the holidays, because I dont know the words in English. I cant help it that I learned to sing this carol by listening to Mannheim Steamroller :-)

[@buchsm1]

Chills. Just angelic and moving

[@Greg-et2dp]

Mannheim steamroller your Christmas 🎄 music is uplifting and awesome 🎄 👌 👏 👍 ❤❤

[@billmcsweeney9701]

Chip Davis is incredible. These renditions are All so beautiful, each in it's own way. If "Veni Veni" doesn't just throw you into the bushes nothing will. Listening to "The Little Drummer Boy" I imagine an orchestra of Santa's helpers with toy soldiers playing. "O Holy Night" Greatest rendition ever? Then you're challenging Michael Crawford. It's SO close. How absolutely beautiful, before, now and always is "Still Still Still". And don't forget Chip's own "Traditions of Christmas" So pretty.

[@NancyKuykendall]

The most beautiful rendition ever. I listen every year and cry every time. I perform this on my soprano every Christmas. It’s beautiful on the recorder.

[@andrebissonnette4394]

Simply touching....reaching your soul in it`s deepest most awakening.

[@celticbabs3105]

MY FAVORITE

[@OrbitFallenAngel]

Truly beautiful and blissful and the music calms me...its so ethereal... The best music I've ever heard!

[@kittyplays2324]

I'm playing this song in orchestra, veni veni Emanuel

[@andrebissonnette4394]

It is this time of the year again when I fill up myself with this beautiful and so magic sounds of inner self, serenity, calm and tranquility. If this is heaven...... well It is possible to be in heaven even on earth.

[@seymourbuttz6419]

The opening chorus always makes me think of the scene from monty python and the holy grail with the priests who are walking down the street chanting and whacking themselves with planks

[@yvonnecamacho9773]

Latin, the Roman language spoken around the time of Jesus’s birth.. how appropriate and beautiful.

[@menslady125eif2590]

Latin is such a BEAUTIFUL language!

[@paulwojcik6339]

True sacred music!

[@pannikattak7533]

Oh My... maybe the best MS ever. Those voices.. with a subtle but effective MS accompaniment. Why did Mannheim Steamroller not continue on this path?

[@cvmetalworks4594]

It is stunning, isn't it? Beautifully done.

[@burlingtonbill1]

Possibly because Jackson Berkey tired of traveling on the road and wanted to stay home and compose? After he left MS, the music seemed to lose its classical base and became more pop-rock - ish.

[@aaromotivestudio3869]

I think I’d listen to this even outside of the Christmas season

[@GSmashGaming]

This is personally my favorite version. Mannheim steamroller is such a wonderful ensemble. I especially love their orchestrated stuff they do on the album. Very reminiscent of medieval times. May the good Lord bless All who are in the comment section . And may he also bless your family The merriest of Christmases to all.

[@marion531]

1:45 - 2:53 is my favorite part of this song

[@MarkAGroh]

yes, so moving, very beautiful....

[@ChucksterJax]

Yes, the delicate sound of the recorders and hammered dulcimer. Very beautiful arrangement.

[@burlingtonbill1]

YES, angelic, and way too short !

[@cindysavage265]

Yes, I love when the sopranos come in. They sound angelic.

[@jacquelinenguyen759]

HEAVENLY SUBLIME MUSIC.

[@pravdavitezi]

The Picardy third at the end makes it perfect!

[@ryleelott1742]

I played this in band my eighth grade year and the beginning was a bassoon solo, and at 0:45 was when the whole band came in. One of my top 10 pieces ever for sure.

[@cuerampart2886]

must've been a special moment

[@cailynnandhayleigh1924]

This song is comforting now ..... I was attacked by Satan or a demon in my sleep I had a spiritual warfare dream

[@user-xj3ml3ti8h]

This is a beautiful song regardless what month it is.

[@menslady125eif2590]

So beautiful!

[@Videogameboy1989]

Sometimes, when I hear this song, this version at least, I imagine a scene from Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol, where Ebenezer Scrooge is leaving his counting house late at night and walking towards his house.

[@kellyjohnson9930]

My Mom’s and my favorite Christmas song❄️

[@MarkAGroh]

[@andrewpetik2034]

My father nearly cried, and I cried with him, every Christmas Season as the CD player came around to this song.....him remembering his time in a monastery when he was studying to be a Catholic priest before he met my mother....me because it is beautiful ....

This is a traditional French carol.

[@1879dessa]

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of a Christmas Eve many years ago. I was listening to this when I got the call. It evokes a sadness when I hear it today. I wrote this afterwards... “Silent Night, Unholy Night” Late one evening, while cold and crisp Listening to carols played with a fife Anticipating the arrival of ‘Ol St. Nick While my partner was in a fight for his life A routine stop on a quiet street Where rooftops were lit with lights It was unexpected and very surreal As the mood quickly turned to fright It was if “I” were calling for this help For these numbers have always been mine The shots rang out and the radio squawked “I need back-up, 259!!!” A broadcast followed as officers responded To a voice that was labored, but clear Although shot 4 times, he got it out A description for all to hear A sea of blue converged on the scene Changing Chaos to complete control Each officer taking on multiple tasks Each officer knowing his role Our Brothers-in-Red quickly made the call And like Angels, they swooped him away They too faced chaos and triaged the scene They were ready for days like today. By the Grace of God, he pulled through And this day, I will never forget Prayers were answered for both of these men As the T.A.C.T Unit neutralized the threat *This was a very hard Christmas (and every Christmas since). I had ridden as car “259” for a while. I fractured my femur during a foot chase (of an Auto thief) just a few weeks before this night. My friend was pulled from his ward and put in my car (259). To hear the broadcast of this night; it is if they were calling my name. Each year, I experience a guilt. A guilt from me not being there. A guilt from being “thankful” I wasn’t there. In the end, the suspect got what he deserved; a bullet with his name on it. Not to sound insensitive, but my friend is reminded daily of this night. He has had a long road of recovery and has handled it very well. This scenario plays in my mind repeatedly. And, for all the officers on the scene that Christmas Eve, I’m sure they can recount each step of that night. As frightening/scary/gruesome as this night was, I didn’t want to be detailed with my descriptions. This short write is NOT about the story, as much as it is about what our “First Responders” go through day in/day out. While everyone is nestled in bed anticipating the arrival of Santa, our responders are keeping evil at bay. They are providing medical help for those in need 24/7. Please keep our police/fire across this nation in your prayers. God Bless...

[@aleciabjorlie3103]

Alan Chaudoin .... God Bless you and thank you for your service. I am glad the officer survived. Crime doesn’t take a break. My grandfather was a policeman. I am proud to say. 🙏

[@cvmetalworks4594]

Alan Chaudoin, thank you for your service. But feel not guilty about what happened. God is sovereign over all the earth, and that was no accident, or "happenstance." Praise God he survived, but it was no fault of yours, brother.

Hugs for you!

[@WidowOfWindsor]

Alan, God's timing is beyond our understanding. Prayers for you... peace beyond understanding, my friend.

[@selenopheria]

This does not belong on a Chrismtas playlist. It's a song for the Advent Season, those 4 weeks preceding Christmas. (The Christmas season starts on Christmas Day, it doesn't end then. No one seems to know that)

[@susansawyer2475]

With the starting of Christmas music just after Thanksgiving, this song is played during Advent. All I can say about this song and this version is that it is perfect to listen to any time of the year.

[@selenopheria]

@@susansawyer2475 You are absolutely right and boy did I sound...gatekeep-y. I think I was just irritated that no one acknowledges the difference between seasons. Thanks so much for being nice about it.
