[@SherryEHuth]

Yay! for decent music praising The Lord Jesus Christ in celebration of His incarnation on Earth! Yes, it keeps us sane

[@BaldricksTurnip1]

Beautiful,wish I could be young again,life passed so fast I think I missed it.

[@Malleolust]

One of my favorite Christmas songs. We sang it in my High School choir for a Winter Concert (I as a Soprano), and it was the most beautiful, reverent Christmas song I have ever sung. Hearing it now still brings tears to my eyes. It touches the heart of hearts. Blessed Yeshua Messiah of Nazareth, Savior of the World via the Father, through whom we may press toward the mark of a higher calling. Peace to all! I miss Christmas.

[@presenceispretty]

brings back so many memories, wish i could go back and appreciate being young again.

[@levimacdonald5188]

Agreed 🎶🌟 👏💕

[@xman4un]

Having performed this carol annually as part of a boys & girls choir, I can tell you that both are very as much moving and devotional...it works both ways.

[@SuperPurpleMoonlight]

This song is SO beautiful. I love the words, especially the last verse and the tune is just beautiful. These boys sing this song amazingly well.

[@Maritimer2009]

Such pure voices in perfect harmony!

[@levimacdonald5188]

Rip Patrick Ashbury 🌹🙏✨💙🌟 A lovely xmas carol🎶..

[@hollisterpatricia]

so young to have such nostalgic memories.a beautiful heart must hold such memories.

[@TheAngelsong1]

these boys are professional singers in every way,how dare people slur at them in this manner ,just proves what a sick perverse world we live in.i think they are incredible young performers in which will keep music in the real sence not modern rubbish we have to painfully endure well done lads

[@Heartlessiceboy]

Tears in my eyes I still remember when I was a choir soprano boy and sang christmas carols like for 6 years :(

[@mskmolne]

Wow, they are so good! Beautiful voices!!! And they are so cute too! Great looking smiles:)

[@marcopolo3840]

This is the best song I have learned in years. I played it on flute for my church this year for the first time! I wanted it to go on forever

[@lynettejames1146]

Absolutely beautiful. I could listen to this for ever!

[@wize1621]

+Lynette James Ditto!

[@SuperPurpleMoonlight]

Simply stunning. One of my favourite carols/poems and set to a beautiful melody. The singers are very talented also, beautiful voices. Thanks for uploading this. :-)

[@huertasdanny]

This is such a beautiful song, i learned it last year with my choir group from work, we sing once a year for christmas in the building lobby. I sing the bass. This song gives me a lot of inner peace and longing for being a good boy, because i am bad. very bad.

[@bafitchbb24]

Absolutely gorgeous! I have sang this song before with a more mature choir, but these voices are perfect for this song and paints a picture of exactly what is being song! Bravo!

[@chrija2004]

Wunderschön!!

[@brixduh]

The arrangement is impeccable.

[@excitedeggs]

We are at my school too! That's so cool! It's like a lullaby

[@annwnevelyn]

Oh this descant is magnificent...This is one of the songs I wish would not end for perhaps an hour or so. What a beautiful sound :]] Amazing. (and GREAT composer! GO Gustav Holst!)

[@aseretkavon]

I'm getting tingles like every 2 seconds from how good this sounds!!!!

[@wize1621]

Glorious group! Glad you introduced me to them! Thanx!

[@songsmith31a]

A fine performance of a deservedly famous English carol.

[@cinnamongrrrl4u]

I am myself an atheist and I still find this piece moving and beautiful. So haunting and sad but yet uplifting and beautiful in every way.

[@AlexEwan1]

My favourite carol sung very well. Way better than my choir by miles.

[@dcview91]

Absolutely lovely!

[@07510598118]

I have to sing this!!!!!

[@totallotrnutter]

i love this, my mum used to sing it with me..... she's dead now...:(

[@Gaseoushead]

Beautiful rendition of a great Christmas carol. Unfortunate video.

[@riverp9019]

LOVELY STUFF CHOIR BOYS, YOUVE MADE MY CHRISTMAS OUT HER INNHONG KONG, WHEN YOUR VISITING, ALWAYS WELCOME TO STAY ANYTIME?

[@SuperPurpleMoonlight]

I love this song

[@SherryEHuth]

Some people have to ruin something pure and beautiful! What a shame. I just left another song where some degenerate tried to ruin another beautiful song. It was by Buddy Holly.. This song is "splendiferous" along with the wonderful young lads performing it!:)

[@4FabBEATLES]

they sing all kinds of less-known songs and make them well-known. they're good singers and there's nothing wrong with them or their voice just because they're young.

[@alphashed]

It must be part of God's Blessing to us, if from the bleakest of times, Christina Rossetti could pen these beautiful words. According to Wikipedia: Although the lyrics were written as a poem by English poet Christina Rossetti before 1872, it was published posthumously in Rossetti's Poetic Works in 1904 and became a Christmas carol after it appeared in The English Hymnal in 1906 with a setting by Holst... And the boys are absolutely charming and sing beautifully.

[@paracletelux]

Before I got this CD, I was hoping Andrew would reprise the Bob Chilcott setting of Mid-Winter (which he sang so beautifully at the Chorister of the Year competition). Alas! But at least they went with Holst over Darke.

[@lizziburgess6886]

This is the closest I have found to my choir's singing of this song on KZbin. These guys are awesome and more straight than you'll ever be,@dou fas

[@fenn69]

I played this song in HS band as well...

[@marcopolo3840]

@annwnevelyn I agree, I played it at my church for the first time in my life! I did not want to stop, I just wanted it to go on forever!

[@jenniferwatts3777]

In memory of my 2 bffs

[@apca08]

AGREED!!!!!!!

[@ClarinetDan]

@CatMaster87932 I hear ya!! Theres no way in hell (pardon my language) that my choir could ever have sounded as good as that, or pronounced as well as them.

[@LazlosPlane]

Beautiful music. Gay video.

[@Jifeee]

I never cant decide if Harold Darke or Gustav Holst holds the best composition of this song. However, both versions are extremely beautiful! Imo the song should only be performed by a boys choir.

[@thecurledfreckle]

Boy sopranos...how dare they have a better sound than the first sops!!!

[@jenniferwatts3777]

Yes,but my best friend can't see another Christmas.

[@RandommmBabes]

I cant beliveve people call them gay? Thats wrong... Their voices are just perfect..

[@azmoonbeam]

you may not believe in God, but He believes in you...

[@highone213]

Haha, can't even remember posting this comment :) However, I totally agree with you.. It shouldn't (and doesn't) matter. I didn't mean to offend anyone with my comment, even though it might looks that way. Maybe I thought he meant they aren't as attractive to girls as boys who don't sing. It's a long time ago :)

[@FeelinBlu]

i play this on VIOLIN ;)

[@mammatirs85]

@totallotrnutter she will be watching down on you and she will be happy that you remember that she used to sing it :) xxxx

[@88makeupgirl]

my brother is on of them

[@drc_1990]

@soccerking9270 You mean "ours."

[@WhiteSilverAngel]

You pronounce Bass as Base. (I know weird right?...)

[@AprilBraswell]

what is the purchase the album url, pls?

[@gingerbread6304]

Here it is on Amazon. Merry Christmas :) www.amazon.com/The-Carols-Album-International-Version/dp/B0059F9LVK/ref=ntt_mus_ep_dpi_1

[@oneyee]

It is at the same time prescious and tragic that the window of time for a boy's most beautiful voice is very small. That is my guess for the turnover of singers. I think boy soprano is the utmost perfection of a human sound. No wonder they used to mutilate a person in an attempt to capture that special gift.

[@SuzyBriseno]

Beautiful singing and images, but hearing this carol while watching the boys sing other music cognitively dissonant.

[@thebestwillow]

@Josephpalmer2000 whats wrong with people is a tendency to use "gay" as a random insult with no real meaning behind it, and a homophobic attitude they are probably unaware of, which they have picked up from the homophobes around them.

[@highone213]

@dolunaydainsanolan Gay? They're getting more girls than you'll ever have

[@nydamboy]

nice singing, but nothing matches up with the video. takes away from the mood. not a fan of the video

[@dolunaydainsanolan]

gay and religious boys.

[@amisavyn3621]

ur just jelly they sing better than u and i agree wit this person at the bottom OvO
