Still sobbing. Merry Christmas everyone:+) May the Christ child and His Mother shower you all with their love, peace and joy this Christmas and always:+) God bless~
This had me almost in tears en route to Wells on the 376 bus. This afternoon. I am hoping that at the Christmas Carol service on the 23rd December to hear it and perhaps to sing some of it. My own self. My brother passed away just last week! And this carol has become somewhat more special.
@@stephenfarthing3819 Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. Soooooo sorry for your loss. Hang in there, k? God is probably using this for you to get closer to Him...always a good idea:+) God bless~
John Rutter is one of the greatest composers of his generation. Love the final acappella verse with the orchestra coming in on the verse. Lovely. Such a beautiful hymn.
Although I sing in a small choir (8-10 voices at most), it is a piece like this that brings the feeling out and tears flowing. How I miss singing with my choir.
Our choir sang this in church today. It was very special ❤. Thank you Mr Rutter for this amazing piece. It’s beautiful and powerful. My daughters favorite Christmas Song
It’s about time he got a knighthood, he has written some of the loveliest music and songs, this is one of my favourites along with the Angel carol. I sing in a choir and get excited when we get to sing a Rutter hymn or carol
I have discovered that John Rutter turned down a Knighthood, he said that there are people more worthy to receive a Knighthood than himself. I say not in the eyes of the people that love your music
As someone who is now involved with more modern worship, i must say I miss these times. Used to sing in a choir in the 80's, and we did this with Mr Rutter once. Beautiful!
Bob: Back in 2007, I had the nerve to actually nominate Mr. Rutter for British knighthood. Imagine, a Yank thinking he could do such a thing! Well, it turned out my letter actually reached the desk of the lady of the house at Buckingham and I guess she was quite taken with my 150-word correspondence, as two British agencies followed up with letters to me, acknowledging my letter. Mr. Rutter later told me he was quite content with his OBE honor alone.
JK, I believe worship is always changing. Having different styles of worship is more a reflection of the diversity of the people God created, than people trying to be cool. I would never go to a church for tradition alone. The most important things are: is God leading me, and is the word of God taught faithfully. It doesn't matter what the worship is like if the teaching is leading you astray. Blessings
Este villancico de John Rutter yo ni lo conocía ni lo había escuchado antes. Mas ahora, cada vez que lo escucho se me contrae el corazón de la emoción y casi me hace llorar, especialmente cada vez que las sopranos hacen esos crescendos en "Gloria, Gloria, in excelsis Deo", y bueno, todas las demás voces son absolutamente magníficas, me parece como si este cántico hubiera sido compuesto expresamente para ellos, porque la excelsa delicadeza y el sentimiento que le imprimen, comenzando desde los pianíssimos hasta los crescendos, me hace escucharlo una y otra vez. A mí este villancico no me cabe ninguna duda de que permanecerá por muchísimas más generaciones, porque una melodía tan preciosa y de tan exquisita factura es absolutamente difícil de olvidar, y es tan profunda que debe quedarse en nuestro corazón para siempre.
It's a few more months since I wrote some words some three months ago. The sense of both grief and determination to do this carol - somehow - remains intact and I remain that resolute to do so! I hope that I get to do it! God willing I will!
I feel something different! A great sense of sadness - three weeks before Christmas 2023 - my brother passed away! I still feel that even today and almost 4 months after his funeral service! I used the second verse at it. We were still in the Christmas season and I will want to do this on the 6th December of this year! Because I want to!
How do you capture The wind on the water? How do you count all the stars in the sky? How can you measure The love of a mother Or how can you write down A baby's first cry? Candlelight, angel light Firelight and star glow Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing The Christ child is born Shepherds and wise men Will kneel and adore him Seraphim round him their vigil will keep Nations proclaim him Their Lord and their Saviour But Mary will hold him And sing him to sleep Candlelight, angel light Firelight and star glow Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing The Christ child is born Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation A child with his mother That first Christmas Day Candlelight, angel light Firelight and star glow Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing The Christ child is born Angels are singing The Christ child is born Songwriter: John Rutter
Covid19 restrictions permitting, Leeds Philharmonic Chorus is hoping to present a concert of John Rutter's music at Leeds Town Hall on December 19th, with John Rutter himself conducting. I wonder if this will be one of the items we sing?
You are very good and this song is really beautiful! My choir sang it during one of our last performances. Part of the arrangment is original. Write this in the search. You're going to love it for sure! Corale Novarmonia - Candlelight Carol (J. Rutter)
BEAUTIFUL. I'm using this U-Tube Version while practicing for Cherokee Chorale (Canton, GA) Christmas concert to be presented 12/14 & 15. If you are listening to this on your computer, you might want to turn down the volume if the tones will be altered by the small speakers.
Where can I get this music from? where can I buy the music sheets??? I really need the flute solo parts! Any help will be really appreciated!!! Thank you!
