I can't hope to adequately express the joy that the choirs of St. Olaf have brought to my life. Dr. Armstrong and his music department members prepare them brilliantly and watching the students as they sing is a delight. Thanks for posting this.

I had the wonderful opportunity to sing under Dr. Armstrong for AL All state a long time ago and I'll never forget how passionate he was to share his love of music to us. So impressed with him!

This is one of the best if not the best mass youth choirs I have listened to. Simply beautiful.

From a simple ox's stall came the greatest gift of all. Truth and love and hope abide, this Christmastide.

How wonderful that Dr Armstrong is again directing the St. Olaf choir! It is a long time to wait to see these wonderful concerts. Thank you for making them available. Your music shines!

A beautiful performance. If these are different choirs coming together for the concert, then the seamless sound produced by their joining together is even more impressive. The slower and quieter last stanza is movingly rendered. The camerawork and video edit are sympathetic and polished and add to the pleasure.

This carol was written for and first performed by the legendary operatic soprano Jessye Norman, who died in 2019.

Have not watched this video for quite sometime. I thought that I could break the 'habit', but I am hooked! Even after the prolonged absence, this performance has become more beautiful. I absolutely love this video. And, the flute player in the beginning is still beautiful too.

Within a few days we will sing this song with our small men's choir in a small church in Ellecom-Holland. It is a unknown caroll in Holland. I wonder what our audience will say!

While the intro slightly distracts the focus against the actual music, the intro does contain some very interesting reasoning for singing this particular music. Seeing some of the singers 'feel' the music is so powerful. Especially when they move, and use facial expressions. Dr. Armstrong and his music department members have done a wonderful job preparing everyone! And the singers really convey how music can affect everyone, musical or not. Good job to everyone who participated. The orchestra does a good job of not overwhelming the choirs too. The rests that occur right around 5min 30 seconds into the song are truly spectacular. Having that many people all stop and start together is hard, especially without holding the music, but it is executed perfectly!

We have to stop this brainwashing with heavenly sounds that remove us further from the cold stable with only straws plus human closeness for warmth like what refugees from war zones have to endure. These sounds make us feel what heaven would feel like. It further anaesthetized us from compassionate empathy…. make us feel good ! Prokofiev's concertos and other war zone music have reported differently. This we hope is the end game, they in those zones are not even in mid-game yet and see only the endless pit and abyss of dying, starvation and unbelievably unbearable cold !
