Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - A Christmas Carol Soundtrack

This is the Hark! The Herald Angels Sing sequence from Disney's 2009 movie A Christmas Carol. The original song is called "Touch My Robe." I added two sequences together as one to get the whole song into one clip. All rights go to their proper owners; I own nothing.

This is what most orchestral choir renditions of this song lack. The mood of the song is supposed to be, for lack of a better term, joyful and triumphant! It's a song about an angel announcing the birth of the saviour of humanity for Chrissake!! It's supposed to get you amped up. Most sung versions of this song give it a very soft, flowing mood; as if to say "Oh, what do you know? Our eternal salvation is at hand...isn't that lovely?" This version here, this gets it right; my heart pumping and I am enthralled, as if a great victory has been won for the forces of good in this world.

I say this purely as a musical critic, I'm not even remotely religious.

"God bless us, everyone"


Even those who don't love or even believe in Him. May His light shine on them as well.

The only version of this song that I think does it justice!

My favorite part of the entire movie is when Scrooge and ghost of Christmas Present fly over the giant cross, and Hark the angels Sing reaches its climax. Gdamn visuals man!

[AlexNower-fuvk]

The most magical chord song on Christmas Day brings us a present!

The *REAL* Hark, the Herald Angels Sing.

You know what's funny, there's so many popular movies and stories told around Christmas time, and yet it seems as if many if not all miss the point of celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In large part, that's what I found so beautiful about this film, and Disney's surprising inclusion of songs, carols and mentions of God and Christ(staying loyal to the original story was important in that outcome, no doubt).

[JoseMora-wczz]

This is the most glorious version of this song.

You don’t have to be religious to cherish this song. Good music is just good music .

[ThankYou-bnbp]

I honestly don’t think I have ever heard a more beautiful piece of music in my entire lifetime. THIS arrangement!!!!
I swear … it took me months to remember that a HUMAN arranged this.

This (alongside the Polar Express and Back to the Future) is one of my most-favorite films from Robert Zemeckis.

And forever...

This is the way the song is supposed to be sung :)

First hearing gave me chills. The multiple others reminded me of why it gave me chills.

1:48 - 2:04 That was a magnificent song. Its melody was charming, its musicality was absolutely beautiful, 2:19 and its harmony was angelic and smashing.

Great job, guys. Way to hit a high note in the finale. It make the movie's ending a lot happier. It was a classic.

This masterpiece has become an important part of my life, it is simply magnificent. Thanks Ebenezer Scrooge
