Our little not-quite-ready-for-primetime church choir is practicing "He is Born, the Divine Christ Child" after the 19c French Christmas carol, "Airs notés du recueil de cantiques spirituels a l'usage des petits". We're practicing it at a ponderously slow pace to learn parts but i keep wanting to sing it at something approaching the pace heard here because we sang this Pierre Certon tune in high school. Oh well... fun memories though.

Que coral qualificado! Realmente ouvi não somente com meus ouvidos, mas com o coração. Com essa qualidade, vocês sem dúvidas podem explorar outras peças como: Now is the month of maying, La bomba, Haec Dies. Continuem nesse caminho!

Magnifique ! Dommage qu'ils n'osent dire les deux derniers versets de la chanson...

I think I recognize this from one of the discs in my library, maybe The King's Singers? In any case, very nice, I like both the choice and performance very much.

The number of subscribers you have is ridiculous. People that watch this and love it should help get the word out. I will, not that it will do much good in my case. :-) Well recorded, and the venue is acoustically spectacular. One suggestion, if I may, is maybe incorporate some of that environment in the video, the stained glass, statuary, architecture, etc. Just occasional cuts showing the best of it. Something I've seen other similar groups do that I personally enjoy. Cheers, looking forward to the next installment.

Added to my a Capella playlist. :-)

So this song is about a dude jealous of his wife? I thought it was a religious song…
