HTHS CHAMBER CHOIR CAROL OF THE BELLS

[dani.ulery]

*listens to the Tenor part* This sounds familiar...

**SSA FLASHBACKS**

[brokuolisoup]

Soprano's need to round out their vowels
Edit:
Wow… 2 years later I come back to this and EVERYONE needs to round their vowels. There’s a tenor absolutely blasting the section hell and back. NOBODY is listening to each other and they focused way too hard on dynamics which are too sudden and lack growth 😰

[rachelmartin]

This is really good, I just wish there where stronger dynamics.

[SR-ufpt]

I was in Chorus all four years of high school -- I begged the choir director every year to let us sing this song, and he'd say, "But we sang it last year!" I said, "But people love it!" He gave in. We brought down the house each time.

[chanopale]

I have to sing this song in choir this Thursday

[rosemari]

this is the arrangement my choir’s doing, and it sounds lovely!

[Savagemister]

I'm seeing other comments much like the one I am about to make. I've been searching for at least a decent rendition of this gorgeous carol, and had been coming up short. I just watched The Mormon Tabernacle Choir expecting greatness, but it was simply TOO FAST. This is perfect. Bravo to everyone involved.

[jakelane]

By far best version on YouTube - crisp and not drowned out by instruments, great bass vocal presence, unlike most.

[iprobablyforgotsomething]

Which arrangement is this? It's hard to find this speed-version!

[m_artroom]

I feel like the high school choir versions are the best

[Kūsho-lp]

Singing this every day for middle school choir is the best part of my day

[emanleyful]

Listened to many versions out there on youtube - and without a doubt as a musician I can honestly say, it is the best interpretation of this piece I have heard. Often, a fine performance is overshadowed by a poor recording. This has a fine recording and top notch musicianship.

[_lolz_its_me_]

I literally can’t stop listening to this. Absolutely amazing!😍

[ahmetkaran]

I was born in a muslim family but christian choirs and gospels make me relaxed

[jenniferlloyd]

That's a difficult arrangement and you did it well. A couple of things could be tweeked, be careful of your diction and be sure to cresendo and decresendo adequately, as that is what brings the audience to the height of the piece. A properly song piece will bring the audience on a journey with you. Bravo and brava!

Carol If The Bells Lyrics: Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
With joyful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear, words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air
Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring, while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
On-on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"

I'm from Brazil and I tell you, this is not a song, it's an anthem! angelic voices coming together and making this great melody. This is wonderful! 😍
A hug from Brazil, may God bless each one's life! Like this comment so I can come back and enjoy this beautiful song again. 🇧🇷

It is very pleasant to hear how the Ukrainian song “Shchedryk” by composer Nikolai Leontovich is being sung in America, and it is even more pleasant to realize that it has become so dear to Americans as to us, Ukrainians. It was nice to listen, thanks.
