   Doing this solo today. And no, not a “heartful of mirth” as reprinted in earlier editions!

   Why do young boys have such beautiful angelic singing voices? I always think they sound so much nicer than when girls sing together. Of course, there are many girls with lovely singing voices too but as far as choirs go, I don’t think you can get any better than young boys. Their voices always sound so clear and sweet.

   Spiritus Dei: Thanks for the whole series of these. We don’t have boys’ choirs in the states, for the most part, and this is truly sublime. One question: which Sunday of Advent is this done on, or is it Christmas Eve? I ask because I just have to hear it live some day.

   @pollr003 give it another listen….to the organ parts….and reconsider….I think the Chapel organ adds to the peaceful setting of this carol….Merry Christmas

    yeah i prefer the holst version too. I like having the choir on its own and just the beauty of the the human voice on its own!

    Darke’s setting to these beautiful words by Christina Rossetti is most definitely my favourite. The choir sing this beautifully (brought a tear to my eye). Thanks for posting.

    Perfect and sublime. Harold Darke at his best with those fabulous understated suspensions in the middle parts. And bravo to the lovely tenor – especially as he decresc’es followed by the full unaccompanied harmony of the last verse. Too beauiful for words.

    In my next life, I’d like to come back as a man. There is nothing in this world more beautiful and touching then men’s voices. (and treble’s) Especially this Tenor is so amazing!
