My fellow #cosoclassical people:
This is MAJOR news!!!
Decca is re-issuing their LEGENDARY recording of the Britten War Requiem with the composer conducting! It is an all-new high definition digital transfer and remastering.
Here is composer John Rutter (who was in the boy choir of the original recording) talking about this release. More info and links are in the video description.

The song we all know as the "Ukrainian Bell Carol" was originally a New Year song performed by carolers going door to door, wishing prosperity in the coming year.
Here is a performance of the original version with English translation. FYI, it never mentions bells at all. Those words were written later by Peter Wilhousky when he repurposed the song.

I just came across this stunning arrangement. The original Irish Mixolydian-Dorian melody is tastefully embellished and set over a modern harmonic bed. And that soloist!!

Getting "Whammed" only counts if it's the original. Covers are exempt.

In my humble opinion, THIS is the war-horse that should be sung by choirs during Advent; not the Hallelujah Chorus, which has nothing to do with the season.
Besides, Mendelssohn writes better for choirs.

With all respect to King's Cambridge, this non-professional choir from Bethlehem, PA just flat out does this classic arrangement better.

I've always loved this particular setting of this text, in the way that it conveys the "mystery".

Most of you will know this carol in a modernized, minor-key arrangement. Here it is in its authentic modal, irregular metered glory.

I recommend listening to the traditional harmonization of this carol by Praetorius first, as it is the basis for this piece (see previous reply).
