I visited David's blog site today. He found a video from a British TV show called 'Britain's Got Talent'. He said that he almost started crying when he watched the video of a 13-year-old boy singing "PIE JESU".
I love to listen to boy soprano, and I have a CD including "PIE JESU", it is one of my favorite.
Just my opinion, soprano is the only boy voices for me. Of course, I don't mean female voices is not good. But boy's are short-lived voices, so the temporary nature gives me a special feeling.
And, I'm not a christian, but I love listening to anthem. I had a chance to listen to anthem by a cathedral chorister in Paris by chance. In the sacred atmosphere, I couldn't stop crying from the angel voices.
I'd like to show you this video.
The original poster gives us information,: "Aled Jones performing O Holy Night, first as a young Aled, then Aled today."
I think the BBC's editing team did a great job. Don't you think so?
"O Holy Night"
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
Thank you for reading.
