Thank you! Beautiful recording - I sang this as a young chorister myself, and I really wanted to hear it tonight. Beautiful job.
Thanks for listening!
Perfect ❤
Simply glorious!
Y love this song we even work on this song at school when y have english 😁
good
GOOOOOOD! Lol XD
the music is beautiful, the text if deeply analyzed, creepy!
Why creepy?
@@love2sing20101 "Hey Adam! Howdja like dat apple!"
(The last verse is definitely creepy! If Adam didn't take the forbidden fruit, we would all still be in the GARDEN OF EDEN, but this guy is happy that it happened because he loves "Heaven's Queen" that much? Somebody has been copying too many manuscripts! LOL! )
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Adam lay ybounden
Bounden in a bond
Four thousand winter
Thought he not too long;
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
And all was for an apple
An apple that he took
As clerkës finden
Written in their book
Deo gracias!
Deo gracias!
Né had one apple taken been
The apple taken been
Né had never Our Lady
A been Heaven's Queen
Blessèd be the time
That apple takèn was
Therefore we moun singen:
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I find most recordings of this particular carol entirely too fast. It feels rushed. I tried listening at 0.75 speed, and actually found it an improvement (though the acoustics are somewhat off due to the stretching).
I agree. The speed has to be reduced a bit when singing in "wet" acoustics (any typical cathedral for example) or it becomes unintelligible. Compare this recording with the Westminster Cathedral recording or either of the King's College recordings on Hyperion (they're both on YT music).

This piece really only works with young people singing it. Not to be age-ist but the mixed choir SATB version of CoC should be retired from performance.
No way! So many of us would never had heard it, or gotten to sing it! Because we had that experience, we fell in love with it, and here we are, seeking out the superior sound of the original!
Yes but where are they from? They could be American, though they sound good enough to be British.
Canadian; Quebec.
Oh YES!! Really terrific singing (and harping!) Thanks for the info - Canadian choirs are always top value.
