    This is the warmest and happiest sounding Christmas song I've heard

    Sounds like something from The Lion King. It also inspired me to make a song that I’m making for a video game, so that’s pretty cool.

    This choir sounds even better live, and their director is so awesome to work with. I had the chance once and had my mind blown.

    Heard this "Noel" for first time a few days ago sung by the Pima Community College Chorale & College Singers here in Tucson, AZ and it sounded just like this group! Very powerful piece of music telling that "/Jesus has come to live with us and if you want to know the Child you have to come kneel". Wish it had been presented via video but by the sounds it went exactly as presented here in Tucson!

    I saw this choir do this at my church, the live experience makes the goosebumps so much bigger.

    All I can say is you should have been there for the live performance. This exact performance. I was there in 2005 and it was breath taking! Truly inspiring.

      Kendra, That is when I first heard it myself and this song brings me such joy. My daughter Megan was a sophomore that year and had a solo for Ox and Asses.

    It could help me with confidence that's for sure. It could help us come in on time. it could help us not move during the performance of the song. it helps with staying at one dynamic level. it helps with voul sounds.
