For decades, on these islands, the passage from the old to the new year at midnight has been celebrated by singing Robert Burns’ poem. This was first printed in 1788 although the author himself acknowledged that its origins lie in an earlier Scots-language ballad printed in 1711 by James Wilson. In this graceful arrangement, we hear the standard English version of the text set to a traditional Scottish melody. Sopranos and altos predominate in the four verses, sometimes in unison and, at times, underpinned by a Scottish- sounding drone. In contrast, the chorus is richly sung by the full complement of voices.
LYRICS:
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup, and surely I’ll buy mine! And we’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne ...
We two have paddled in the stream, from morning sun ‘till dine; But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne ...
And there’s a hand my trusty friend! And gi’es a hand o’ thine! We’ll take a right goodwill draught, for auld lang syne!
For auld lang syne ...

Really you have Angel voyces
You should stick with, old songs, traditional folk music and new songs that compliment those styles. With so much "change," going on, groups like yours could be instrumental in preserving our history and heritage. Auld Lang Syne is an eternal tune and will never become outdated. Bravo 👏, you guys are top notch.
My grandmother passed away last December. She was not Scotish herself, but her granddaughter (me) was born in Scotland and she had held an affinity with it ever since. She wanted Scotish music for her service, but due to the service-providers we couldn't. Her ashes will be scattered tomorrow, at the place where she was most happy. I won't be able to be there, but I suggested to my family to play a nice version of Auld Lang Syne. My dad asked me if I could find a nice and appropriate version. This rendition made me cry. It is gorgeous. Thank you for making me feel I could be part of her send off.
May she rest in peace, and her memory live on.
May God keep you all in peace.
Much love to you and your family... may all of you find peace. Please cherish her memories and pass them on for the rest of your life, so she will never be forgotten. My dad died two years ago and I am trying the same. I love you all :-*
Gum bi i beò nad chridhe
They aren’t Scottish, but The Elders have a song called “Men of Erin”. Bagpipes are the main instrument and it brings a tear to my eye so much I can hardly bare to sing to it. Beautiful song.
This was sublime. Those high notes from the soprano are exquisite. The faces of the scholars may change but the quality is constant.
Yes! I was thinking I missed the familiar faces but they are just as talented :)
New crew, same magic.

It's a university - mostly, students graduate. In the old days before tuition fees it was possible to hang around nearly indefinitely (personal experience).
Like Keats' nightingale. The voice I hear this passing night was heard
In ancient days by emperor and clown
The end of 2023 marked the end of the first full calendar year without my son's presence in this earthly world. When the clock struck midnight, I stood on the walkway in front of my house under the giant old maple trees, and listened to this play quietly as revelers throughout the valley set off fireworks in the distance, and a soft, light snow began to fall.
❤
Que hermosa reflexión.♥️
❤. You'll be lead into the Presence of your loving Father, by your son, when your own time comes.
@littlebird4515 Thank you for sharing your experience it was truly touching to read about. May all the days that lay ahead be better than those gone by.
The soft snow was your son’s presence and love falling on you.I don’t know the pain of loosing a child and my heart goes out to you❤️🙏🏾
Your version of Auld Lang Syne has made it a lot easier to face 2023, also wonderful to find fellow Irish singing so majestically.
I hope you came back to this video at the stroke of midnight
on 31st December 2023
Happy 2024🎉🎉🎉
Preciosa despedida del 2023.
💛💛💙❤️
Very touching. As a man entering my " golden " years and all of my elders having passed on, I find this reviving some fond memories of my youth and a time long gone. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to all.
Blessed New Year to you Al.
This is beautiful, enjoy your time friend.
Same to you "Al Katraz".
Where you from Al?
_best of everything to all in 2021_
My brother lost his battle with depression on May 18th, 2021. This song is incredibly hard to listen to, but it reminds me to not forget the memories. He won’t be with us on Earth for 2022 but he will in spirit, and I will never forget how awesome he was. He only lived to be 32 but I treasure every year I had with him.
My condolences, may your brother no longer know pain. Wherever he is now. ❤️🙏
I am so so sorry for your loss. I hope he's in a better place now free of pain, and may he continue to live forever in your heart and the hearts of all the people who knew and loved him ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences to you and your family. He lives on in your heart, and you will treasure all the memories you had with him.
Sorry for your loss. Wishing you strength and peace.
I’m so sorry for your loss may your brother rest in peace this is such a sad song I don’t know why I feel sad when it’s played on NYE. My cousin is in a hospice right now and we are waiting for God to take her, what a tough year for a lot of us. May 2022 be better.
I might be a 19 year hard rock fan but this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard
I’m a 21 year old hardcore raver but this is still epically world class

in 30 years you people will still be in the comments saying "omg guys I'm only 50 but I like classical music, I was born in the wrong generation"
@imperialofficer6185 not saying I was born in the wrong generation, I just think this song is beautiful
I come back here every new year. I enjoy this rendition. Happy 2024 to everybody here - my brothers, sisters, and friends :)
My countrymen.
We call this song "友谊地久天长" in Chinese, which means "friendship forever". Thank you schloars from UCD to reminds me of my childhood and all these years I have been through. And to everyone who seeing this comment, no matter what age, gender, nationality and religion you are, I wish you to be happy.
From the States, I raise my pint cup to you, my friend. It was a hard one.

If this doesn't give you chills, check your pulse.
…or you must come from a culture that rejects music-and those cultures are horrible.
i got hypothermia from it
@@ROMA--AETERNA there are cultures that do that?
@@k_taaro I hope not! (And wish to remain ignorant of music-rejecting cultures.)
this ain't it chief, some people with depression have difficulty feeling emotions at times even for things they enjoy
"Remember George, no man is a failure who has friends."

In today's context, the word friendship has lost a lot of its inherent meaning though!
@@micro_my_blood keep believing someday we will meet our true friend brother, my the universe bless your journey
I’ve given up on friendships I’ve been stabbed in the back so much that the next time it happens it will pierce my heart and I’ll never get back up
A very happy new year 2024 to all reading this.
Thank you! Wishing the same for you! ♥️
Great globalist finance controls politics (conservative, labour, SNP, greens are full of great finance puppets) and wants to destroy family (gender theory, LGBT ideology, pornography, ...) because family is the greatest obstacle to the full control of people; muslim immigrants in Europe are also instruments for this satanic project; SNP has nothing Scottish about it (except the name). Read G.K. Chesterton, a great defender of family and freedom. Wake up Scots: protect your families, children and freedom!
Hearing this beautiful rendition reminds me how badly we all want this damned year to end
Be strong and courageous.
Don't let anything get the best of you,you will make it out alive.
Amen!!
2020: This is your warning.
2021: Buckle up kids!
2022: You should have listened.
@Bob Mathews It certainly will with that attitude! :)
Hope things become beautiful once again...!!
Many new faces, same wonderful sound.
It's now 2024 but this song never gets old. Who are listening right now. ?
We all are, buddy. We all are :)
Me. Old songs are always remembered ❤
🥹
Does get auld tho...
Beautiful song, I'll drink to you all here ❤
We call this song "hotaru-no-hikari" in Japanese.
This song remind me of a graduation ceremony or commencement.
They move me extraordinarily.
What does "hotaru" mean?
@@martaleszkiewicz5115 Hotaru is a firefly and hikari is a glow in Japanese. Namely, hotaru no hikari means fireflies' glow.
Oooooh that is fantastic. The playful flickering of firelight to hold memories but no current heat. Thank you for the metaphor.
The Japanese supermarket uses this song to close their store 😂
Naruto opening..?
I recently lost a friend, we were 3 and we used to be called 3 musketeers... Now he's gone. The beauty of your song reminds me we shared precious moments, the beauty of your voices tell me maybe i can meet him again in an other world one day.
Sorry for your loss... Hope he's watching over you..
@@lotteleeuw-kroon9874 thank you for your kind words, hope you are fine
@@lotteleeuw-kroon9874 At a time when there was no national music source in Korea, it was also called the national music source.
Sorry for your loss. My condolences to you.
For sure you will be reunited one day again xx
Perhaps the best version of this song I have ever heard.
Same man
@@blazedknight9061 I agree
Check out home free’s version
Watch the movie "It's a wonderful life". They sing in the final scene. The best version

The finnish national broadcasting company YLE chose this version of this song to honour the memory of Her Majesty. I am glad for this, as I discovered this beautiful choir.
Hilarious.
This is probably the most timeless song in human history and this is by far the best version I've heard or will ever hear. God speed to all in the coming new year.
merry christmas to all in these difficult times
You too!!!!
😊 happy new year!
Happy New Year✨🎆
Yep my merry way Christmas it was a tough year so glad it’s 2021
And to You!
I’m a bricklayer and this brought me to my knees. There was me thinking I had a heart of stone. Thank you.
All hearts are soft friend... It depends on the touch
I guess it would be ideal to listen to this when first few rows are being layed 🤔
@@WhatIsThisForAgain this song will help break the stone
All hearts can be remolded if only we yield them to He who made them. He who has an ear, let him hear.

As a Dutch citizen at work in the UK (1995/1996) I had the honour of hearing precious pub folk sing Auld Lang Syne. I went straight trhough my veins, into my heart and never left. Thank you for your beautiful performance!🥰😍🤩😘

Happy New Year 🎉 2024
The saddest song I have ever heard. I cannot hear it and think of old friends and lovers. Some still alive and some passed. Never fails to bring me to tears.
U seem like a good ol' fella! Take care...
Auld Lang syne ... times long past
Nah this is a happy song
As I listen to their beautifully singing Auld Lang Syne, I feel “ Purity and Peace” are being harmoniously melted into like an eternal crystal in my heart ❤
I've never heard anything so beautiful in all my 75 years. It is angelic. Thank you and bless you all!
My Irish pride swells when I hear the choral scholars sing - I have been watching the videos for years - this was beautiful !!
Mine too. And I'm not even Irish.
@@alankilen6646 Someday I'll be there for sure. Thank you!
Why? Do you not have any accomplishments of your own?
@@jb76489 I don’t quite understand how a compliment to a chorus group inspires you to write a underhanded slap back to me? I guess one of my accomplishments is not to be an ass while online - too bad you can’t say the same.
@@bdc2178 oh go cry to someone who cares. I asked a simple question. Why do you feel pride in something you have no connection to?
If this isn’t played when I get to heaven then I’m not going.
I am going to hell but I agree
@@paracetamol256 had a good laugh🤣🤣
I couldn't agree more with your beautifully expressed sentiments. Tthank you. Everything about this video is perfect. Best wishes to you for a Happier New Year! Cheers . James T. USA
Please see my comment below. It was intended to address your thought that if this isn't being played in heaven, you're not going. I share your sentiment!. Best wishes.. James T..USA
exactly
This poem always spoke to me. God Bless and happy New Year!
I cry for Scotland. they have had such a sad history yet have made such fantastic contributions to mankind
I do not think we have a sad history, just history but yes we have made a great contribution to the world
I cry when I watch them playing football - another year, same garbage.
Perfect!
Now, as the tradition is with all the previous songs, its time ti re-listen this for about a thousand times.
indeed!
Same! :)
😆😆🤣😄 same.
Amen.
I'm joining!
I m from Kosovo but Love extremly Scotland Music. Bravo very heart touching👉🏽❤️👍🙏🏼
I am Turkish and strangely I have a passion toward everything Celtic. You know, it is so beautiful 🇹🇷❤️🇮🇪🏴
Not that weird, the celts (Galatians) actually expanded in to Anatolia at one point.
Me too. I love everything Irish and Celtic. I'm a Bosnian, went to Trinity College Dublin for my uni, played Rugby and Gaelic Football as a student, support Fermanagh GAA, etc.
From an American Irish gal, this is worth every wave and tide across the seas!
May everyone find pace this Holiday. God bless
Tribute to my dear companion Wallace Li, who passed away on 10/31/2023, gratitude for being able to share our time and love together and all the lessons we went through. Missing you so much
My God.
This is THE most beautiful version of Auld Lang Syne I have ever had the plessure of hearing.
Hats off to everyone involved.
If only people really understood the meaning of this song... world would be a f***cking better place. Beautiful words, voices and young people. Let's just raise a cup for all that's good in this world and forget all, that went wrong. Cheers from Poland.
Happy New Years From the United States of Amnesia -
Right!!!
0:53 what a beautiful and pure voice. I still have goose bumps
Yes
Happy New Year, y’all!!
I am French and I thank my teacher of English to have taught this song which yet goes straight to my hart.
There are moments in life when you see or hear something so exquisitely beautiful it gives you hope for the human race.
This is one of those things.
Thank you.
The world will get back up on it's feet. We just have to all work together despite our racial, religious and political differences.
They did a great job.
a choir of priviledged white people singing old songs, missing their meaning, gives you hope? yeahh... well. I hope you will lose all hope, dude.
@@Tekhaus Oh my god, people like you are the reason why there is so much division and hatred in the world.
@@Tekhaus You are sooo racist!!! What is wrong with you? Let me give you some context: You do know this is an old english/scottish song right?.... It was historically sung in old Europe. It's literally the equivalent of a black choir singing old gospel songs. sheeeesh.
My father passed away on New Year's Eve 2016 so this song brings us so many emotions for me. This was perfect. This sounds like Heaven.
May he rest in peace

I lost my partner March 11th of 2021. This song is emotional. He won’t be with us in 2022 but his spirit lives on forever.
Absolutely love the version. Am sharing with my family. Happy New Year and God Bless all of you today and always.
Masterful. They bring the old Irish and Scottish songs into ethereal places.
This is my favourite song-even since I was a kid, I have said I would like this sung at my funeral. This is the most beautiful version I have ever heard, it moved me to tears. Aside from Covid, this year has been the worst year of my life, after my partner of 15 years left me, and I’m stranded overseas in the US (I am from the UK) and can’t travel home because of Covid. It’s been so hard and lonely. But this, this right here, moved me to tears and gave me some peace during an awful period in my life. Thank you.
@Laura Elliott I'm 14 and I thought the exact same thing about the funeral. 😅
Hi Josh D, will keep you and your partner in my prayers when praying the Rosary.
find your strength back, Bro. Praying with you right now. email me if you can kcym2012@gmail.com. Much love, Bro.
@Josh D. Just remember, the lowest ebb is the turn of the tide. Best wishes sending across the waves from Ireland.
A heartfelt New Year in harmony as one. "Take a cup of kindness..."
Τhis song is like angels singing.
Like a choir of angels. Beautiful
May 2024 bring us all good fortune, fellow travellers! Long we may live and journey on.
Moved my heart as a child, though I didn’t why. Know much older it means so much more and now I’m most oft moved to tears.❤️
very true
My 8 month old son loves this song. This version particularly. It's his lullaby. We listen to it on repeat. Thank you for soothing my baby when I can't.
A small drop of brightness in a world that’s very dark at the moment. My heart thanks you and so do my ears.
For all those people we couldn't save this year... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry we're all full up with selfish and self righteous fools. I'm so sorry we didn't do more. I'm sorry we didn't fight harder against this disease, that we weren't more cautious. Your loss falls on us, those that lived. So as I listen to this song once again at the end of year, I say this. We won't forget you. And I swear, we'll do better. We won't forget you.
@BladeRadius Yea right, so the refrigerated semi-trailers used as morgues on hospital grounds shouldn't be there.
@@jaykyu1 correct
My Grandparents used to play this. I still have no idea why almost 30 years later, I still break listening to this.. Beautifully beautiful..
Because you loved them. And love never forgets. It never fades. It never dies.
@deblosey811 Thankyou. You are right, albeit, I soon discovered it was because of heritage. My Homeland, and how it had been destroyed. 2024 will be a revival year.
I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
I'd call that perfection. And as so often experienced, Desmond Earley's arrangement for the UCD Choral Scholars is of another world, and this performance by each and all of the singers beakons our hearts to join them in that very place. Trip to the Emerald Isle anyone? Wonderful indeed. Thank you.
This version is in fact perfection Mr. Cliburn. Happy Holidays…
For Betty White. RIP. A true Lady.
Happy 2024 all🎉 back here for the annual classic listening
So good I'm listening to this twice, back to back, in June.
how does June feel about that?
I see a pattern forming 👀
Same here.
Half New Years day is on July 1st and half Christmas is on June 25th so no problem at all.
I've been listening to this a lot too...
My adoptive father, Darrell and my ma's brother, Richard both passed away recently and this has been kinda my go to when I hit the low - lows.
Marvellous!
happy new years 2024!
🎉 happy new years 2024
One of the most rewarding subscriptions I've ever made. This channel is incredible. Still also in love with Mo Ghille Mear
Same!
Hoping for more videos in the new year!!
I just came here from Mo Ghille Mear 😂
Exactly! :)
I play MGM multiple times per week at the least.
I've listened to this song almost every years for over 6 decades, and this is one, of not THE most beautiful version that I've heard. The beauty of the music supports the feelings of hope and happiness for a new and better year! Thank you for sharing!
This IS the most beautiful version I've ever heard. I love choral music. Happy New Year.
Remember your friends, and loved ones. Time passes so very quickly and we are here for just a short time. God bless you and help you find your way to Him.

Brings me back to where I was a kid sitting in front of a warm fire place in the living room with Mom, Dad, and family during X-mas.
I have not Scottish family that I know of, but 2yr ago I lost my sister at 26yr old and always listen to this and for what ever reason gets me everytime . this songs digs deep in your mind and brings things back to life ..... thank you
Beautiful in every single way
Happy 2024🎉
Üdvözlet Magyarországról! Gyönyörű dal. Mi magyarok is muzikális nép vagyunk, a történelmünk pedig sokban hasonlít a skót és ír nép történelmére. Emiatt is kedves nekünk ez a dal.
This has to be the most incredibly moving & most spectacular song I have ever heard in my entire 63 years of life! I have tears pouring down my cheeks . . . I feel like I’ve entered a magnificent cathedral & this stunningly beautiful chorus of angels was waiting to greet me. Thank you for such a timeless piece of musical perfection. 🙏🙏😇❤️
The opening is....ethereal in its beauty. I felt like I was in a cathedral and hearing the voices of angels.
Happy New year's!!!!!!!! 2024
I'm writing this particular version into my will. To be played as the last hymn at the service. All royalties to be divided between these divine singers.
This Christmas week was a really bad one ,and I’m praying to GOD the new year will be kinder 🙏😣🙏

Oh my god. Just absolutely gorgeous performance.
I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful rendition of this song. VERY well done young ladies and gentlemen.
Happy New Year to you all!
No wonder there's not a single dislike. Flawless arrangement, flawless performace. Flawless music. And sympathetic people there.
May She never be forgotten
Happy New Year 2023! Beautiful rendition, I come back every year for this!
Can’t stop crying. This song has always touched my heart. It’s happy and melancholy. Reflective and pensive. So much hope lies within it all. It also has the feeling of resolution & closure. 🥹🫂
I'm listening to this from the great Lone Star state of Texas. Very impressive singing. Very clear, true tones, no distortions or competition, but an expert blend and nice harmonies. The closest thing to a Heavenly choir.
Happy new year everyone
The tenor notes are just exquisite
What an absolutely sublime rendition of this most treasured song. Thank you.
New Year’s always sort of sad for me. I haven’t made much in my life so lot of it with regret. I just wish for a better year and some real love with someone who loves me back. Happy New year🎉
I can't describe the emotion your singing evokes. For some reason my eyes leak when listening to this. Simply beautiful! Thank you.
This arrangement reaches out and grabs you by the heart and pours nostalgia and hope and love into you. Some of the best four minutes on this website and that I’ll ever hear. Phenomenal!
By far the best rendition I've ever heard!
Yes but you might want to try the versions by Judy Collins and Sissel.
@@fbagbey Let his compliment flow to them uninterrupted.
